An element is a substance made from only one type of atom. Remember this definition as you might need it in the exam! For example Carbon is made entirely from carbon atoms. Sodium is made entirely from sodium atoms. Unlike a compound, an element cannot be broken down (chemically) into a more simple substance. The periodic table shows all the elements. Atoms of the same element have the same number of protons and therefore have the same atomic number.
An element is a substance composed of identical atoms. This definition was one of the cornerstones of John Dalton's atomic theory, but it too was made obsolete by the discovery of isotopes.Atoms of the same element have different numbers of neutrons in their nuclei.n other words, all atoms of an element have the same atomic number. This modern definition resolves some sticky situations encountered with older definitions: The definition above doesn't make element and mixture mutually exclusive classifications of matter.
