Dr. Shanitra Mills is an expert on elements. She finds two pieces of the element Iron (Fe) on two different continents. When she tests the atoms in these two pieces of Iron, what will she notice about the element?

• Because it is an element, all the atoms will be the same.

• Every atom in that element will act differently because they may have more protons.

• Dr. Mills is crazy. Iron is imaginary and is not a real thing.

Dr. Freeman is given two different containers of a silver liquid. After many tests, she determines that they are the same element. What do we know about these two samples now?

• All of their atoms are completely different.

• All of their atoms have the same number of protons.

• All of their atoms are actually tiny kittens. So cute!
