Neutrons.
All atoms in a pure sample of one element have the same mass. The atoms in a different element have a different mass. Different atoms is what makes different elements.
They have different numbers of electrons, protons and neutrons. These small differences can change the element dramatically.
The number of electrons and neutrons may differ for atoms of the same element. However, what distinguishes atoms of one element from those of a different element is the number of protons in the atom's nucleus. All of the atoms of an element have the same number of protons, which is the single most important determiner of the properties of an element.
The ancient Greek philosophers had talked about atoms, but Dalton's theory was different in that it had the weight of careful chemical measurements behind it. It wasn't just a philosophical statement that there are atoms because there must be atoms. His atomic theory had these fundamental points :Elements consist of tiny particles called atoms.Elements are pure because all atoms of an element are identical and that in particular they have the same mass.Elements differ from one another because atoms of each element are different from one another; in particular, they have different masses.Compounds consist of atoms of different elements combined together. Compounds are pure substances (remember they cannot be separated into elements by phase changes) because the atoms of the different elements are bonded to one another somehow, perhaps by hooks, and are not easily separated from one another.Compounds have constant composition because they contain a fixed ratio of atoms and each atom has its own characteristic weight, thus fixing the weight ratio of one element to the other.Chemical reactions involved the rearrangement of combinations of the atoms in a substance.Dalton's Atomic Theory had several main points, which are variously grouped into five statements :1) All matter is made of atoms.2) Atoms of a given element are identical in size, mass and chemical properties.3) Atoms of different elements have different masses and properties.4) Compounds are formed by a combination of two or more different kinds of atoms. The elements combine in simple, whole-number ratios.5) Atoms cannot be subdivided, created, or destroyed, but merely rearranged in their compounds with other elements. They can be combined, separated, or changed in the way in which they are arranged.
No, all Atoms are totally different from one another.
The basic building block of all compounds is atoms. Compounds contain atoms of at least two different elements bonded to one another. Thus, atoms of elements are what form compounds.

different atoms have different numbers of protons. it also helps to establish the charge on certain atoms.
All atoms in a pure sample of one element have the same mass. The atoms in a different element have a different mass. Different atoms is what makes different elements.
The atoms of each element have a number of protons that is unique to each element. The number of protons makes one atom different from another.
It depends, my understanding is that generally the arrangement of the atoms and their interactions with one another as well as the energy levels of those atoms is what distinguishes the different states of matter from one another.
No atom has the same number of protons as another atom, unless both atoms are atoms of the same chemical element.
The number of protons in the nuclei of their atoms. This is the atomic number of an element and each element has its own unique atomic number.
The atoms of each element have a number of protons that is unique to each element. The number of protons makes one atom different from another.
Atoms interact with one another by combining chemically or by binding together. When two or more atoms combine chemically, molecules are formed. When two or more different atoms bind together to form a molecule, this is referred to as a compound.
