Chemically, all atoms of the same element are identical in their properties. However, atoms of the same element come in different isotopes, different numbers of particles in the nucleus, and this difference makes for different properties in terms of radiation emission and stability, and to slightly different masses which permit the different isotopes to be separated.

A wonderful assumption but we don't really know. Bodies appeared as identical until we discovered fingerprints and DNA. Regretfully, science has stopped looking. But eventually we'll find atoms are as unique as snowflakes, grains of sand or galaxies.

Steel is an alloy, meaning a combination of metals. Stainless steal is a combination of Fe, Cr, C, and Ni.

Surgical steel is Fe, Cr, Ni, and Mo.

Surgical steel wouldn't be the same as Stainless steel, because it would have different elements inside.

Alloys, unlike minerals, do not have a fixed composition. One melt of brass will differ from another. Even within a melt, samples taken early will differ from those taken later.

What is the difference between the properties of a substance and the properties of an object?

The properties of a substance are inherent in that substance, for example steel, but steel can be used to make all sorts of different objects. Each object has its own properties, but the basic property of steel is the same in all of them (for the same grade of steel)

Why does both isotopes of phosphorus have identical chemical properties?

All isotopes of a substance are chemically the same. It is their physical properties which are different.


Why are all elements all different?

They all have different amounts of protons in the nucleus, different properties, and no two things can be identical.

What are two properties of a regular polygon?

A regular polygon has sides of equal lengths and all angles are identical.


Are atom properties determined by the size of the valence electrons?

Valence electrons are very important for the chemical properties of chemical elements; but all electrons have identical sizes.


Is stainless steel has thermal property?

All matter has thermal properties, so yes.


Why do isotopes of an element have the same chemical properties?

Chemical reactions involve electrons - not protons or neutrons. All isotopes of the same element have an identical number of electrons (just the number of neutrons differs) and hence the chemical properties are identical/very similar.
