They are not! The whole point about atoms of an individual element is that they are all essentially the same. There may be a small number of varieties - isotope - in which the number of neutrons varies, but that is the only difference.

Are beryllium atoms identical?

Each atom of an isotope of beryllium (or of another element) is different from the atoms of an other isotope. But all the atoms of an isotope are identical.


Are the atoms the same or different in hydrogen?

All hydrogen atoms are the same but they are different from the atoms of other elements.


Is it true that all the atoms of one pure substance are the same but are different from the atoms of another pure substance?

Yes, it is true that all the atoms of a pure substance are identical in terms of the number of protons, electrons, and neutrons, which defines the element. However, atoms of different pure substances are distinct from each other in their atomic structure and properties, such as the number of protons, which determines the type of element. For example, all oxygen atoms are the same, but they differ from all carbon atoms. This fundamental difference is what gives each element its unique characteristics.


Are oxygen atoms different to oxygen atoms?

No, oxygen atoms are all the same. Each oxygen atom has 8 protons in its nucleus and is chemically identical to every other oxygen atom.

Are hydrogen atoms in water molecules identical to all other hydrogen atoms?

Yes, hydrogen atoms in water molecules are identical to each other in terms of their chemical properties and behavior. However, due to their location in the molecule, they may have slightly different electronic environments.


Why is it impossible to slide solid objects through each other given that atoms are mostly empty space?

The electromagnetic field surrounding each atom repels all other atoms.


Are all atoms of a given element identical to one another and different from atoms of other elements?

No. Some may have different numbers of neutrons. Atoms of the same element (atoms with the same number of protons in the nucleus) may have different numbers of neutrons, and so will have different masses. As an example, chlorine is a mixture of different isotopes with some of the atoms having different neutrons numbers.


Why are the properties of different compounds so different from each other?

because not all elements and compounds react with each other


Are the atoms in a piece of gold the same as each other or are they different?

Yes, while Gold (Au) does have a number of isotopes (195Au, 196Au, 198Au and 199Au), these are all synthetic (made by man) and unstable. The only stable isotope of Gold is 197Au, and his means that all the atoms in a piece of natural gold are indeed 100% the same as each other .


How do you use the word idiosyncrasy in a sentence?

You mispelled it. It's idiosyncrasy. Uncle Johnny had many idiosyncrasies such as talking too loudly, laughing too loudly, and telling long detailed stories which put everyone to sleep before he finished. Dorie
