Atoms of the same element with a different number of neutrons
A
Ion
B
Gluons
C
Isotope
D
Quarks
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Atoms of the same element that differ in their numbers of neutrons are called isotopes. Many isotopes occur naturally. Usually one or two isotopes of an element are the most stable and common.

Detailed explanation-2: -Isotopes are atoms of the same element that have different numbers of neutrons but the same number of protons and electrons. The difference in the number of neutrons between the various isotopes of an element means that the various isotopes have different masses.

Detailed explanation-3: -Nuclei with the same number of protons but a different number of neutrons are called isobars. Nuclei with the same number of neutrons but a different atomic number are called isotopes.

Detailed explanation-4: -Hydrogen consists of two isotopes, protium (1H, a single proton) and deuterium (2H, a proton and a neutron).

Detailed explanation-5: -Atoms that have an equal number of protons but a different number of neutrons and protons are called isotopes.
