What are atoms containing the same number of protons and different numbers of neutrons called?

Answer:

Isotopes

Isotopes are atoms of an element that have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons. They have similar chemical properties but different atomic masses.

Ions, on the other hand, are charged species of an atom that are formed by the gain or loss of electrons. Neutrons are subatomic particles found inside the nucleus of an atom, carrying no charge. Compounds, on the other hand, are substances formed when two or more atoms combine in a definite proportion, such as NaCl.
