Atoms are made of a nucleus of protons and neutrons surrounded by a clout of electrons. The electrons are negatively charged and the protons are positively charged. In every atom the number of electrons equals the number of protons so that the atom is electrically neutral.
All elements are made up of atoms BUT the atom of each different element has a different number of Protons in its nucleus, for instance a Hydrogen atom has one proton and a helium atom has two protons.
The elements in the Periodic Table are arranged in accordance with the number of protons they have, this is called their 'atomic number'.

How does an atom differ from an element'?
hahaha funny
What is the smallest amount of an element?
The smallest part of an element that has the properties of that element is the atom.
5. How do isotopes differ from one another and from the element atoms on the periodic table?
Isotopes of one particular element (atom) only differ in mass and stability (decay), not in chemical properties.
What is the smallest part of an element that is still that element?
The smallest part of an element that still retains its properties is an atom.
Which is larger a atom or a element explain?
an atom is larger than an element
An isotope shares the atomic number with its element atom How does it differ from the element atom?
An isotope shares the atomic number with its element atom. How does it differ from the element atom?

What distinguishes an atom of one element from an atom of a differ?
The number of protons in the atomic nuclei.
How a proton differ from an element?
Element is made by atom. atoms included many protons,neutrons and electrons.
How do atoms differ from elements?
They are different words to describe the same thing. An atom is an element.
What is The atom of the same element that differ in the number of neutrons that have the same number of protons?
Isotopes.
What does it mean when the neutrons of an atom are all different?
The number of neutrons present in atoms of an element may differ. Atoms of an element which have different numbers of neutrons are called isotopes. These differ in mass but have the same chemistry.All of the neutrons in the nucleus of an atom are the same.
How does a negative ion differ from an uncharge atom of the same element?
the ion has a greater number of electrons
How do isotopes on an element differ from one antoher?
The difference is the number of neutrons contained in the atom's nucleus
Does an element have only one kind of atom?
Yes, while neutron count can differ and some properties.
Can an atom of oxygen be an isotope of an atom of nitrogen?
No. Nitrogen and oxygen are two different elements. The identity of an element is determined by the number of protons in the nucleus. A nitrogen atom has 7 protons while an oxygen atom has 8. Isotopes are variations of the atoms of a given element that differ in the number of neutrons in the nucleus.
