The elements are all very different from each other in many ways! However, what uniquely defines the identity of each element is the number of protons in the nucleus of the atom, also called the atomic number.

What is the fundamental difference between covalent and ionic bonding?
The nature of the elements in the bond. Elements with a high difference in electronegativity have ionic bonds, elements with a small difference have nonpolar covalent bonds, and elements with no difference (if an atom binds to an atom of the same element) have nonpolar covalent bonds. The more electronegative eleme
What is the difference between heavy metals and the other metals?
Scientifically speaking, there are a couple of fundamental differences between heavy metals and other metals in the table of the elements. Heavier metals tend to have more ions and typically, less toxic elements.
What is the difference between elements and material?

Do ionic bonds have a greater or lesser electronegativity difference between them than a covalent bond?
The difference in electronegativity between two elements bonded into a compound by ionic bonds is almost always greater than the difference in electronegativity between two elements bonded into a compound by covalent bonds.
