No. Electrons have a -1 charge, protons a +1. Electrons are thousands of times smaller/lighter. Protons are found in the nucleus of the atom, electrons orbit around the outside.

Do all atoms with the same number of protons have the same name?

Yes, all atoms with the same number of protons will have the same name. The number of protons in an atomic nucleus is what we use to number the elements. Elements with the same number of protons are the same element, as the identity of an element is due solely to the number of protons in its nucleus.

Can atoms of different elements have the same number of protons be from the same element?

No. Each type of atom (element) has its own unique number of protons, which is called the atomic number. Atoms of the same element will always have the same atomic number (number of protons). Atoms of different elements will never have the same atomic number (number of protons).


What is the name given to atoms of the same element that have the same number of protons?

Atoms of the same element cannot have different numbers of protons. Different numbers of protons mean different elements. An atom with the a different number of neutrons is called an isotope.


What atoms of the same element contain the same number?

Atoms of the same element must contain the same number of protons. This is because of the positive charge they provide.


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.
