The number of protons in the nucleus of its atoms, which is its atomic number, defines each element. However, the nuclei of a given element may have varying numbers of neutrons.

In what way are atoms of one element different from atoms of other elements?
The number of electrons and neutrons may differ for atoms of the same element. However, what distinguishes atoms of one element from those of a different element is the number of protons in the atom's nucleus. All of the atoms of an element have the same number of protons, which is the single most important determiner of the properties of an element.
A substance that is formed from atoms with a characteristic set of physical and chemical properties is called what?
A substance that is formed from one type of atoms with a characteristic set of physical and chemical properties is called an element.
An object or number contained in a set?
Element
What is the difference between an atom and element?
Atoms are the building blocks of everything; they are made up of neutrons, protons, and electrons (and recently it has been discovered that these 3 things are made of quarks). Each atom is one piece on its own, floating around and attaching to other atoms.An element is a substance that is made up of only one type of atom. Once the atoms cling to each other they form different substances; if only one type of atom (which means that all atoms have the same number of electrons) is combined then it forms an element. If multiple different atoms cling together it forms other substances.Ex) When atoms with only 1 electron gather they form the element HydrogenWhen atoms with 8 electrons gather they form the element OxygenWhen 2 atoms with only 1 electron cling to one atom with 8 electrons, you end up with 2 Hydrogen atoms that have now mixed with 1 oxygen atom which forms the compound H2O or water; this compound (water) is no longer an element.
Is it true that each element has a unique set of lines on a spectrum?
Yes , every element has different line in the spectrum.

What exactly is a function in maths?
A rule to get (calculate) a number from another number. ans.A function is a relation in which each element of the 1st set,it corresponds to one and only one element in the 2nd set.
What do you call each object in a set?
An element of a set.
If a number is an element of the set of the rational numbers is it also an element of the set of integers?
No.
How many subsets are there in a set?
The number of subsets of a given set, including the set itself and the empty set, is 2n. Easiest way to see why: to make a particular subset, for each element in the original set you either chhose it or you don't. There are thus two possibilities for each element, so 2n possibilities for all n elements.
When two elements are chemically bonded why doesnt the number of particles change?
Because each set of atoms need each other to retain electron stability.
If a number is a element of the set or rational numbers is ig also an element of the set of integers?
That is not true.
What is an atomic fingerprint?
An atomic fingerprint is a unique set of lines that identifies each element. The lines act much as DNA in a human, they are exclusive to the particular element, and caused by the energy level of the element.
What is code of finding all subset in a set in c?
Each element of C can either be in a particular subset or not in it - two options for each element of C. So if there are n elements in C, then the number of subsets of C is 2n. These include the null set and C itself.
Is 1267343 and 1276343 a number set?
It is a number set with only one distinct element in it.
