Yes, and the number of protons in the atoms of an element is that element's atomic number on the Periodic Table.

Do protons of an element vary?

All atoms of the same element have the same number of protons. Atoms of different elements have different numbers of protons. The number of protons determines the element.


What is the name given to atoms of the same element that have the same number of protons?

Atoms of the same element cannot have different numbers of protons. Different numbers of protons mean different elements. An atom with the a different number of neutrons is called an isotope.


What is the definition of isortopes?

Isotopesare variants of atoms of a particular chemical element, which have differing numbers of neutrons. Atoms of a particular element by definition must contain the same number of protons but may have a distinct number of neutrons which differs from atom to atom, without changing the designation of the atom as a particular element.


Do some atoms have more or fewer protons than will other atoms of the same element?

No. The atomic number of an element is determined by its number of protons. If two atoms have different numbers of protons, they have different atomic numbers and are different elements.


Atoms of an element have a certain number of?

A specific number of either protons or electrons is a characteristic of atoms of a particular element.


Do atoms of a different element have different numbers of protons?

Yes, atoms of different elements have a different number of protons.


Atom of an element with a different number of protons?

This is not possible. The number of protons identifies an element, and all of the atoms of the same element have the same number of protons. The atoms of an element can, however, have different numbers of neutrons, and they are called isotopes.


What is an element is determined by the number of?

The identity of an element is determined by the number of protons in the nuclei of its atoms. This is the atomic number of an element.


Atoms of different elements are different because they have different numbers of what type of particle?

Atoms of different elements are different because they have different numbers of protons in their nuclei. Protons carry a positive charge and determine the element's identity.


What best describes all atoms of a particular element?

They have the same number of protons


What tells you the number of Atoms in of an element?

It is about the atomic numbers. The total of protons.


What's the difference between an atomic number in the mass number of an Atom?

All the atoms of a particular element have the same atomic number (number of protons). The atoms of different elements have different numbers of protons. For example, all oxygen atoms have 8 protons and all sodium atoms have 11 protons. The mass number of an atom is the total number of protons and neutrons it contains.
