How do we know if two atoms of the same element?

The number of protons.


Which Atoms have the same number of protons as what other?

The neutron. Unless it is an isotope, which has a different number of neutrons.


Do uncombined atoms have the same number of neutrons as protons?

Uncombined atoms have the same number of neutrons as protons only if they are isotopes of the element, which means the atoms have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons. Otherwise, atoms with the same number of protons and neutrons would be considered as different elements.


What's the difference between an atomic number in the mass number of an Atom?

All the atoms of a particular element have the same atomic number (number of protons). The atoms of different elements have different numbers of protons. For example, all oxygen atoms have 8 protons and all sodium atoms have 11 protons. The mass number of an atom is the total number of protons and neutrons it contains.


How many protons does hydrogen-1 have?

HydrogenAll atoms, ions, and isotopes of the same element have the same number of protons. The number of protons defines the element. Hydrogen atoms all have one proton. So it does not matter if you provide the mass number (hydrogen-1) because the number of protons does not depend on it. It does, however, let us know the number of neutrons. The mass number is the sum of the number of protons and neutrons. Because we know that hydrogen has one proton, and the mass number is one, there must be no neutrons.

What are Atoms with the same number of protons are?

All atoms with the same number of protons are atoms of the same element. The number of protons is the atomic number of the element.


How do we know if two atoms of the same element?

The number of protons.


How do you know if two atoms are from the same element?

Two atoms are from the same element if they have the same number of protons in their nuclei. This is the defining characteristic that determines an element's identity. For example, all carbon atoms have 6 protons, so any two atoms with 6 protons are considered to be the same element, carbon.


An element is determined by the number of?

An element can be identified by the number of protons in the nucleus of its atoms.


Why do all atoms have the same number of protons?

All atoms don't have the same number of Protons.


What else are you supposed to know about how atoms of different elements are different?

Atoms of each element have a specific number of protons.


What are the atoms that have the same number of protons called?

Two atoms that have the same number of protons are called isotopes.


Can atoms of different elements have the same number of protons be from the same element?

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).


Do all aluminum atoms have the same number of protons?

yes, all aluminum atoms have the same number of protons. The number of protons in an atom give it its identity. Isotopes are different atoms of the same element with the same number of protons, but a different number of neutrons.


Which Atoms have the same number of protons as what other?

The neutron. Unless it is an isotope, which has a different number of neutrons.


Number of protons in boron?

The atomic number of boron is 5, and since the atomic number of an element is the number of protons in the nuclei of its atoms, boron atoms have 5 protons in their nuclei.


Do uncombined atoms have the same number of neutrons as protons?

Uncombined atoms have the same number of neutrons as protons only if they are isotopes of the element, which means the atoms have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons. Otherwise, atoms with the same number of protons and neutrons would be considered as different elements.
