Answer: ISOTOPES

Step-by-step explanation:

isotopes are different types of the same element, this could be because they have an extra neutron, for example.

however, this does not apply to atoms that lose or gain electrons.

for example, Hydrogen has an isotope called Deuterium (or Hydrogen-2) and Tritium (Hydrogen-3).
