If an atom of the same element has the same number of protons but a different number of neutrons, then they are isotopes.

How are isotopes different from state atoms?

The atoms of a chemical element can exist in different types. These are called isotopes. They have the same number of protons (and electrons), but different numbers of neutrons. Different isotopes of the same element have different masses.


What are atoms of the same element but with different masses?

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.


What is it called when you have the same element but different mass number?

They are isotopes of that element, they have different neutron numbers.

What is the name given to atoms of the same element that have the same number of protons?

Atoms of the same element cannot have different numbers of protons. Different numbers of protons mean different elements. An atom with the a different number of neutrons is called an isotope.

What do you call atoms of the same element with different atomic masses?

They are called isotopes. They have different mass nmbers because they have a different number of neutrons.

What is the name for different forms of the same element?

ALLOTROPES are forms of an element where the atoms are arranged in different shapes and so they have different properties. The allotropes of carbon are diamond, graphite and buckyballs. Phosphorus has several allotropes (including white phosphorus and red phosphorus). Sulphur also has several allotropes. An alternative answer to the question is different atoms of the same element that have different atomic masses are called ISOTOPES.
