Generally speaking, elements differ from each other because they display different properties. These properties range from volatility to radioactivity and are determined by the element's atomic number. This number, displayed on the Periodic Table, indicates the number of protons found in the nucleus of one atom of the element. No two elements share an atomic number, so this is how elements are chemically differentiated.
