Are two atoms of different elements because they have close but different masses?
An element is made up of only one type of atom. Atoms are only different from each other due to their atomic number - which is the number of protons.
Different elements may have different relative atomic masses, but it is the differing number of protons in each atom that determines which element it is.

What has different atomic masses?
Different atoms and elements that have different number of protns, neutrons and electrons.Duh!
What do you call atoms of the same element with different atomic masses?
They are called isotopes. They have different mass nmbers because they have a different number of neutrons.
How are isotopes different than naturally occurring elements?
Isotopes are atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons, while naturally occurring elements refer to all atoms of a particular element found in nature. Isotopes have the same number of protons but different atomic masses, whereas naturally occurring elements have consistent atomic masses based on the average of all isotopes present.
Are all sample of elements are composed of atoms with same atomic mass?
No, different samples of an element can have varying atomic masses due to the presence of isotopes. Isotopes are atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons, leading to different atomic masses.
Do molecules and atoms have weight?
Atoms are matter, and all matter has mass. In that light, any (and every) atom has mass. Different atoms of different elements have different masses, as you would expect. As atomic numbers increase, the atomic mass of an atom increases, but we also need to account for the different isotopes of different elements. Isotopes are different "configurations" of the same element where there are different numbers of neutrons in the nucleus. This gives rise to different masses for different elements, and also for different isotopes of the elements. There is more to this discussion, and there are other questions here that are already posted and answered. Some of them are linked below.

Did john Dalton have a predictable mass on his atom?
Yes, John Dalton proposed the atomic theory which suggested that all elements are made up of atoms with predictable masses. He also predicted that atoms of different elements have different masses.

Where are elements form of two of the same atoms found on the periodic table?
Isotopes are the same atoms with different masses. Example is carbon-12 and carbon-14

How are atoms and elements similar and different?
Atoms are the building blocks of elements. Elements are made up of atoms of the same type. Both atoms and elements are fundamental in understanding the composition and behavior of matter.
