Question

Atoms of the same element but with different atomic masses are called _____. ions isotopes neutrons protons

Answer 1

Atoms of the same element but with different atomic masses are called isotopes. They possess a different atomic mass, due to the indifferent number of neutrons that the atoms of a given element have.

Answer 2

Answer is: isotopes.

Isotopes are chemical elements with same atomic number, but different mass number (different number of neutrons).  

For example, hydrogen (H), besides deuterium (mass number 2) and tritium (mass number 3), has isotope protium (mass number 1).

Atomic number is unique and defines an element. Isotopes of an element have same atomic number (same number of protons in nucleus).

Atomic number (Z) is total number of protons and mass number (A) is total number of protons and neutrons in a nucleus.

Atomic mass (A) is sum of protons and neutrons in an atom.
