Isotopes have the same number of protons, but a different number of neutrons (they are the same element however).

Isotones have different numbers of protons, but the same number of neutrons, and are thus different elements.

Atoms of an element can have different numbers of protons?

No, they can't. Atoms (be careful of the difference between atoms and ions) can only have different numbers of neutrons, and those are called isotopes.

What are the difference between isotopes ions and molecules?

the main difference between an ions and molecules is that an ion contain the positive "cation" as well as negatively "anions" charge.The main reason is that the ions are the compounds composed of metals and non metals,so the intermix of the outer shell of particular atom can create the different charges.Where as in molecules,they are nuetral.

What is the difference between ions and isotopes?

An isotope is two or more forms of the same element that contain equal numbers of protons but different numbers of neutrons in their nuclei. An ion is atom or molecule with a net electric charge due to the loss or gain of one or more electrons. Usually, isotopes are radioactive and only there neutrons differ. Ions are molecules that gain or lose electrons to fill their outer energy level.


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

No. The only difference between 2 isotopes of the same element is the number of neutrons.
