Atoms of different elements must have different numbers of protons in their nuclei, which defines the atomic number of each element. For example, hydrogen has one proton, while helium has two. This difference in proton count leads to variations in chemical properties and behavior, distinguishing one element from another. Additionally, the number of neutrons can vary within atoms of the same element, resulting in different isotopes, but the defining characteristic remains the number of protons.
