Atoms of elements are made up of protons, neutrons, and electrons. The number of protons is always the same for every atom of a given element. Thus, the number of electrons is also constant for a pure element (which is electrically neutral). However, the number of neutrons can vary; this variation leads to what are known as isotopes.
