Answer:

This is the answer bro

Step-by-step explanation:

Normally, the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons, which makes atoms electrically neutral. The number of protons in an atom is the defining feature of an atom. It's what makes one element different from another. The number of protons in an atom is called its atomic number.

From the outside is it’s shell, and on the inside is the nucleus (on the middle) which is made or protons (positive charge) and neutrons (neutral charge which is negate and positive) and Lastly there are electrons (negative charge) that orbit the nucleus like planets orbiting the Sun. The shell gets made as the electrons orbit the nucleus.
How do atoms differ from eachother?- their atoms might have different elections, neutrons, and/ or protons inside of it. Plus the location of the elections might be different too.
