How do atoms define or determine elements?

Each element is different so for a certain element to be define/determined it has different atoms to make it up so no other element has the same atoms


If there are 109 different elements there must be 109 different what?

If there are 109 different elements, there must be 109 different atomic numbers since each element has a unique atomic number that distinguishes it from other elements on the periodic table.


Are two atoms of different elements because they have close but different masses?

An element is made up of only one type of atom. Atoms are only different from each other due to their atomic number - which is the number of protons. Different elements may have different relative atomic masses, but it is the differing number of protons in each atom that determines which element it is.


Is compound a substance in which the atoms are alike but different from the atoms of other elements?

Compound or substance: a molecule containing two or more types of chemical elements.


What are elements and atoms?

ATOMS AND ELEMENTSAfter reading this section you will be able to do the following:Define an atom.Define a Basic Element.All matter, such as solids, liquids and gases, is composed of atoms. Any material that is composed of only one type of atom is called a chemical element, a basic element, or just an element. An atom is the smallest particle of any element that still retains the characteristics of that element. A piece of an element that we are able to see or handle is made of many, many atoms and all atoms are the same...they all have the same number of protons. Protons and other subatomic particles will be discussed a little later. The atoms of different elements are different from each other because they have different numbers of protons. The graphic below illustrates this point by showing the atoms of two elements in the containers of oxygen and hydrogen.-----------The atoms in oxygen are identical to each other. The atoms in hydrogen are identical to each other. However, the atoms of oxygen are different from the atoms of hydrogen.Compounds, like water, are formed by combining the atoms of different elements together according to some chemical formula.

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 atoms of different elements said to be called?

No. Atoms are what make up elements, so they don't count.


How many different elements are in H2O2?

There are two elements.There are two atoms from each


How can there more than 1000 different atoms when there are only about 100 different elements?

My guess is that there are isotopes and ions of each element that count as different 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.
