No. Each type of atom (element) has its own unique number of protons, which is called the atomic number. Atoms of the same element will always have the same atomic number (number of protons). Atoms of different elements will never have the same atomic number (number of protons).

What is the significance of the atomic number of an element?

All elements have protons and electrons. All but hydrogen have neutrons. All elements have isotopes which vary in neutrons but have the same amount of protons as the original element. Different elements never have the same amount of protons so scientists gave these elements their "atomic number" based on the amount of protons the element has. atomic number = amount of protons.


The atomic number of an element determines its?

The atomic number of an element determines the number of protons in its nucleus, which in turn determines its chemical identity. Elements with different atomic numbers have different properties due to their unique number of protons.


Which isotopes of uncharged elements have different numbers?

Isotopes of uncharged elements have the same number of protons (which determines the element), but different numbers of neutrons. For example, carbon-12 and carbon-14 are isotopes of carbon with different numbers of neutrons but the same number of protons.


Do all atoms have same number of protons?

All atoms of the same element have the same number of protons. Atoms of different elements have differing numbers of protons.


Can two elements have same atomic number?

No, two elements cannot have the same atomic number. The atomic number of an element is determined by the number of protons in its nucleus, which is unique to each element. Therefore, elements with different atomic numbers will have different numbers of protons and thus different chemical properties.

What do different elements have different numbers of?

Different elements have different numbers of protons. The number of protons identifies the element.


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.


Can to different elements contain the same number of protons?

No, the number of protons defines what element an atom belongs to. If two atoms are of different elements then they have different number of protons.


Can 2 different elements have the same number of protons?

Do atoms of a different element have different numbers of protons?

Yes, atoms of different elements have a different number of protons.


Can two different element have the same number of proton?

No, the number of protons determines the element. Each element has a unique number of protons in its nucleus, which is what defines its identity. If two elements had the same number of protons, they would be the same element.


Do elements differ in protons?

Yes, each element has a different number of protons.


Atom of a particular element has a unique and characteristic number of these particles?

Each element has a unique number of protons. If another atom has the same number of protons as that element, it is the same element.


What makes element different from one another?

The atoms of each element have a number of protons that is unique to each element. The number of protons makes one atom different from another.


Could two isotopes of an element have different number of protons?

yes, protons affect which element an atom is. Each isotope of different elements has generally a different number of neutrons. Isotopes with the same neutron number are called isotones.


What describes an atomic number of an element?

The atomic number of an element is the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom of that element. It determines the unique identity of an element and its position on the periodic table. Elements with the same atomic number belong to the same element, while elements with different atomic numbers are different elements.
