No, there is a huge amount of variety, among the more than 100 elements, 300 isotopes, and the various ionic states in compounds.

Atoms of different elements have different numbers of protons and electrons and therefore different chemical properties. Atoms of the same element can have different numbers of neutrons, and therefore different atomic masses. Such atoms are called isotopes. Some are stable and some are radioactive.

However, for a given isotope, of a given element, with a given ionization, the atoms of the isotope are identical and indistinguishable.

How did Delton describe the relationship between atoms and elements?

Dalton believed that there was a different atom for each element that there was, and that these atoms made up the elements that were in existence. He did not say exactly how these atoms were different, just that they were different. Dalton also believed that all of the atoms for a given element were exactly alike in every way.


How are protons and neutrons alike?

Neutrons and protons are alike because when the electrons orbit around an atom, they are both in the center of the atom, or in the nucleus!!!

Is every atom in the world is exactly the same?

"No. There are just over 100 different types of atoms that can currently be found or made." wrong... atom is unique. atom is the smallest thing u can ever get to . this is occupied in all substances in the world.


WHERE IS A proton exactly found?

Protons are found in the nucleus of every atom. The number of protons determines what element it is; for example, atoms with 6 protons are carbon atoms, while an atom with 8 protons is an oxygen atom.


What determines the number of protons in one atom?

The number of protons in an atom is determined by its atomic number, which is unique to each element. The atomic number represents the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom. It is the key characteristic that defines the identity of an element.


Give you a sentence using the word proton?

A proton is one of the particles in an atom. An example sentence would be: The scientist realized he was looking at the wrong proton.


Are Atoms of different elements exactly alike?

No. An atom is made of a nucleus composed of neutral Neutrons and positively charged Protons, surrounded by negatively charged electrons. The numbers of protons, neutrons, and electrons in the atom varies depending on the element. Hydrogen, for example, has only one electron. Carbon has 6.
