Each element is different so for a certain element to be define/determined it has different atoms to make it up so no other element has the same atoms
The number of electrons and neutrons may differ for atoms of the same element. However, what distinguishes atoms of one element from those of a different element is the number of protons in the atom's nucleus. All of the atoms of an element have the same number of protons, which is the single most important determiner of the properties of an element.
daltons atomic postulations stated that: * Elements are made of tiny particles called atoms. * All atoms of a given element are identical. * The atoms of a given element are different from those of any other element; the atoms of different elements can be distinguished from one another by their respective relative weights. * Atoms of one element can combine with atoms of other elements to form chemical compounds; a given compound always has the same relative numbers of types of atoms. * Atoms cannot be created, divided into smaller particles, nor destroyed in the chemical process; a chemical reaction simply changes the way atoms are grouped together.
ATOMS AND ELEMENTSAfter reading this section you will be able to do the following:Define an atom.Define a Basic Element.All matter, such as solids, liquids and gases, is composed of atoms. Any material that is composed of only one type of atom is called a chemical element, a basic element, or just an element. An atom is the smallest particle of any element that still retains the characteristics of that element. A piece of an element that we are able to see or handle is made of many, many atoms and all atoms are the same...they all have the same number of protons. Protons and other subatomic particles will be discussed a little later. The atoms of different elements are different from each other because they have different numbers of protons. The graphic below illustrates this point by showing the atoms of two elements in the containers of oxygen and hydrogen.-----------The atoms in oxygen are identical to each other. The atoms in hydrogen are identical to each other. However, the atoms of oxygen are different from the atoms of hydrogen.Compounds, like water, are formed by combining the atoms of different elements together according to some chemical formula.
* All elements are made of tiny indivisible particles called atoms. * All atoms of a given element are alike but the atoms of one element differ from the atoms of every other element. * Atoms are not created, destroyed or converted into other kinds of atoms during chemical reactions. They are simply rearranged into new compounds. * Compounds result from the chemical combination of a specific ratio of atoms of different elements 10A who is asking this question

they are alike because they all have mass ther diffrent because there lines, and isotpes

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.
No. Some may have different numbers of neutrons. Atoms of the same element (atoms with the same number of protons in the nucleus) may have different numbers of neutrons, and so will have different masses. As an example, chlorine is a mixture of different isotopes with some of the atoms having different neutrons numbers.

Dalton predicted that the atom of any element are different from the atoms of all other elements.
It has a different amount of protons, nuetrons and electrons than any other element's atom.

The four points of Dalton's theory were: 1. All elements are composed of atoms. 2. All atoms of the same element have the same mass, and atom of different elements have different masses. 3. Compounds contain atoms of more than one element. 4. In a particular compound, atoms of different elements always combine in the same way.
Most elements have different types of atoms. These variations on an element's atoms are called isotopes and have different numbers of neutrons and thus different atomic masses. It is also possible to artificially create other isotopes of elements that do not exist "naturally," even for the few elements that normally have only one isotope (e.g. gold, arsenic, cobalt, aluminum, phosphorus).
Apart from the inert gases which are monoatomic all of the other elements bond to themselves and to atoms of other elements.
