An element by definition refers to all atoms with the same number of protons; so any atom with 1 proton is the same element as all other atoms with one proton; which would be helium. And then, all atoms with 2 protons would be the same element; hydrogen. But the atoms that have 1 proton and the atoms that have 2 protons cannot be the same element.
An ion is an element with a different amount of electrons, where if it is a positive ion it is missing an election compared to a "normal" element and if it is a negative ion it would have an extra election compared to a "normal" element.
An isotope is a member of the same element but it has a different number of neutrons.

∙ 15y agoThere are several isotopes of a single element. Isotopes are atoms that have the same number of protons and electrons but differ in the number of neutrons contained in their nuclei.

What Elements contain only one type of atom?
By definition, an Element contains only one kind of atom - atoms of that element. If it has more than one kind, it is a compound, not an element.
If a mineral contains more than one element it is called a?
If a mineral contains more than one element it is called a
What is the difference between a compound and an atom?
A compound is made of 2 elements and an atom is made of 1.compound- made up of two or more elements. Still keeps the properties of the element.an atom is made up of one type of element ( can be more than one of this one specific element)
What is it that contain two or more different types of atom?
All compounds contain more than one element and more than one atom.
What is the difference between atoms elements compounds and molecules?
Element is a substance made up of only one kind of atoms. Compound r the substance which is made up of more than one or two kinds of atoms. For example-h2o(water) Molecule is a group of atoms which is made frm one or more than one kind of atoms.
What Elements contain only one type of atom?
By definition, an Element contains only one kind of atom - atoms of that element. If it has more than one kind, it is a compound, not an element.
Is there more than one atom used in element?
No, an element is 1 atom with a certain number of protons, neutrons, and electrons.
What is different between element and compound?
Element is a substance made up of only one atom that can not be split into two atoms and compound is a substance which contains two or more element chemically combined together.
Does copper only contain one sort of atom?
Copper is an element. An element consists of one type of atom. If there is more than one type of atom it can be a mixture of elements, or it could be a compound or alloy, but not an element.
Is it true an element is made up of more than one kind of atom?
An element contains only one type of atoms. the substance which is made of more than one type of atom is called COMPOUND.Read more: Is_an_element_made_out_of_more_than_one_type_of_atom
Do krypton have more than one atom?
No, krypton is a monoatomic element.
Why is element and compound is different?
An element is composed of only one kind of atom. A compound is composed of atoms of more than one element.
If a mineral contains more than one element it is called a?
If a mineral contains more than one element it is called a
Is baking soda considered a element?
No. Since it contains more than one type of atom, it is a compound, not an element.
What is the difference about an element and a compound?
Element's have only one atom, while compund's have more that one atom.
What is is NOT an element?
Something that isn't an element is a substance with more than one type of atom in. (e.g. a nickel atom and a silver atom). An substance that is an element has only on etype of atom in (e.g. only gold atoms, only iodine atoms).
A substance having atoms of more than one element that are combined chemically is called a?
atom
