Carbon
Number of Protons/Electrons: 6
Number of Neutrons: 6
Atoms having the same number of protons and neutrons make up the same element.
Protons and 8 neutrons
Yes, but they have varying amounts of neutrons.
You add up the mass of the protons, neutrons, and electrons. Protons and Neutrons having an atomic mass of 1, and electrons having an atomic mass of roughly 1/1800.
Isotopes have different numbers of electrons, but not different atomic numbers (numbers of protons) or they'd be different elements.
Atoms and elements can vary in many ways. Atoms mainly vary by having different numbers of protons, electrons, and neutrons. The count of protons makes up an elements mass number.
These atoms are called isotopes.
Atoms having the same number of protons and neutrons make up the same element.
Elements having more than 92 protons, the atomic number of uranium, are called transuranium elements.
The atom is made up of the nucleus (neutrons and protons) and electrons.
The number of protons that an element has defines what that element is, regardless of the number of neutrons it has. Therefore, the chemical element having 82 protons, which is lead, or Pb, can take many different forms. In fact, there are 38 different known isotopes of lead, ranging from having 96 neutrons to having 133 neutrons. Despite that, they are all still called lead.
the mass number is determined on the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of the atom.
Protons and 8 neutrons

Well, when two elements have the same number of protons, they are atoms of the same element. Each element has its unique proton number. If an atom has 1 atom, it is called Hydrogen. If it has 2, it is called Helium. If it has 20, it is called Calcium. However, the number of neutrons may differ. For example, in the case of Hydrogen, it may have no neutron, 1 neutron or 2 neutrons, and still be called Hydrogen. However, they are called 'isotopes', meaning members of the same element(same number of proton), but having different neutron numbers.
