∙ 11y agoAtoms differ in element when they have different numbers of protons.
For example, lithium has 3 protons, but if you added another proton, it would become beryllium. If you look at the periodic table, you can see lithium is element number 3, and beryllium is number 4. That's because the atomic number is equal to the amount of protons in the atom.
An element is a substance consisting of atoms with the same number of protons.

What substance that contains only one kind of atom?
element
Why is iodine considered a trace element in seawater?
A trace element is considered is a specific element that contains less than 100 parts per million in a sample. In this case, the sample is seawater. According to my understanding, the presence of iodine is very limited in seawater. There is only 0.05 parts per million of iodine in seawater. As such, iodine is considered a trace element in seawater.

What Elements contain only one type of atom?
By definition, an Element contains only one kind of atom - atoms of that element. If it has more than one kind, it is a compound, not an element.

What is a sample of matter that is either a single element or single compound?
Not very much matter is made up of only one kind of atom. Graphite in pencil leads is a popular one, but most matter is made up of several kinds of atoms.

No element contains any kind of bond except a metallic one. Ionic bonds can occur only between at least two different elements.
What Metals are in aluminum?
