No, 17O and 18O have differing numbers of neutrons, which make them isotopes of oxygen, along with 16O.

What are atoms that have different masses but the number of protons?

Atoms that have different masses but the same number of protons are called isotopes. Isotopes of an element have the same number of protons, which determines the element's identity, but a different number of neutrons, leading to variations in atomic mass.


Do both isotopes have the same mass number?

An Isotope of an element is an atom that has the same number of protons, (number of protons is the defining feature of an element) but different number of neutrons.Because The mass number is the sum of protons and neutrons, different isotopes have different mass numbers.


Can If the number of protons in an atom were changed it would be a different element?

Yes, if the number of protons in an atom changes, it becomes a different element. The number of protons, known as the atomic number, uniquely defines each element on the periodic table. For example, an atom with 6 protons is carbon, while one with 7 protons is nitrogen. Therefore, altering the number of protons transforms the atom into a different element altogether.


Isotopes of a given element have what?

An isotope has same number of protons but a different number of neutrons as the original element in the atomic nucleus; it has the same atomic number as the element which isn't an isotope, but will have a different mass number. -atomic number

Is it true that the number of protons is different for the two isotopes?

Not; the number of protons in isotopes is identical; only the number of neutrons is different.


Does radium have the same number of protons but different number of neutrons?

All isotopes of radium have the same number of protons; the number of neutrons is different.


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.


Do protons of an element vary?

All atoms of the same element have the same number of protons. Atoms of different elements have different numbers of protons. The number of protons determines the element.


Can 2 different elements have the same number of protons?

No, the number of protons is what determines what element it is


What are two atoms called when they have different number of protons?

The atomic number is the number of protons, so in this case it is 2, which is Helium. The charge or ionization of the atom is the difference between the number of protons and the number of electrons; in this case, they are the same, so the atom is neutral (not ionized). The atomic mass number is the sum of the protons and neutrons, so in this case 4. Thus, you have a non-ionized atom of Helium-4.


Do atoms of a different element have different numbers of protons?

Yes, atoms of different elements have a different number of protons.


What do different elements have different numbers of?

Different elements have different numbers of protons. The number of protons identifies the element.


Do all aluminum atoms have the same number of protons?

yes, all aluminum atoms have the same number of protons. The number of protons in an atom give it its identity. Isotopes are different atoms of the same element with the same number of protons, but a different number of neutrons.
