A specific number of either protons or electrons is a characteristic of atoms of a particular element.
Proton Number
The number of atoms in an element depends on WHAT element AND how much of that element.
All atoms with the same number of protons are atoms of the same element. The number of protons is the atomic number of the element.
The number of protons is identical in all atoms of an element.
same number of each element
Atoms of the same element are alike in terms of their number of protons, which determines the element. However, atoms of the same element can differ in the number of neutrons they contain, leading to different isotopes of that element.
The atomic number is the number of protons in atoms of an element
Yes, and the number of protons in the atoms of an element is that element's atomic number on the periodic table.
The identity of every element is given by the number of protons in the nucleus. To keep electrical neutrality, they also have the same number of electrons.See the Related Questions for more information about protons, neutrons, and electrons in atoms.
Yes, the number of protons in an atom of an element determines the element's identity. It determines the element's atomic number, which is unique for each element.
They are called isotopes,
All atoms of the same element are not identical. The atoms of same element with different number of neutrons are called as isotopes. Although, the number of protons and electrons are same in every atom.
