Isotope.
Isotopes are variant forms of an atom that differ in the number of neutrons. Each isotope of an element has the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons. These variations in neutrons give each isotope a slightly different atomic mass.
Isotopes are two or more forms of the same chemical element that differ in atomic mass due to having a different number of neutrons in their nuclei. These isotopes of an element have the same number of protons and electrons but vary in their overall mass.
Nothing happens to the number of neutrons nor protons. it's just the electron number that changes. If an atom gains electrons, it increases and the ion is negative and vice versa. the number of neutrons or protons DOES NOT CHANGE.
We call these different "flavors" of an element the isotopes of that element.
Isotopes are atoms that have the same number of protons and electrons. They have the same atomic number on the periodic table but they have a different number of neutrons and so they have different mass. Isotopes of the same element can have different chemical properties.
such forms of an elements are known as isotopes.
Yes, isotopes of an element are the same element but with different numbers of neutrons in the nucleus and thus different atomic masses.

Isotopes are forms of the same element that differ in Neutrons.
An element is defined by the number of protons, so this cannot vary. Isotopes of a particular element are different in the number of neutrons within the atoms. These isotopes are said to be comparatively "lighter" or "heavier" than other isotopes based on the total of protons and neutrons (atomic mass).

Neutrons. The number of protons is ALWAYS the same for the same element. Different forms of the same element, called isotopes, differ in the number of neutrons only and will react chemically in exactly the same way.
