∙ 14y agoAtoms of an element all have the same number of protons in their nuclei. The neutral atoms also have the same number of electrons in their electron shells and therefore react with the atoms of other elements to form compound molecules in a defined manner.
-------------------------------------------
All atoms in a particular element have same electronic configuration which is a characteristic for that element. Best way to understand this is to look at the Periodic Table which shows how all the elements are arranged in particular order.
-------------------------------------------------------------
All atoms of a given element will have the same number of protons. It is the number of protons that give an atom its elemental identity. Its atomic number is taken from the proton count. In the neutral atom, the number of electrons will equal the number of protons, but atoms can borrow or loan electrons and become ions. Additionally, the number of neutrons an atom of a given element can have can vary. We call these different variations in structure isotopes of that element. The only common thread in the atomic structure of an element is the number of protons in its nucleus. All the atoms of a given element will have the same number of protons. Always.

Why do atoms with the same number of valence of electrons have similar chemical properties?
Because atoms with the same number of valence electrons react in similar ways with other elements.
Atoms of elements in a group on the periodic table have similar chemical properties this similarity is most closely related to the atoms?
number of valence electrons
What is the unit of weight for elements?
Atoms are the basic units of elements.
According to Dalton's postulate how do atoms relate to elements?
Elements are formed from atoms.
What is the study of elements. atoms. and molecules called?
A chemist studies elements, atoms,and molecules
Why are atoms and elements alike?
Because the differences in atoms make different elements. Elements are multiple of similar atoms.
How are the electron clouds of the atoms of the elements in a group the same?
Atoms of the elements in a group have the same number of electrons in their outer energy shells. This gives the elements similar Chemical Propetries.
Do atoms of different elements have similar shapes?
Atoms of any element are usually considered to be spherical in shape.
Are there similar atoms on other planets?
Yes, as far as we know, the elements, composed of the same types of atoms, are the same everywhere.
Why do atoms with the same number of valence of electrons have similar chemical properties?
Because atoms with the same number of valence electrons react in similar ways with other elements.
Atoms of elements in a group on the periodic table have similar chemical properties this similarity is most closely related to the atoms?
number of valence electrons
How are atoms and elements similar and different?
they are alike because they all have mass ther diffrent because there lines, and isotpes
Are there any elements in glycerol that are not in carbohydrates?
There aren't any elements in glycerol that are not in carbohydrates. Glycerol has carbon, hydrogen and oxygen atoms, similar to that of carbohydrates.
How atoms in a group are similar?
Groups, in the periodic table of elements, are elements that all have the same number of valance electrons, which in turn tells us a lot about the kinds of chemical reactions that these elements will or will not undergo.
What is common to the atoms of different elements such that they behave similarly?
their internal structure makes them behave in a similar way.
How does the number of outer energy level electrons related to the properties of elements?
Elements whose atoms have the same number of outer electrons have similar properties..
How does the number of the outer energy level electrons relate to the properties of elements?
Elements whose atoms have the same number of outer electrons have similar properties..
