How may atoms of the same element differ from one another?
Atoms of the same element may differ from one another by having differing numbers of Neutrons in their centres.
How are atoms and elements differ from one another?
An element is a composition of many atoms. Thus you can hold NaCl (salt) in your hand. You can't hold the atoms it makes up.

Do atoms of the same element differ in chemical properties?
No. Atoms of the same element have the same chemical properties.
The measure of the number of atoms in one element that will combine with an atom of another element is?
These atoms are known as valence atoms.
Can atoms of radioactive element change into atoms of another element by emitting radiation?
Yes
What is the key difference that causes the atoms of one element to differ from the atoms of the other elements?
number of protons
Atoms of the same element that differ in number of neutrons?
isotopes
Neutral atoms of the same element can differ in their number of what?
Neutrons. If the differ in electrons they are not neutral and if they differ in protons then they are no longer the same element as the number of protons determines the name of the element.
Atoms of one element change in to atoms of another element during chemical reactions?
During chemical reactions atoms remain unchanged.
What are atoms of the same element but differ in number of neutrons?
They are called isotopes.
What atoms of the same element differ in the number of neutrons?
They are called isotopes.
