Answer: The atoms in the green boxes are the same element while the others in the red circles are of different elements.

Step-by-step explanation:

Atoms of the same element MUST have the same number of protons. The number of neutrons may vary in the case of ISOTOPES (in which case the green labelled atoms are isotopes). Both red labelled atoms have a different number of protons from the other two.
