Are all atoms of a given element identical to one another and different from atoms of other elements?

No. Some may have different numbers of neutrons. Atoms of the same element (atoms with the same number of protons in the nucleus) may have different numbers of neutrons, and so will have different masses. As an example, chlorine is a mixture of different isotopes with some of the atoms having different neutrons numbers.

∙ 13y agoWe know that atoms of the same elements are chemically identical. But the individual atoms can vary as regards the number of neutrons they have. This gives rise to the idea of isotopes of a given element.

∙ 13y agoNo. Possible occurence of isomers which means elements with the same number of protons and electrons but different number of neutrons. All elements are different in terms of proton number but neutron and electron number may be the same due to ions or isomers.
Wiki User
∙ 11y agoNo, they are not. Atoms of the same element often occur in isotopes, which have the same number of protons but a different number of neutrons. The Atomic Mass number of an element is the weighted average of the masses of all known isotopes of an element.

∙ 11y agoNo- there are different isotopes (same number of electrons and protons as each other but differing numbers of neutrons
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoNo. Atoms of each element is different from atoms of other elements. For example, copper atoms and zinc atoms are different.

Why do different elements have different properties?
Elements have different properties because elements can be further divided than atoms and can be mixed by another element
When an element is combined to another element the substance is what?
When one element is combined with another element, a chemical compound results. The elements are chemically bonded together to make this compound.
Substance in which all atoms are alike?
A substance in which all atoms are identical is called an element.
What is an elment?
what is an elment elment is a substance made of one kind of atom.
How is a compound different from an element-?
A compound is different from an element in that a compound is made up of several elements. An element is a base atom only. Think of a compound as a living room set and an element as a couch only.
What isotopes of uncharded elements have different numbers?
The atomic number of the isotopes of an element is identical; the mass number is different.
Could two isotopes of an element have different number of protons?
yes, protons affect which element an atom is. Each isotope of different elements has generally a different number of neutrons. Isotopes with the same neutron number are called isotones.
What do all elements have in common?
All elements have a specific signature, whereby one element is exactly different from another element.
What is the same about isotopes of the same elements?
The isotopes of the same element have an identical number of protons and electrons; the number of neutrons is different.
Why do different elements have different properties?
Elements have different properties because elements can be further divided than atoms and can be mixed by another element
What was Dalton's four proposals or therories?
Elements are made of tiny particles called atomsAll atoms of a given element are identical (Proven wrong)The atoms of a given element are different from any other element (Not completely true)Atoms of one element can combine with atoms of another element to form chemical compounds
What are the subsets of a pure substance?
An element and compound. Element- A group of atoms with identical proton numbers, Compound- 2 or more DIFFERENT elements chemically held together.
Are beryllium atoms identical?
Each atom of an isotope of beryllium (or of another element) is different from the atoms of an other isotope. But all the atoms of an isotope are identical.
What makes element different from one another?
The atoms of each element have a number of protons that is unique to each element. The number of protons makes one atom different from another.
How are compound different from the elements that make them?
Simply put, an element is made up of identical atoms, and a compound is made up of non identical atoms. If I am wrong, blame my science teacher.
What do all the elements have in common?
All elements have a specific signature, whereby one element is exactly different from another element.
What are elements and what make them different from one another?
Elements are pure substances that cannot be broken down by chemical means. The atoms of each element have a number of protons that is unique to each element. The number of protons makes one atom different from another.
