The specific terms atoms and elements are related in The Atomic Number.

The Element that an Atom belongs to is determined by the number of Protons that are contained within Its atomic nucleus.

The varying number of neutrons [for any given number of protons] that are needed to keep the atomic nucleus held together is what results in the varying Atomic Weight when compared to the Atomic Number.

What Atoms of the same element are alike and?

Atoms of the same element are alike in terms of their number of protons, which determines the element. However, atoms of the same element can differ in the number of neutrons they contain, leading to different isotopes of that element.


Atoms of the same element that differ in number of neutrons?

isotopes


Is it true that all the atoms of a given element are different from each other?

No. All atoms of the same element have the same number of protons and, when neutral, the same number of electrons. They can, however, differ in the number of neutrons.


What is atoms of the same element that differ in the number of neutrons but have the same number of protons?

Isotopes.


Neutral atoms of the same element can differ in their number of what?

Neutrons. If the differ in electrons they are not neutral and if they differ in protons then they are no longer the same element as the number of protons determines the name of the element.

All Atoms Of An Element Are Exactly?

All atoms of the same element are not identical. The atoms of same element with different number of neutrons are called as isotopes. Although, the number of protons and electrons are same in every atom.


How may atoms of the same element differ from one another?

Atoms of the same element can differ from one another in their atomic mass, which is determined by the number of neutrons in the nucleus. These variations are called isotopes. Isotopes of the same element have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons.


Elements that differ in mass number are?

Such atoms are isotopes and belong to the same element.


Can atoms of the same element differ in atomic number?

no. elements are defined by their atomic number (the number of protons).
