An atom of an element means a single unit of the element. An atom is the base unit for any element. There can only be one type of atom in every element.
For instance, a gold coin is made up of many, many gold atoms. "Gold" (Au) would be the element, while the "atom(s)" is the unit of the element.

What is an electron of an element?
It is the negatively charged part of an atom.
How is are element and an atom different?
An atom is an individual particle made of protons(positively charged particles), electrons(negatively charged particles) and neutrons(particles with no charge). The type of atom depends on the number of protons in the nucleus(the centre of the atom). An element is all atoms of the same type.
What is the positively charged atom that is released in the disinegration of a radioactive element?
it is called Neutron.
Are isotopes of an element charged particles?
No, that's an ion. An isotope is an atom of the same element with a different number of neutrons.
What produces a negatively charged ion?
An atom or molecule that gains an extra electron becomes a negatively charged ion. This can occur through various processes such as electron gain in chemical reactions or by gaining electrons from the environment.
Is element part of an atom?
Not quite. You can have an atom of an element, for example an atom of Hydrogen, but not a Hydrogen of an atom. The parts of an atom are protons (positively charged), neutrons (no charge), and electrons (negatively charged).
Is element part of atom?
Not quite. You can have an atom of an element, for example an atom of Hydrogen, but not a Hydrogen of an atom. The parts of an atom are protons (positively charged), neutrons (no charge), and electrons (negatively charged).
What element has 20 electrons when the atom is electrically charged?
Neon atom
How are an atom an element and an isotope different from each other?
An element is a class of substances An atom is the smallest possible piece of an element. An isotope is an electrically charged atom.
What is an electron of an element?
It is the negatively charged part of an atom.
What is a charged particle composed of only one element?
an atom
The likely location of the negatively charged particles in an atom is called a?
the negatively charged particle is an element
How is are element and an atom different?

What can be concluded if an ion of an element is smaller than an atom of the same element?
The ion is positively charged because it has fewer electrons than the atom.
What is the positively charged atom that is released in the disinegration of a radioactive element?
it is called Neutron.
What are charged atoms of elements that have a unique number of protons and electrons?
Each atom of an element has the same number of protons which is unique for that particular element ( = atom number in the periodic system)
Are isotopes of an element charged particles?
No, that's an ion. An isotope is an atom of the same element with a different number of neutrons.
