Define "type". Normally it's said that an element contains only one type of atom, but that ignores the possibility of isotopes, which might reasonably be considered different types of atoms.

Generally speaking, an element is an atomic structure unique unto itself. By this I mean that a given element will have a certain number of electrons, neutrons, and protons, which no other element has. Every atom of this element is the same. This ignores the slight variations which create isotopes of various elements.

There is only one.

For example, there are only atoms of Au (gold) in Au. Think of an element as a pure non-composite substance, identifiable as itself down to the atomic level.

There are no "atoms in an element," but rather atoms OF an element. If you are trying to find the number of atoms in a sample of a pure element you divide its weight by its molar mass and then multiply by 6.022 x 10^23 to get the answer in atoms. The answer options are 2,3, or 4.
