This is absolutely correct. When we speak of an isotope, we are talking about an element (which has a given atomic number, the number of protons in its nucleus), and the different "nuclear configurations" it has. These configurations are simply atoms with the same number of protons, but different numbers of neutron. These different numberrs of neutronsl result in atoms with different mass numbers. It's pretty simple and straightforward.

What pairs differ by only a proton?
Isotopes of an element with adjacent atomic numbers differ by only a proton. For example, carbon-12 and carbon-13 isotopes differ by one proton.
Carbon atom with atomic no of 6 and atomic mass of 12 considered isotopes of one another?
No. A carbon atom has both an atomic number and an atomic mass. All carbon atoms have an atomic number of 6. The most common carbon atom has an atomic mass of 12. See the Related Questions for more information about carbon, isotopes and atomic number and atomic mass.Go to Answers.com and punch in "carbon isotopes" and it will show you various isotopes and the atomic mass (u) associated with each (shown as isotopic mass).
How do different isotopes of an element differ?
Different isotopes of an element have the same number of protons but differ in the number of neutrons in their nuclei. This results in different atomic weights for each isotope. Isotopes of an element may exhibit different physical properties and may have varying degrees of stability.
True or false two isotopes of carbon are carbon-12 and carbon-14 theese isotopes differ from one another by two ELECTRONS?
False. Carbon-12 and carbon-14 are isotopes of carbon that differ in the number of neutrons in their nuclei, not electrons. Carbon-12 has 6 neutrons, while carbon-14 has 8 neutrons. The number of electrons in an atom is determined by its atomic number, which is the same for both isotopes of carbon (6 electrons).
What term deceives atoms with different atomic masses due to varying number of neutrons?
The term that describes atoms with different atomic masses due to varying numbers of neutrons is "isotopes." Isotopes of an element have the same number of protons but differ in their neutron count, resulting in different atomic masses. For example, carbon-12 and carbon-14 are isotopes of carbon, with 6 and 8 neutrons, respectively.
What pairs differ by only a proton?
Isotopes of an element with adjacent atomic numbers differ by only a proton. For example, carbon-12 and carbon-13 isotopes differ by one proton.
What atoms with same atomic number but different atomic masses?
Isotopes are atoms with the same number of protons (same atomic number) but different numbers of neutrons, leading to different atomic masses. For example, carbon-12 and carbon-14 are isotopes of carbon with atomic number 6 but atomic masses of 12 and 14 respectively.
Carbon atom with atomic no of 6 and atomic mass of 12 considered isotopes of one another?
No. A carbon atom has both an atomic number and an atomic mass. All carbon atoms have an atomic number of 6. The most common carbon atom has an atomic mass of 12.

How do isotopes of an element differ?
Different isotopes of an element differ in the number of neutrons and thus in their atomic weight.

How many protons are there in the C-12 isotopes?
All isotopes of the same element differ only in the number of neutrons, not protons. As we are talking about carbon, all isotopes of carbon have 6 protons.There are 6 protons in C-12 isotope. Its atomic number is also 6.The number of neutrons is also 6.
Atoms of same chemical element that have different atomic mass are known as?
Isotopes. They differ in the number of neutrons in the nucleus.
Does the atomic number change in the three isotopes of hydrogen?
No the atomic number is same for the three isotopes of hydrogen (it is 1). The three isotopes of hydrogen differ by the number of neutrons.
