sure, neutrons differ in elements

From the Periodic Table, they are fixed. However, there are also isotopes, where the element remains the same and contains the same number of protons but with different number of neutrons. For example, sulfur is present as 32S, 33S, 34S and 36S in nature. This means that the number of neutron + the number of proton in a sulfur atom can be 32, 33, 34 or 36. However, the constant in the 4 isotopes is that all of them contain only 16 protons.
