Avogadro's number is a constant and is the same regardless of element.


What does each atom have a unique number?

Each element has a unique number of protons. If another atom has the same number of protons as that element, it is the same element.


How do two isotopes of an element same from another?

The number of protons and electrons is the same, the number of neutrons is different.


How may atoms of the same element differ from one another?

Atoms of the same element can differ from one another in their atomic mass, which is determined by the number of neutrons in the nucleus. These variations are called isotopes. Isotopes of the same element have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons.


The term element refers to atoms that have the same number of?

protons in the nucleus. This number is known as the atomic number and distinguishes one element from another. Elements are organized on the periodic table based on their atomic number.

What makes one element different from another atom based on atomic particles?

One element differs from another element by the number of protons in their atoms. The number of protons in the atom is known as the atomic number. Also one isotope of an element differs from another isotope of the same element by the number of neutrons in their atoms.


What are the two atoms that have th same number of proton called?

they are the same element because an element has an atomic number through its number of protons so if there was an element with 2 protons it would be number 2 in the periodic table which is helium, if another element has 2 protons it should be helium still, if it wasn't modified in anyway


Atomic number of an element is the same as the?

Atomic number of an element is same as the number of protons. It is same as number of electrons in neutral atom.


How many isotopes can there be in an element?

There is no specific number; each element has another number of natural and artificial isotopes.


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.
