How atoms of the same element can be different?

An element by definition refers to all atoms with the same number of protons; so any atom with 1 proton is the same element as all other atoms with one proton; which would be helium. And then, all atoms with 2 protons would be the same element; hydrogen. But the atoms that have 1 proton and the atoms that have 2 protons cannot be the same element.An ion is an element with a different amount of electrons, where if it is a positive ion it is missing an election compared to a "normal" element and if it is a negative ion it would have an extra election compared to a "normal" element.An isotope is a member of the same element but it has a different number of neutrons.
