Science? question in comments

RhondaSommer (rhondasommer):

If two atoms have the same mass numbers but different atomic numbers, then they can be considered atoms of the same element. True False Im pretty sure it is true...but not one hundred percent...

This is Math

OpenStudy (kikuo):

I'm pretty sure this is false. I reread what you said. Isotopes are atoms of the same element because they have the same number of protons and electrons. However, they have a different mass number. Isotopes are identified by their mass number. If an atom doesn't have the same number of electrons and protons, it isn't an isotope, therefore it's not under the same element. I may be wrong, but I don't believe so.

RhondaSommer (rhondasommer):
