Their atoms all contain protons and electrons. Hydrogen contains no neutrons, but it has a proton and an electron.
And they cannot be changed to a different thing by breaking molecules apart. If you have some table salt, you can dissolve it in water and use electrolysis to create chlorine, hydrogen and sodium hydroxide. (2 H2O + 2 NaCL = H2 + Cl2 + NaOH) But you cannot use anything found in an ordinary high school science lab to turn the chlorine atoms into any of the 16 elements that come before it on the Periodic Table.

What are the characteristics of an element?
There are both physical characteristics and chemical characteristics associated with each of the one hundred and some odd known elements. Each question is covered separately, and you'll find them linked below.To discover the characteristics of a given element, use the search window above to see what is posted for that element.-- Answers4Lyf added:An element is a substance made up of only one type of atom. It cannot be simplified any further; you can't split up an element. See periodictable.com for the elements discovered.
The smallest part of an element that retains the elements characteristics?
The atom is the smallest particle of an element that retains it's characteristics. Sub-atomic particles such as protons, neutrons and electrons form the atom and it is the amount of each of these sub-atomic particles that make the element that element.
How does the atomic number identify the atoms of a particular element?
The atomic number of an element is unique to that element. The atomic number is equal to the amount of electrons in one atom of that element. As each element categorically has it's own amount of electrons, you can identify an element from this number.
The Atomic number of an atom is?
No. Atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom. Each element has a unique atomic number that identifies it as that element.

What does each atom have a unique number?
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.
Why do elements repeat?

Does each element have a unique set of properties?
Yes, it is true.
Does each element have a unique atomic number?
Yes. The atomic number is the number of protons in the nuclei of an element's atoms, which is unique to each element and determines the element's identity.
