If the number of protons changes so does the element, as the number of protons defines the element.

How are isotopes identifield?

By the numbers of protons


What are atoms containing the same numbers of protons and different numbers of neutrons are?

Atoms containing the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons are called isotopes. Isotopes have the same atomic number (number of protons) but differ in atomic mass due to the varying number of neutrons.


What are the different numbers of neutrons called when two atoms have the same number of protons?

Two atoms with the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons are called "isotopes".


Are the Isotopes are atoms of the same element with the same number of protons and?

The isotopes of an element have the same number of protons, but different numbers of neutrons.


Do isotopes exist because atoms of the same element can have different numbers of protons?

Isotopes have the same number of protons and electrons; the number of neutrons is different.


Do the atomic numbers of such isotopes differ?

No. Isotopes have the same atomic number, protons and electrons. They have different neutrons.


Can isotopes exist because atoms can have different numbers of protons?

Isotopes can exist because atoms of the same element can have different numbers of neutrons, leading to variations in atomic mass. This results in isotopes having the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons, causing differences in stability and reactivity.


What are characteristic of isotopes?

Same number of protons, but different numbers of neutrons.


Do both isotopes have the same mass number?

An Isotope of an element is an atom that has the same number of protons, (number of protons is the defining feature of an element) but different number of neutrons.Because The mass number is the sum of protons and neutrons, different isotopes have different mass numbers.


What are elements with identical number for protons and different number of neutrons called?

The answer you are looking for is "isotopes" HOWEVER, please note you CAN NOT HAVE 2 elements with the same number of PROTONS. This is because the number of protons DEFINES an element. Isotopes are the SAME element but with differing numbers of neutrons.


What atoms containing the same numbers of protons and different numbers of neutrons are?

These atoms are called isotopes.


What does isotopes?

All atoms of an element contain the same number of electrons and protons but they can have different numbers of neutrons. Atoms with different numbers of neutrons are isotopes.
