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 same about all atoms of one elements?

They have the same number of protons.


Can carbon have 8 protons?

No, carbon can not have 8 protons. The number of protons in an element can not vary. Carbon can only have 6 protons (the atomic number). If an element has 8 protons, it is oxygen.


How many protons are in an atom of a pure element?

Each chemical element has a specific number of protons; the number of protons is equal to atomic number of the element.


What detemines the identit of an element?

The number of protons it has in the nucleus. Number of electrons and neutrons can vary but if the number of protons changes, you have a different element. Number of protons is a constant in an element which never changes.


What do atoms of the same given element share?

Atoms of a given element always have the same number of protons in their nucleus. Neutrons can vary (in different isotopes) and electrons can vary (in different ions) but protons are always the same for a given element. If the number of protons is changed, then you no longer have the same element.


What particles will always have a constant number in one particular element?

Protons remain constant for a specific element, as they determine the element's identity. Electrons can vary but generally match the number of protons for a neutral element. Neutrons can vary slightly within isotopes of an element.


Which of these can vary without changing the identity of an element number?

The mass number can vary without changing the identity of an element, as it represents the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus. Conversely, changing the number of protons would change the identity of the element, as it defines the element's atomic number.


Atoms of the same element always have the same number of what?

All atoms of a given element have the same number of protons in a nucleus. It is the number of protons in an atom's nucleus that determines the elemental identity of any atom. Period.


All atoms of a given element have exactly the same number of which type of subatomic particle?

Protons. All atoms of a given element have the same number of protons in their nucleus, which determines the element's identity.


How many protons neutrons and electrons are in elements?

The number of protons in an element is its atomic number, which determines its identity. Neutrons can vary for different isotopes of the same element. Electrons equal the number of protons in a neutral atom.


Does all the isotopes of an element have the same number of neutrons?

No, the number of neutrons vary, but protons and electrons are static among an element.


One isotope for a particular element is distinguished from another by the number of?

protons and neutrons in its nucleus. The number of protons determines the element, while the number of neutrons can vary to create different isotopes of that element.
