nuclear decay
Every element has its own kind of atom, identifiable from atoms of another element by its number of protons.
An atom is an element. Every atom has a certain amount of protons, neutrons and electrons and these are what define which element that atom is.
Each atom of an isotope of beryllium (or of another element) is different from the atoms of an other isotope. But all the atoms of an isotope are identical.
Atoms are considered the smallest particle of an element because if we subdivide an atom, we loose the chemical and physical properties of that element. The things that identify that atom as an atom of a given element will disappear.
The smallest quantity of an element is an atom.
Every element has its own kind of atom, identifiable from atoms of another element by its number of protons.
If an element were broken down into its smallest particles, you would get atoms of that element. Each atom is the smallest unit of an element that retains the properties of that element.
When an atom of one element is brought in contact with an atom of another element, electrons get transferred from one element to another. However, if the atoms of same element come together then electrons are shared and not transferred. Exception to this is elements in noble gases.
atomic number of an atom is its own characteristic property,ie.the number of protons or electrons in an atom,which distinguishes atoms from one another
An atom is the smallest piece of an element. Said another way, and element is made up one and only one kind of atoms.
This measure is known as the valency of an element. Valency indicates the number of hydrogen atoms that an atom of an element can combine with or displace in a chemical compound. It helps determine how elements will bond with each other to form molecules.

there are atoms inside of each element
Atoms make up stable molecules. An atom is a single atom of an element. For example an atom of Helium(He) A molecule is two or more atoms bonded together. So hydrogen in its natural state of H2 is a molecule containing two hydrogen atoms. Another example is H2O which contains to atoms of hydrogen and one atom of oxygen.

Nothing's wrong, except that it means elements X and Y are in fact the same element, if their atoms have the same number of electrons. --------- A more clear, correct and short answer: a neutral atom of an element can be isoelectronic only with an ionized atom of another element.
