So you can tell them apart.
Element refers to atoms that have the same number of Protons.
Atoms of the same element cannot have different numbers of protons. Different numbers of protons mean different elements. An atom with the a different number of neutrons is called an isotope.
All atoms of the same element have the same number of protons, which is its atomic number. A neutral atom will have the same number of electrons as protons.
The identity of every element is given by the number of protons in the nucleus. To keep electrical neutrality, they also have the same number of electrons.See the Related Questions for more information about protons, neutrons, and electrons in atoms.
A pure substance in which all the atoms have the same atomic number or number of protons is an element.
All atoms with the same number of protons are atoms of the same element. The number of protons is the atomic number of the element.
All atoms don't have the same number of Protons.
Two atoms that have the same number of protons are called isotopes.
yes, all aluminum atoms have the same number of protons. The number of protons in an atom give it its identity. Isotopes are different atoms of the same element with the same number of protons, but a different number of neutrons.

Number of protons
All the lithium atoms contain the same number of protons.
No. Each type of atom (element) has its own unique number of protons, which is called the atomic number. Atoms of the same element will always have the same atomic number (number of protons). Atoms of different elements will never have the same atomic number (number of protons).
Isotopes are atoms of the same element, having the same number of protons but different number of neutrons.
Yes, all atoms with the same number of protons will have the same name. The number of protons in an atomic nucleus is what we use to number the elements. Elements with the same number of protons are the same element, as the identity of an element is due solely to the number of protons in its nucleus.
All atoms of the same element have the same number of protons. Atoms of different elements have different numbers of protons. The number of protons determines the element.
