Answer:
All atoms of the same element have the same number of protons
Step-by-step explanation:
- Atoms are the smallest particles of elements that can take part in a chemical reaction.
- Atoms of an element have the same number of protons but may have a different number of electrons or neutrons.
- Atoms of the same element with different neutrons are called isotopes.
- An element may have two or more isotopes. For example, oxygen isotopes; oxygen-16, oxygen-17 and oxygen-18.
- Atoms may have a different number of electrons when they lose or gain an electron(s) to attain a stable configuration.
