Is it true that atoms of the same element have the same number of protons?

Yes, they're the same element, if that is the point of the question. The number of protons (and only that) determines what element the atom will be. Neutron and electron numbers can vary without changing the identity of the element.

∙ 13y agoNo, by definition two atoms with the same number of protons are the same element.
The number of protons determines which element an atom is.
Wiki User
∙ 12y agoYes, all the isotopes of an element have the same number of protons and the same atomic number. However the number of neutrons might differ, hence their mass might differ as well.
Wiki User
∙ 11y agoNo. Atoms of different elements always have a different number of protons. The number of protons defines what the element is.
Wiki User
∙ 15y agoNo they cannot. Atoms are defined by the number of protons. If an atom has three protons, it can only be lithium. If the number of protons changes, then the element changes also.
Wiki User
∙ 10y agoOf course not,type of element depend upon number of protons.Only atoms of same elements have similar number of elements.

The term element refers to atoms that have the same number of?
Element refers to atoms that have the same number of Protons.
What are charged atoms of elements that have a unique number of protons and electrons?
Each atom of an element has the same number of protons which is unique for that particular element ( = atom number in the periodic system)
What must atoms of the same element have?
All atoms of the same element have the same number of protons, which is its atomic number. A neutral atom will have the same number of electrons as protons.
For a given element all atoms of that element have the same number of?
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.
Are the Isotopes are atoms of the same element with the same number of protons and?
The isotopes of an element have the same number of protons, but different numbers of neutrons.
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.
The term element refers to atoms that have the same number of?
Element refers to atoms that have the same number of Protons.
Do protons of an element vary?
All atoms of the same element have the same number of protons. Atoms of different elements have different numbers of protons. The number of protons determines the element.
Are two atoms that have the same number of protons the same element?
Yes. The number of protons defines the element.
Are atoms of the same element that have the same number of protons but have different number of neutrons?
Isotopes are atoms of the same element, having the same number of protons but different number of neutrons.
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).
What are charged atoms of elements that have a unique number of protons and electrons?
Each atom of an element has the same number of protons which is unique for that particular element ( = atom number in the periodic system)
If two elements have the same number of protons but different number of neutrons can they be atoms of the same element.?
Yes. If two atoms have the same number of protons then by definition they are the same element.
What must atoms of the same element have?
All atoms of the same element have the same number of protons, which is its atomic number. A neutral atom will have the same number of electrons as protons.
Will atoms of a particular element have the same numbers of protons?
Yes, and the number of protons in the atoms of an element is that element's atomic number on the periodic table.
Atom of an element with a different number of protons?
This is not possible. The number of protons identifies an element, and all of the atoms of the same element have the same number of protons. The atoms of an element can, however, have different numbers of neutrons, and they are called isotopes.
What atoms of the same element contain the same number?
Atoms of the same element must contain the same number of protons. This is because of the positive charge they provide.
