All protons are identical.
What is different between elements is the number of protons.

Do mass of proton vary for different elements?
The number of protons is different for each element, but the mass of each individual proton is always the same.
Is every atom in an element exactly the same?
No. Atoms of the same elements can have different numbers of neutrons.
Are atoms with the same atomic number atoms of the same element?
yes. Isotopes of an element have the same number of protons, thus electorns, thus the same chemical properties. Where isotpes differ is in the number of neutrons. Consider hydrogen, atomic number 1, atomic weight 1, 1 proton, 1 electron vs duterium, atomic number 1 atomic weight 2, 1 proton, 1 electron, 1 neutron. H2O = water D2O = heavy water
What element has one more proton than copper and is in same family?
zinc
An isotope differs from regular atoms of an element by having a different number of?
Neutrons. As an example, hydrogen has three isotopes, Hydrogen, Duterium and Tritium. Hydrogen atoms consist of one proton and one electron. Duterium atoms consist of one proton, one electron and one neutron. Tritium atoms consist of one proton, one electron and two neutrons.
What are atoms of the same element but have different sums of protons and neutrons?
The Proton number defines the element, so there cannot be two atoms of the same element with different proton numbers, because they will be, by definition, different elements. Neutron numbers can differ though. When one element has different neutron configurations, these are called Isotopes.
Do mass of proton vary for different elements?
The number of protons is different for each element, but the mass of each individual proton is always the same.
What is the proton for xenon?
A proton is a subatomic particle which is the same in whichever element it is found. A proton from a Xenon atom is no different to that from a Hydrogen atom or a Uranium atom.
Isotopes of the same element differ in the number of what-?
Only the neutron number is different, same proton and electron number.
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.
Can 2 isotopes of the same element differ in the number of neutrons?
YES. The very definition of isotopes are atoms of the same element with the same number of proton (same atomic number) but different numbers of neutrons, therefore different mass numbers.
Two isotopes of the same element have the same number of what?
They have the same number of protons and different number of neutrons.
What do two different neutral Isotopes have the same elements in common?
The proton and electron number are equal for all isotopes of the same specific element.
Is every atom in an element exactly the same?
No. Atoms of the same elements can have different numbers of neutrons.
What element is a proton?
A single proton (not part of a larger nucleus) is the same as a positive hydrogen ion.
Does atom of the same element have the same number of proton?
Yes that is true Every atom of a given element does have the same number of protons.
How can some elements have the same atomic number?
No two distinct elements have the same atomic number. The atomic number is the number of protons an element has and is what makes it that particular unique element. Isotopes do have the same atomic number however they belong to the same element because an isotope is just a form of the element with more or less neutrons in the nucleus, not a different element. An example would be Hydrogen, it has three Isotopes: Hydrogen-1 its nucleus is composes of just a single proton. Hydrogen-2 or deuterium has a proton and a neutron in its nucleus. Hydrogen-3 or tritium has a proton and two neutrons in its nucleus. Notice that they all have just one proton, this by definition makes them all hydrogen atoms, and considered to be the same element.
