Isotopes
If two different nuclides have the same atomic number, it means they belong to the same element, as the atomic number corresponds to the number of protons in the nucleus. However, these nuclides differ in their number of neutrons, resulting in different mass numbers. This variation leads to the existence of isotopes, which can have different physical and chemical properties despite being the same element.
They are called isotopes of the same element
Isotopes. The isotope has the same number of protons and electrons as the regular atom, but has more (or sometimes less) neutrons, and therefore its atomic mass is more (or less, depending on whether the neutrons have increased or decreased).
An isotope is an element that has the same number of protons and a different number of neutrons, whereas a nuclide is a specifically defined isotope. Quite literally, they refer to the exact same atom, but the difference lies in the definition. Nuclides are defined by many different aspects, such as half life, mode of decay, percent abundance, and so on. The Chart of the Nuclides is a very extensive reference for the characteristics of over 3000 different isotopes. The term isotope is merely a way of differentiating between an atom that is the same element (same number of protons) but has varying numbers of neutrons.
Atoms that have the same number of protons but different weights are called isotopes. Isotopes of an element have the same atomic number (number of protons), but a different atomic mass (sum of protons and neutrons) due to varying numbers of neutrons.

Heavy nuclides are atoms that have a high atomic number and are typically found in the lower region of the periodic table, such as elements like lead, uranium, and thorium. These nuclides often have a high mass and can be unstable, leading to radioactive decay.
All isotopes of all elements with atomic number similar or greater than 84 are radioactive, and don't have stable nuclei.
If they have the same atomic number but different mass, then they have a different number of neutrons, and they are called ISOTOPES.
They are called isotopes of the same element
the answer is that it is called a atomic number.
They are called isotopes. eg we have different isotopes of carbon
Isotopes of an element have different masses but the same atomic number. Isotopes have the same number of protons and electrons but different numbers of neutrons in their nuclei.
isotopes Atoms of the same element are called Isotopes. they have the same number of atoms (i.e. same atomic number) but different number of neutrons
Isotopes. eg U235 and U238. Both Uranium, atomic number 92, bur different isotopes.
Nuclides 16 and 15 differ primarily in their atomic mass and the number of neutrons they contain. For instance, the nuclide with mass number 16 (such as oxygen-16) has 8 protons and 8 neutrons, while the nuclide with mass number 15 (such as nitrogen-15) has 7 protons and 8 neutrons. This difference in the number of protons also means they belong to different elements, affecting their chemical properties and behavior.
