No, they can't. Atoms (be careful of the difference between atoms and ions) can only have different numbers of neutrons, and those are called isotopes.
All atoms of an element contain the same number of electrons and protons but they can have different numbers of neutrons. Atoms with different numbers of neutrons are isotopes.
If two atoms are isotopes, it means they have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons. Thus, they have the same atomic numbers, but different atomic masses.
yes
Atoms of different elements are different because they have different numbers of protons in their nuclei. Protons carry a positive charge and determine the element's identity.
the two atoms belong to two different elements
These atoms are called isotopes.
Yes, atoms of different elements have a different number of protons.
Non-ionic and non-isotopic atoms (i.e normal, stable atoms) all have different numbers of protons and electrons.

Isotopes are atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons in their nuclei, resulting in different atomic masses. This is how there can be two different atoms of iridium.
Isotopes have different numbers of neutrons.
No. The atomic number of an element is determined by its number of protons. If two atoms have different numbers of protons, they have different atomic numbers and are different elements.
yes
