Yes, each element consists of only one type of atom in terms of atomic number, which is the number of protons in the nucleus. However, atoms of the same element can differ in mass number and are called isotopes. Mass number is the sum of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an isotope. The numbers of neutrons can vary, so the mass number can vary.

∙ 12y agoYes an element is one atom. Some elements consist of two or more of the same element when it appears in nature, ex. O2, H2. The elements differ because they have different amounts of electrons, protons and neutrons.

What does it means when a compounds chemical formula does not include any numbers?
It means that you have one atom of each element in the formula
Do many elements have the same type of atom?
By definition, an element is a substance with only one type of atom. So no, each element has its own type of atom.
An element is made up of only one kind of what?
Each element is made up of one kind of atom. Every element is made up of electrons (negative), protons (positive) and neutrons (neutral). Only protons and neutrons have mass. Electrons orbit the nucleus which contains protons and neutrons.

Does each electron consist of only one type of atom?
Electrons are smaller than atoms. There are electrons in atoms, but no atoms in electrons.
