Isotopes have a different number of neutrons but the number of protons and electrons is the same.
All isotopes of an element have the same number of protons, otherwise they would not be the same element. What varies is the number of neutrons, they can be more or less than in the stable isotope(s) of the element.
Isotopes must have the same atomic number, which is the number of protons. The atomic mass, which is the total number of protons and neutrons, varies for the different isotopes. so it should have different mass numbers..
Primarily, isotopes differ in the number of neutrons in the nucleus. Secondarily, because some combinations of protons and neutrons produce an unstable nucleus, they may differ by being radioactive.
Isotopes are atoms of the same element with the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons. An example is carbon-12 and carbon-14, which both have six protons but differ in the number of neutrons they possess.
Isotopes
No, isotopes of the same element have the same number of protons but differ in the number of neutrons. The number of protons in an atom determines its element identity, so isotopes of the same element will have the same number of protons.
Isotopes are elements that differ in the number of neutrons they have. Isotopes of an element have the same number of protons in their nuclei but different numbers of neutrons, resulting in varying atomic weights.

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 have a different number of neutrons but the number of protons and electrons is the same.
Isotopes of an element differ from each other in the number of neutrons in the nucleus. They have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons, leading to variations in atomic mass.
Atoms of the same element with different atomic masses are known as isotopes. Isotopes differ only by the number of neutrons present in the nucleus of the isotopes. The number of protons is the same for all isotopes of an element (because if there were different numbers of protons, then the atoms would not be of the same element).
