Look at the diagram above. Pictured are three atoms of the same element. We know this because each atom has only one proton. Which of the following statements is therefore accurate.

• Two atoms of the same element can differ in the number of protons, neutrons, or electrons.

• Two atoms of the same element can differ in only in the number of protons or electrons.

• Two atoms of the same element can differ in only in the number of neutrons or electrons.

• Two atoms of the same element can differ in only in the number of protons and neutrons.
