Can atoms of two different elements have the same atomic number and could they have the same mass number?

The atomic number, or Proton number, defines which element it is. So by definition, two different elements must have a different atomic number, or else they'd be the same element.
Atomic Mass is the number of protons + neutrons in the element's nucleus. Since the number of neutrons in the nucleus can vary, even within a single element (as isotopes) it is possible to have one isotope of one element sharing an atomic mass with an isotope of another element.

Are all sample of elements are composed of atoms with same atomic mass?
All atoms in a pure sample of one element have the same mass. The atoms in a different element have a different mass. Different atoms is what makes different elements.
What has different atomic masses?
Different atoms and elements that have different number of protns, neutrons and electrons.Duh!
Are two atoms of different elements because they have close but different masses?
An element is made up of only one type of atom. Atoms are only different from each other due to their atomic number - which is the number of protons. Different elements may have different relative atomic masses, but it is the differing number of protons in each atom that determines which element it is.
Atoms of different elements are what?
Atoms of different elements have no specific relationship but if they have same no of neutrons then they are isotones, if they have same mass no then they are isobars, atomic no of two elements can neither be same.
What isotopes are atoms of the same elements with different number of?
Isotopes are atoms of the same elements with different number of neutrons.
A difference in the atomic number of atoms means the atoms are of same or diffierent elements?
Different atomic numbers represent different elements.
What do you know about two atoms if their atomic number are different?
the two atoms belong to two different elements
What makes atoms of different elements different from one another.?
The number of protons in the nuclei of their atoms. This is the atomic number of an element and each element has its own unique atomic number.
Can atoms of different elements have the same number of protons be from the same element?
No. Each type of atom (element) has its own unique number of protons, which is called the atomic number. Atoms of the same element will always have the same atomic number (number of protons). Atoms of different elements will never have the same atomic number (number of protons).
Are all sample of elements are composed of atoms with same atomic mass?
All atoms in a pure sample of one element have the same mass. The atoms in a different element have a different mass. Different atoms is what makes different elements.
What has different atomic masses?
Different atoms and elements that have different number of protns, neutrons and electrons.Duh!
Do some atoms have more or fewer protons than will other atoms of the same element?
No. The atomic number of an element is determined by its number of protons. If two atoms have different numbers of protons, they have different atomic numbers and are different elements.
Can i say that elements of the same atoms having same atomic number but different atomic mass as isotopes?
Yes, you may say that.
What does an elements atomic number?
The Atomic number tells you the number of protons in the nucleus of atoms of that element.
What is calcium carbonates atomic number?
It is a compound. Only atoms have atomic number. Elements have their own atomic number.
Are elements different from other elements?
Yes, elements all have a different amount of protons in their atoms (number of protons = atomic number), but some elements have similar properties. For instance, the alkali metals all react in water, getting more violent as the atomic number gets higher.
Every element has its own atomic number the atomic number is the number of what?
the atomic number represents the number of protons in an elements atoms
