Neutron
With 4 protons, 3 electrons, and 5 neutrons, this atom is an isotope of beryllium. The number of protons in an atom determines its identity, so this atom is still beryllium due to its 4 protons. The difference in neutron number makes it an isotope of beryllium.
The number of protons, which are found in the nucleus of an atom.
No, never. An isotope has to do with the nucleus of the atom.
The beta radiation of the isotope carbon-14 is measured.
An atom with 13 protons and 15 neutrons is an isotope of aluminum, specifically aluminum-28 (³¹Al). The number of protons defines the element as aluminum, while the number of neutrons determines the isotope. This isotope is radioactive and has a relatively short half-life.

The number of neutrons in an atom determines the isotope of the element. Isotopes of an element have the same number of protons but differing numbers of neutrons. This affects the stability and nuclear properties of the atom.
The neutron; the proton determines the element of the atom, but different atoms of the same element can have different atomic masses, due to the different number of neutrons of the atoms. Atoms of same element having same number of protons but different number of neutrons are called Isotopes. Thus, neutron determines the isotope of an atom.

Definitively ' an Isotope has a different number of neutrons'. Most elements exhibit isotopes. However, for hydrogen , it has three isotopes. #1 protium ; 1 proton, 0 neutrons , 1 electron (The commonest isotope) #2 deuterium ; 1 proton. 1 neutron, 1 electron ( heavy hydrogen_ #3 tritium ; 1 proton , 2 neutrons , 1 electron ( super heavy hydrogen/radio-active). Notice in each case that the number of neutrons varies, but the other particles remain the same.
The number of protons in an atom determines what that atom is called. Therefore, sodium, or Na, always has 11 protons. The particular isotope of sodium that has 12 neutrons is called 23Na, and is the only stable isotope of sodium.
Atoms, ions, and isotopes of an element all have the same number of protons in their nucleus, which determines the element's identity.
Isotopes are very important part of calculations in chemistry. They are different elements of same atomic number.
No, never. An isotope has to do with the nucleus of the atom.
Yes, they usually are; being an isotope does not change the chemistry of the atom.
The beta radiation of the isotope carbon-14 is measured.
