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.

∙ 14y agoAll atoms of an element have the same "atomic" number, which is the number of protons. They also usually have the same atomic weight, which is the number of protons plus the number of nuetrons (approximately). However, atoms of the same element can have a different number of neutrons. If the number of neutrons is not the standard number, it is an isotope. If the number of electrons is not the standard number, it is an ion. If the number of protons is not the standard number, it is a different element.

Is it true that all the atoms of a given element are different from each other?
No. All atoms of the same element have the same number of protons and, when neutral, the same number of electrons. They can, however, differ in the number of neutrons.
What does every atom in a particular element have in common?
They all have the same number of neutrons. All atoms of a given element have a specific number of protons. That is what gives an element its elemental identity. But we know that different atoms of a given element can have different numbers of neutrons. These different atoms of the same element are the isotopes of that element. All the atoms of a given isotope of a given element will have the same number of protons and will have the same number of neutrons. all isotopes of an atom have same number of proton but they have different number of neutron so they have same chemical properties and different physical properties. all isotopes of an atom have same number of proton but they have different number of neutron so they have same chemical properties and different physical properties.
Is it true that all particles are alike in elements?
No. All atoms of a given element are alike in the number of protons, which is the atomic number of an element. However, the number of neutrons in the nucleus can vary. Atoms of elements with the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons are called isotopes. All atoms of a given element in their ground state have the same number of electrons as they do protons, but if they form ions, the number of electrons will increase or decrease, depending on the element, but the number of protons remains the same.
Atoms of the same element always have the same number of what?
All atoms of a given element have the same number of protons in a nucleus. It is the number of protons in an atom's nucleus that determines the elemental identity of any atom. Period.
The term element refers to atoms that have the same number of?
Element refers to atoms that have the same number of Protons.
What do atoms of the same given element share?
Atoms of a given element always have the same number of protons in their nucleus. Neutrons can vary (in different isotopes) and electrons can vary (in different ions) but protons are always the same for a given element. If the number of protons is changed, then you no longer have the same element.
What is the number that the nuclei of all the atoms of a given element have?
The same number of protons, which is also the atomic number of the element.
Do the nuclei of all atoms of a given element always have the same number of neutrons?
No - different isotopes of an element have different numbers of neutrons. All atoms of an element will have the same number of protons.

What are Atoms with the same number of protons are?
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.
Do all the atoms have the same proton number?
In respect to different elements, no they don't, in respect to like atoms of one particular element, yes they do. The electrons are the particles that vary from like atoms of the same element. When the electrons and protons are uneven within an atom, you have a radioactive element.
What is needed for any given element?
An element is defined a "type of atom"; to be more precise, all the atoms in an element have the same number of protons (but not necessarily the same number of neutrons).
Isotopes are atoms that have the same number of protons but a different?
Isotopes are atoms of a given element that have the same number of protons but a different mass number and therefore a different number of neutrons.
Isotopes of a given element have what?
An isotope has same number of protons but a different number of neutrons as the original element in the atomic nucleus; it has the same atomic number as the element which isn't an isotope, but will have a different mass number. -atomic number
Is it true that all particles are alike in elements?
No. All atoms of a given element are alike in the number of protons, which is the atomic number of an element. However, the number of neutrons in the nucleus can vary. Atoms of elements with the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons are called isotopes.

Is it possible for atoms of the same element to have different chemical properties?
Atoms of the same element differ in the number of neutrons in their nuclei. All atoms of a given element have the same number of protons, of course. The number of protons in a nucleus determines which element the atom is. But the number of neutrons can vary, and these different "versions" of a given element are called isotopes of that element.
