An element is composed of atoms of the same sort.

Explanation:

Most elements are mono-atomic, i.e. they are loose atoms. Some elements form di-atomic molecules (still of the same sort), such as hydrogen, where the molecules consist of two hydrogen atoms (#H_2#), and some go even further than that (such as phosphorous #P_4#).

But still all atoms are the same.
