It is called an Isotope.... C12, C13, C14 is a classical example

What are atoms of the same element that differ in 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.
How do atoms differ from each other?
The essential difference is the number of protons.
How are atoms of different elements differ to each other?
Atoms are differentiated by the number of protons in their nuclei.
Are all atoms alike?
No. Atoms differ in the number of protons, neutrons, and electrons.
Atoms with the same number of protons but different number of neutrons are called?
These atoms are called isotopes.
Are atoms that have the same number of protons but differ in the number of neutrons?
Those are called Isotopes.
Atoms that have the same number of protons but differ in the number of neutrons is what?
Isotopes.
Atoms of one element differ from atoms of another?
By number of protons/electrons.
What are atoms of the same element that differ in 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 are the atoms that have the same number of protons called?
Two atoms that have the same number of protons are called isotopes.
How do elements differ?
They are different in the number of protons their atoms contain.
How do atoms differ from each other?
The essential difference is the number of protons.
How are atoms different from each other?
Atoms differ in atomic number. The atomic number = the # of protons in the atom.
What are the two atoms that have the same number of protons called?
Two atoms that have the same number of protons are called isotopes.
How atoms of different element differ in their atomic structure?
Atoms of different elements differ in their number of protons, neutrons, and electrons.
How atoms differ from each other?
The essential difference is the number of protons.
Neutral atoms of the same element can differ in their number of?
Neutrons. If the differ in electrons they are not neutral and if they differ in protons then they are no longer the same element as the number of protons determines the name of the element.
