Any atom has only one nucleus in it. The difference is always in the number of nucleons. Nucleons are the fundamental particles of an atom that constitute the nucleus. Protons and neutrons are the primary nucleons. The number of protons is always different for different elements. For e.g., the number of protons in a carbon atom is 6
