If a sample of an element contains atoms of different mass numbers, the name of the element followed by a hyphen and the mass number is the name of an isotope of the element.
Yes, isotopes of an element have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons, leading to variations in atomic mass. This is why the atomic mass on the periodic table is often listed as a range for an element.
Isotopes have different numbers of electrons, but not different atomic numbers (numbers of protons) or they'd be different elements.
The number of neutrons in the nucleus is different in each isotope of an element. Isotopes of an element have the same number of protons (atomic number) but different numbers of neutrons, leading to variations in atomic mass.
They are called isotopes of the same element
Atoms that have the same atomic number but different neutron numbers are known as isotopes. Isotopes of an element have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons, leading to variations in their atomic mass.

The different mass numbers are due to different numbers of neutrons.
No element has this atomic number. All atomic numbers are whole numbers.
Isotopes have different numbers of electrons, but not different atomic numbers (numbers of protons) or they'd be different elements.
The number of neutrons in the nucleus is different in each isotope of an element. Isotopes of an element have the same number of protons (atomic number) but different numbers of neutrons, leading to variations in atomic mass.

The atomic number of an element is the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom of that element. It determines the unique identity of an element and its position on the periodic table. Elements with the same atomic number belong to the same element, while elements with different atomic numbers are different elements.
Isotopes of the same element have different numbers of neutrons in their atomic nuclei. This results in isotopes having slightly different atomic masses while maintaining the same number of protons (which determines the element's identity).
No. The atomic number of an element is determined by its number of protons. If two atoms have different numbers of protons, they have different atomic numbers and are different elements.
