The most common isotope of Hydrogen lacks a neutron in its nucleus. But there is an isotope, called deuterium, that has one neutron. Additionally, there is a hydrogen isotope that is artificially created that has two neutrons in its nucleus. It is called tritium. A link to the Wikipedia article on the isotopes of hydrogen is provided.
The first pair describes isotopes of the same element. Isotopes are atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons. In this case, both atoms have 6 protons but different numbers of neutrons.
The mass number of an atom indicates the total number of protons and neutrons in the atom's nucleus.
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.
Changing the number of neutrons in an atom does not change the element it belongs to because the element is determined by the number of protons in the nucleus. Changing the number of neutrons would result in an isotope of the same element, not a new element.
An atom of an element that differs in the number of neutrons compared with other atoms in the same element is called an isotope. Isotopes have the same number of protons and electrons but different numbers of neutrons, resulting in variations in atomic mass.
there are 61 neutrons in a the element silver
Yes. Atoms with a different number of neutrons are called isotopes of that atom, but a variation in the number of neutrons does not change what the atom is.
The element with 10 neutrons in a neutral atom is neon (atomic number 10).
The first pair describes isotopes of the same element. Isotopes are atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons. In this case, both atoms have 6 protons but different numbers of neutrons.
When an atom of an element has a different number of neutrons.
Not always. Some atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons are radioactive, whereas the other atoms are not.

The smallest unit that shows the properties of an element is an atom, and yes, an atom has protons and neutrons in the nucleus.
This atom is called isotope.
