There are more than 109 different types of atom - one for each element. Differences between the atoms give the elements their different chemical properties. In 2001, there were 115 known elements. However, those above 109 are highly unstable and have been made in only tiny quantities. Scientists are able to make tiny amounts amounts of these new elements in the laboratory.
As of 2012, there are 118 known elements. Elements consist of particles called atoms that consist of protons, electrons and optionally neutrons. Protons and neutrons are in the core of the atom, while electrons reside on different energy levels in a cloud around the core. The atomic number of the element is determined by the number of protons in the core. The lightest, simplest element in the universe is hydrogen-1, which consists of one proton and one electron. There are also isotopes (different types) of hydrogen that have one or two neutrons in the core.
