Elements are defined by the number of protons in the nucleus, and aren't considered to be different when you change the number of neutrons on the nucleus.  The opposite is true for atoms.  All elements and their isotopes, elements with different numbers of neutrons, are considered different types of atoms.

What description best describes both mirrors and lenses?
WITCHER [35]
Mirrors reflect light and lenses refract light.
Mirrors form images by reflecting all light that is incident on their surface, which allows us to see the reflections of objects in mirrors. Lenses, on the other hand, bend light and allow it to pass through them. The bending of light is used to form enlarged images, and for many other purposes as well.
