Atoms and elements can vary in many ways. Atoms mainly vary by having different numbers of protons, electrons, and neutrons. The count of protons makes up an elements mass number.

Do atoms slowly separate while heated?
Quite possible, though the temperature at which the atoms separate will vary for different atoms.
Can the mass of an atoms of a particular element vary?
No it cannot.
When can atoms of the same element vary in the number of?
Neutrons in their nuclei.
How are atoms different than elements?
An atom is a general term. Elements are specific kinds of atoms that vary by the number of protons they have.
How many atoms are in the molecule and compound?
That depends on the compound and can vary from two to trillions.
What do element and mixture have in common?
The commonalities that elements, compounds, and mixtures all have in common is that they all contain atoms. Even though they all contain atoms, the number of atoms vary in each of them.
Why is the density of an object different than the density of water?
Individual atoms may be heavier or lighter. Also, the spacing between atoms may vary.
How many atoms are in a covalent compound?
It can vary widely. A covalent compound can contain a few as 2 atoms (such as carbon monoxide), or as many as several billion, such as DNA.
Why canal rays depend on the nature of gas used in tube?
b/c different types of atoms have diffeernt types of protons.nature of protons vary for different atoms.
What are all elements are mixtures of?
An element is composed of atoms all with the same proton number(they are the same type). The only way the atoms in an element can vary is in the number of neutrons they have.
Can neutral atoms of the same element differ in neutrons?
They can vary in neutron count, which would also change the atomic mass.
Do protons of an element vary?
All atoms of the same element have the same number of protons. Atoms of different elements have different numbers of protons. The number of protons determines the element.
