You think probable to isotopes; only the number of neutrons is different.

What are elements and how do they relate to compounds?
An element is a material that has only one kind of atom. For example- hydrogen is an element- it has only hydrogen atoms. Another element is oxygen- it has only oxygen atoms. But if we combine the two elements together, add a spark, we have a bang- and we now have a compound- water. Compounds are 2 or more elements that combine chemically.
What is the substance made up of atoms?
The atoms of an element are all identical.
How many types of atoms can be found in a in a single element?
A pure element contains one sort of atoms, and all the elements have the same number of protons (which define the element). But the atoms can have different masses, so called "isotopes" (see link). Thus, chemically there is only one kind of atoms in a pure element, but there can be several physically different kinds of nuclei in a pure element.
Why is each element unique and different from other elements with respect to its chemical properties?
An element is a substance that cannot be separated into different kinds of matter.If you could break down a sample of any element into its individual atoms,you would see that its atoms are all the same.Each element is made of only one kind of atom,and its atom differs from the atom of every other element. That difference is what makes the properties if each element unique.
What Elements contain only one type of atom?
By definition, an Element contains only one kind of atom - atoms of that element. If it has more than one kind, it is a compound, not an element.
Atoms of different elements are alike?
no. There is one element for each kind of atom.
What do atoms and element have in common?
Atoms are the smallest piece of matter you can get. Elements have only one kind of atom in it.
What are the differences in atoms in elements and compounds?
atoms in elements are one kind of atom where as atoms in compounds are different atoms example gold is a element and it is made up of only gold atoms and water is a compound and it is made up of hydrogen and oxygen atoms
Is elements atoms?
Elements are made of atoms. Each element is made up of the same kind of atoms, having the same atomic number.
What are the two elements of magnesium?
If you have pure magnesium, then the two atoms that compose the substance are going to be magnesium atoms. Magnesium is an element, a pure substance composed of all the atoms of the same kind. It is not to be confused with a compound which is made up of two or more atoms of different elements.
Is and atom and an element the samething?
No. Atoms are the building blocks of matter. Each element is composed of the same kind of atoms, according to their number of protons (atomic number). Molecules are composed of two or more atoms (they may be the same element or different elements), and compounds are composed of two or more kinds of atoms.
What are elements and how do they relate to compounds?
An element is a material that has only one kind of atom. For example- hydrogen is an element- it has only hydrogen atoms. Another element is oxygen- it has only oxygen atoms. But if we combine the two elements together, add a spark, we have a bang- and we now have a compound- water. Compounds are 2 or more elements that combine chemically.
How is a compound different from an element-?
A compound is different from an element in that a compound is made up of several elements. An element is a base atom only. Think of a compound as a living room set and an element as a couch only.
Different elements are made up of different kind of what?
i searched and it is atoms
Substance in which all atoms are alike?
A substance in which all atoms are identical is called an element.
What kind of element is a Atom?
An atom is not an element on its own. Think of it as a building block for every element in existence. Atoms are what make up the elements.
Is an element a substance made up of different kinds of atoms bonded together?
No it isn't. An element is one kind of atom, it is not made of different kinds of atoms.
