isotopes of a given element differ in the number of neutrons they have.
The difference is the number of neutrons contained in the atom's nucleus
its cool...there just different
they can distinguish one element from another becasue by the protons and the nuetrons , they can over come almost anything.
to make one element a different element, all you need to do is have a different number of protons
isotopes of a given element differ in the number of neutrons they have.
Atoms of the same element can differ from one another in their atomic mass, which is determined by the number of neutrons in the nucleus. These variations are called isotopes. Isotopes of the same element have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons.
By number of protons/electrons.
Isotopes of an element have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons. This results in variations in atomic mass for isotopes. The element atoms on the periodic table represent the average mass of all its naturally occurring isotopes.

One element takes the place of another in a compound.
An element is a composition of many atoms. Thus you can hold NaCl (salt) in your hand. You can't hold the atoms it makes up.
An element's atomic number, or number of protons, differentiates one element from another.
Isotopes of one particular element differ only in their number of neutrons in nucleus.
One element differs from another element by the number of protons in their atoms. The number of protons in the atom is known as the atomic number. Also one isotope of an element differs from another isotope of the same element by the number of neutrons in their atoms.
Atoms of different elements differ in their number of protons, which determines the element's identity. Each element has a unique number of protons in its nucleus, leading to distinct chemical properties. Differences in the number of neutrons and electrons can result in isotopes and ions of the same element.
