In respect to different elements, no they don't, in respect to like atoms of one particular element, yes they do. The electrons are the particles that vary from like atoms of the same element. When the electrons and protons are uneven within an atom, you have a radioactive element.

Why are protons and neutrons used in the subatomic particle?
Protons and neutrons provide the mass of an atom. Each different kind of element has a unique number of protons. For example: all hydrogen atoms have one proton. However, not all hydrogen atoms have the same mass. Some hydrogen atoms have no neutrons, one neutron, or two neutrons. Atoms of the same element (one proton) but different numbers of neutrons (different masses) are called isotopes of that element. All elements have isotopes. Some isotopes of elements are radioactive and are useful in medicine and energy applications (nuclear, for instance).
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.
How many number of protons in helium?
H2O has 10 protons. Hydrogen has 1 proton, so 2 hydrogen have 2 protons. Oxygen has 8 protons.
Which element has negative charged proton?
All protons have a positive charge. The antimatter equivelant to the proton, the antiproton, has a negative charge. Every element of matter (hydrogen, helium, etc.) has an equivalent antimatter element (antihydrogen, antihelium, etc.) and just as every element of matter has a proton in its the nucleus (which, again, is positively charged), every corresponding anti-element has an anti-proton in its nucleus (which is negatively charged). There are also theoretical "hybrid" elements (called exotic elements of atoms) consisting of both matter an antimatter components, such as a proton and antiproton orbitting each other (this is called Protonium).
How many electrons does Li-7 have?
3: The total number of electrons in any neutral atom is always the same as the atomic number of the element.
What do all atoms of a certain element have the same number of?
Proton Number
What are all elements are mixtures of?
An element is composed of atoms all with the same proton number(they are the same type). The only way the atoms in an element can vary is in the number of neutrons they have.
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.
All atoms of an element have the same number of neutrons?
Wrong! For example we take on hydrogen atom which has 1 proton in his nucleus and one electron 'gravitating'(gravitating is not an appropriate word because of the quantum origin of all elementary particles, as they can be expressed both either parcitle if they are observed, or a wave) In nature there is a "heavy" atom of hydrogen which is called deuterium. It has 1 proton and 1 neutron in its nucleus. There are 3 types of hydrogen atoms known. The pattern is the same for almost all elements.
Is a Proton of one element exactly the same as the Proton of a different element?
All protons are identical. What is different between elements is the number of protons.
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 Atomic particle controls its reactivity?
The number of protons in the nucleus will ALWAYS be the same for a specific element.(ex: Hydrogen always has EXACTLY 1 proton)But, the number of electons and neutrons can vary in a particular element.
Why do all atoms have the same number of protons?
All atoms don't have the same number of Protons.
What does every atom in a particular element have in common?
They all have the same number of neutrons. All atoms of a given element have a specific number of protons. That is what gives an element its elemental identity. But we know that different atoms of a given element can have different numbers of neutrons. These different atoms of the same element are the isotopes of that element. All the atoms of a given isotope of a given element will have the same number of protons and will have the same number of neutrons. all isotopes of an atom have same number of proton but they have different number of neutron so they have same chemical properties and different physical properties. all isotopes of an atom have same number of proton but they have different number of neutron so they have same chemical properties and different physical properties.
Is the Mass of hydrogen atom is about the same as a proton?
Yes, in general. All hydrogen atoms contain one proton, most with no neutrons and all neutral atoms with one electron - and the electron has a much smaller mass. Some hydrogen atoms contain one (or, rarely, two) neutrons and so are heavier. But on average the atom has a mass much the same as a proton.
Atoms of different elements have different number of protons true or false?
No atom has the same number of protons as another atom, unless both atoms are atoms of the same chemical element.
What are Atoms with the same number of protons are?
All atoms with the same number of protons are atoms of the same element. The number of protons is the atomic number of the element.
