Yes. An example would be carbon-12. It has 6 protons and 6 neutrons.

Isotopes have the same element but different?

Isotopes of the same element have the same number of protons and electrons, but varied numbers of neutrons.


Two isotopes of the same element have the same number of what?

They have the same number of protons and different number of neutrons.


What atom has the same number of protons and a different number of neutrons from other atoms of the same element?

Isotopes of an element have the same number of protons but differing numbers of neutrons in the nucleus.


Which atoms that are same element and have the same number of protons but have different number of neutrons?

Isotopes are atoms of the same element with the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons. An example is carbon-12 and carbon-14, which both have six protons but differ in the number of neutrons they possess.


How many protons and neutrons do atoms of the same element have?

Atoms of the same element usually have the same number of protons but differ slightly in the number of neutrons. The number of neutrons are usually about the number of protons so it can be estimated as so. For example, there are two relatively common isotopes of sodium: sodium 22 and sodium 23, where the number is the total number of protons and neutrons. Sodium 22 has 11 neutrons and sodium 23 has 12 neutrons but the sodium atom has 11 protons. For further information, look up isotopes.


What is the name given to atoms of the same element that have the same number of protons?

Atoms of the same element cannot have different numbers of protons. Different numbers of protons mean different elements. An atom with the a different number of neutrons is called an isotope.


What does the mass number tell about an isotope?

The mass number of an isotope tells you the total number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of that atom. It is used to distinguish different isotopes of an element, as isotopes of the same element have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons.


Can 2 isotopes of the same element differ in the number of protons?

An element is defined by the number of protons, so this cannot vary. Isotopes of a particular element are different in the number of neutrons within the atoms. These isotopes are said to be comparatively "lighter" or "heavier" than other isotopes based on the total of protons and neutrons (atomic mass).


Does a isotope of a element have more protons?

All isotopes of an element have the same number of protons, otherwise they would not be the same element. What varies is the number of neutrons, they can be more or less than in the stable isotope(s) of the element.


Can two different element have the same number of proton?

No, the number of protons determines the element. Each element has a unique number of protons in its nucleus, which is what defines its identity. If two elements had the same number of protons, they would be the same element.
