The number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus.
To determine which atoms in a table are of the same element, you would look for atoms that have the same atomic number, as this identifies the element. Atoms of the same element will also have the same number of protons in their nucleus. If isotopes of an element are present, they will have the same atomic number but different mass numbers due to varying numbers of neutrons.
This is not possible. The number of protons identifies an element, and all of the atoms of the same element have the same number of protons. The atoms of an element can, however, have different numbers of neutrons, and they are called isotopes.
Atoms of the same element are alike in terms of their number of protons, which determines the element. However, atoms of the same element can differ in the number of neutrons they contain, leading to different isotopes of that element.
No. Atoms of the same element have the same chemical properties.
Atoms of the same Element have this.
All atoms with the same number of protons are atoms of the same element. The number of protons is the atomic number of the element.
Yes, all atoms of the same element have the same number of neutrons.
They would have to be atoms of the same element, and the same isotope of that element.
same number of each element
Atomic number, being a characteristic property (property that is diff. for each element), it identifies the element, For instance, Oxygen has an atomic number of 8, and it's the only one that has that atomic number, same with any other element, except that no other element has an atomic # of 8. No two elements can share an atomic number.

Atoms of the same element differ in the number of neutrons in their nuclei. All atoms of a given element have the same number of protons, of course. The number of protons in a nucleus determines which element the atom is. But the number of neutrons can vary, and these different "versions" of a given element are called isotopes of that element.
