The idea that the atoms of different elements are different was first postulated by John Dalton in his atomic theory. In his theory he stated that all of the atoms of a given element are identical in mass and properities, and that compounds form by the combination of two or more different kinds of atoms.
What else can I help you with?
Atoms of different elements are alike?
no. There is one element for each kind of atom.
Each different type of atom is called a?
Unique
How many protons and neutrons does a nucleus of an atom contain?
Each element has a different number of protons and neutrons. So it changes for each element.
What would change the number an atom into an atom of a different element?
A nuclear reaction of some sort ( not necessarily violent blast). there are various Isotopes of some elements- with differing atomic numbers.
Can If the number of protons in an atom were changed it would be a different element?
Yes, if the number of protons in an atom changes, it becomes a different element. The number of protons, known as the atomic number, uniquely defines each element on the periodic table. For example, an atom with 6 protons is carbon, while one with 7 protons is nitrogen. Therefore, altering the number of protons transforms the atom into a different element altogether.
Atoms of different elements are alike?
no. There is one element for each kind of atom.
How are an atom an element and an isotope different from each other?
An element is a class of substances An atom is the smallest possible piece of an element. An isotope is an electrically charged atom.
Each different type of atom is called a?
Unique
Does each element have its own type of atom?
no Yes, the number of protons and electrons is different for each chemical element and the number of neutrons is different for each isotope.
Which of the two numbers in each symbol might be different for a different atom of the same element?
The mass number would be different for different isotopes of the same element.
What makes element different from one another?
The atoms of each element have a number of protons that is unique to each element. The number of protons makes one atom different from another.
How many proton does the atom have?
There are 9 protons in the element fluorine.
How many protons and neutrons does a nucleus of an atom contain?
Each element has a different number of protons and neutrons. So it changes for each element.
What makes one elemtn different from another?
The atoms of each element have a number of protons that is unique to each element. The number of protons makes one atom different from another.
What is the number of atoms of each element?
each element has one atom of the element's name
What makes each element different from the previous one?
The previous element in the periodic system (by ordered atom number) has ONE proton and one electron LESS per atom
What would change the number an atom into an atom of a different element?
A nuclear reaction of some sort ( not necessarily violent blast). there are various Isotopes of some elements- with differing atomic numbers.
