No, they can't. Atoms (be careful of the difference between atoms and ions) can only have different numbers of neutrons, and those are called isotopes.

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.


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

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


What is the name given to atoms of the same element that have the same number of protons?

Atoms of the same element cannot have different numbers of protons. Different numbers of protons mean different elements. An atom with the a different number of neutrons is called an isotope.


Do some atoms have more or fewer protons than will other atoms of the same element?

No. The atomic number of an element is determined by its number of protons. If two atoms have different numbers of protons, they have different atomic numbers and are different elements.


Atoms of different elements are different because they have different numbers of what type of particle?

Atoms of different elements are different because they have different numbers of protons in their nuclei. Protons carry a positive charge and determine the element's identity.


Atom of an element with a different number of protons?

This is not possible. The number of protons identifies an element, and all of the atoms of the same element have the same number of protons. The atoms of an element can, however, have different numbers of neutrons, and they are called isotopes.


What do atoms from different elements have?

Atoms from different elements have different numbers of protons in their nucleus, which determines their unique chemical properties. They can also have different numbers of neutrons, leading to different isotopes of the same element. Additionally, atoms from different elements have varying numbers of electrons, which govern their reactivity and bonding behavior.


What atoms can be the same kind of element or different elements?

You think probable to isotopes; only the number of neutrons is different.


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.


Are the Isotopes are atoms of the same element with the same number of protons and?

The isotopes of an element have the same number of protons, but different numbers of neutrons.


True or false atoms of different elements have the same never of protons?

All atoms of the same element are the same.7) Isotopes are a family of atoms all of which have the same number of electrons, have the same number of protons in their atomic centers, but different numbers of neutrons.


What does isotopes?

All atoms of an element contain the same number of electrons and protons but they can have different numbers of neutrons. Atoms with different numbers of neutrons are isotopes.
