How are elements determind?
Elelments are determined by the amount of protons they have. While different elements can have the same number of neutrons and protons, no two different elements can have the same amount of protons.
Atoms of different elements always contain different number of what?
well of protons, STOP CHEATING IN WIKIANSWERS AND DO YOUR WORK
Why elements have different number of electrons?
In a neutral atom the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons; and the number of protons is the label of a chemical element.
How do you identify a compound or an element?
Elements are pretty much defined by the number of protons in the nucleus. This number (the atomic number) defines the element. All the different elements have different numbers of protons in their nucleus.
Atoms of two different elements cannot have the same?
Number of protons
Do atoms of different elements have a different number of protons?
Yes, atoms of different elements have a different number of protons.
Can to different elements contain the same number of protons?
No, the number of protons defines what element an atom belongs to. If two atoms are of different elements then they have different number of protons.
What do different elements have different numbers of?
Different elements have different numbers of protons. The number of protons identifies the element.

Can 2 different elements have the same number of protons?
No, the number of protons is what determines what element it is
Why atomic number of different elements are different?
Because different elements have different numbers of protons, which determines the atomic number.

No two different elements will have the?
No two different elements will have the same number of protons.
Do atoms of a different element have different numbers of protons?
Yes, atoms of different elements have a different number of protons.
What is the significance of the atomic number of an element?
All elements have protons and electrons. All but hydrogen have neutrons. All elements have isotopes which vary in neutrons but have the same amount of protons as the original element. Different elements never have the same amount of protons so scientists gave these elements their "atomic number" based on the amount of protons the element has. atomic number = amount of protons.
Do atoms of different elements have the same number of protons?
no
How is calcium different from the other elements?
its number of protons
