Atoms that have different mass numbers but the [same] number of protons are called isotopes.
If two atoms are isotopes, it means they have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons. Thus, they have the same atomic numbers, but different atomic masses.

An element is made up of only one type of atom. Atoms are only different from each other due to their atomic number - which is the number of protons. Different elements may have different relative atomic masses, but it is the differing number of protons in each atom that determines which element it is.
Isotopes are atoms with the same number of protons (atomic number) but different numbers of neutrons, resulting in different atomic masses. These isotopes have similar chemical properties but may have different physical properties due to their different masses.
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.

The isotopes of an element have the same number of protons, but different numbers of neutrons.
Atoms of the same element that have different masses are called isotopes of the element. The presence of different numbers of neutrons in the nucleus is responsible for the existence of isotopes of an element.

Two atoms are isotopes of each other when they have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons. This results in the atoms having the same chemical properties but different atomic masses.

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