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 of an element have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons. This leads to variances in atomic mass among isotopes of the same element.
Isotopes are atoms of the same element that have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons. Isomers are molecules with the same chemical formula but different arrangements of atoms. Ions are atoms or molecules that have gained or lost electrons, resulting in a net positive or negative charge.
When an alpha particle is emitted, the nucleus of the original element loses two protons and two neutrons, transforming into a new element. This process is a type of radioactive decay that helps the nucleus become more stable.
An ion is an element that has lost or gained electrons, "cation - positive charge", "anion - negative charge". Gaining a charge causes the element to be more or less reactive. An isotope is an element that has lost or gained neutrons. Losing or gaining neutrons does not effect the overall charge, but it does affect the elements stability.

the average amount of neutrons in chlorine is 18, but there could be more or less with the different isotopes
The number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom determines its mass. Elements with more protons and neutrons are more massive. Additionally, the mass of an element can be influenced by the presence of isotopes, which have varying numbers of neutrons.

Isomers are molecules with the same chemical formula but different arrangements of atoms.

Number of protons in in an element denote the type of element. So you identify element on the number of protons in it. Protons being positively charged can not sit together in a nucleus. They will repel each other. So you do not have an element in which only 2 or more protons and no neutrons are there.It means neutrons act as binding material in an element. So usually equal or more neutrons are there in an element. If same number of neutrons are there in nucleus but different number of protons, then it is no more a same but different element. An element in which different number of neutrons are there are called as Isotope. All element have got one or more Isotopes. So there 'physical' properties would differ but not 'chemical' property.
An atom of a certain element with a different number of neutrons compared with the common form of the element is called an isotope. Isotopes have the same number of protons and electrons in an atom, but a different number of neutrons (which means that they have a different atomic mass number).

The number of neutrons in the nucleus of an atom of any isotope of an element is equal to the "atomic mass number", which is usually stated in a number immediately after a hyphen at the end of the element name in the name of the isotope, minus the atomic number. Because most elements have more than one stable isotope, the average number of neutrons in the mixture of isotopes of an element that occurs naturally is usually not an integer.
Not always. Some atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons are radioactive, whereas the other atoms are not.
Two elements can have the same atomic mass if one has more or less neutrons than protons in the nucleus. These are called isotopes. not much to im prov thank you
