Most do. They are called isotopes. For a particular element the number of protons in the nucleus is the same, but there can be different numbers of neutrons. For example uranium235 and uranium238 where the number is called the mass number, which is the sum of the numbers of protons and neutrons in the nucleus. Isotopes of hydrogen are specially given individual names (hydrogen, deuterium, tritium) but they are all "chemically" hydrogen (protons=1, electrons=1).

∙ 13y agoElements are as simplified as you can get. They only contain one atom. There are no such things as elements containing more than one type of atom. Those are called compounds. For example a hydrocarbon is a compound containing carbon and hydrogen atoms only. Hydrocarbons CANNOT be elements because they can be simplified to two elements and two different atoms, hydrogen and carbon.
So - a short answer to your question - none. Hope i helped

What is it that contain two or more different types of atom?
All compounds contain more than one element and more than one atom.
Why does atom of different elements weigh differently?
Every element has a specific amount of protons and neutrons in its nuclues. If an atom has more protons and neutrons than another element, it is heavier.
What Elements contain only one type of atom?
By definition, an Element contains only one kind of atom - atoms of that element. If it has more than one kind, it is a compound, not an element.
When a chemical reaction occurs the chemical structures that contain more than one atom are?
isotopes
Are elements made up of only one atom?
NO.Never. Element is a substance made up of a single type of atom.It is the compound made up of different atoms shantanu satpute class 9
What is it that contain two or more different types of atom?
All compounds contain more than one element and more than one atom.
Does copper only contain one sort of atom?
Copper is an element. An element consists of one type of atom. If there is more than one type of atom it can be a mixture of elements, or it could be a compound or alloy, but not an element.
How are elements and compounds the different?
Elements contain only one type of atom (atoms with the same number of protons). Compounds contain more than one element, and thus contain atoms with different numbers of protons. Compounds can be converted into elements, but elements are not reducible to anything simpler (besides subatomic particles).
Why does atom of different elements weigh differently?
Every element has a specific amount of protons and neutrons in its nuclues. If an atom has more protons and neutrons than another element, it is heavier.
All molecules contain more than one .....?
atom.
Why do heavy elements neclei contain proportionally more neutrons than light element nuclei?
It is for this reason that large nuclei contain proportionally more neutrons than light elements
What Elements contain only one type of atom?
By definition, an Element contains only one kind of atom - atoms of that element. If it has more than one kind, it is a compound, not an element.
Does An isotope contain more protons than the standard atom?
No. (and there is no such thing as "the standard atom"). All isotopes of a given element contain the same number of protons.
Why is water a molecule rather than an atom?
Water is a molecule rather than an atom because it consists of more than one atom. In fact it consists of atoms of two different elements.
WHAT TYPE OF IONS ARE CHARGED SUBSTANCES THAT CONTAIN ONE MORE THAN ONE ATOM?
ions like sulphate ions,carbonate ions etc...are the ions which contain more than one atom.
What is a compound is made of?
more than one atom of different elementsdifferent elements chemically combined.
When a chemical reaction occurs the chemical structures that contain more than one atom are?
isotopes
