All protons are identical.

What is different between elements is the number of protons.

What are atoms of the same element but have different sums of protons and neutrons?

The Proton number defines the element, so there cannot be two atoms of the same element with different proton numbers, because they will be, by definition, different elements. Neutron numbers can differ though. When one element has different neutron configurations, these are called Isotopes.


What is the proton for xenon?

A proton is a subatomic particle which is the same in whichever element it is found. A proton from a Xenon atom is no different to that from a Hydrogen atom or a Uranium atom.


Isotopes of the same element differ in the number of what-?

Only the neutron number is different, same proton and electron number.


Do mass of proton vary for different elements?

The number of protons is different for each element, but the mass of each individual proton is always the same.


How atoms of the same element can be different?

An element by definition refers to all atoms with the same number of protons; so any atom with 1 proton is the same element as all other atoms with one proton; which would be helium. And then, all atoms with 2 protons would be the same element; hydrogen. But the atoms that have 1 proton and the atoms that have 2 protons cannot be the same element.An ion is an element with a different amount of electrons, where if it is a positive ion it is missing an election compared to a "normal" element and if it is a negative ion it would have an extra election compared to a "normal" element.An isotope is a member of the same element but it has a different number of neutrons.


Can 2 isotopes of the same element differ in the number of neutrons?

YES. The very definition of isotopes are atoms of the same element with the same number of proton (same atomic number) but different numbers of neutrons, therefore different mass numbers.


Is every atom in an element exactly the same?

No. Atoms of the same elements can have different numbers of neutrons.


What do two different neutral Isotopes have the same elements in common?

The proton and electron number are equal for all isotopes of the same specific element.


What if the proton has a different number of nuetrons?

If a proton has a different number of neutrons, it becomes an isotope of the element. Isotopes of an element have the same number of protons but differ in the number of neutrons, which can impact the stability and properties of the atom.


What element is a proton?

A single proton (not part of a larger nucleus) is the same as a positive hydrogen ion.


What subatomic particles can differ between neutral atoms of the same element?

Neutral atoms of the same element can differ in the number of neutrons, which results in different isotopes of the same element. Isotopes have the same number of protons and electrons, but different numbers of neutrons.


Does atom of the same element have the same number of proton?

Yes that is true Every atom of a given element does have the same number of protons.
