Explanation:

Atoms are the smallest particle of an element that have all the properties of the element.

All atoms of the same element have the same number of protons in their atomic nuclei, which is the atomic number for the element.

Atoms of different elements have different numbers of protons, and therefore different atomic numbers.

There are currently 118 elements known, which means there are currently 118 different known kinds of atoms according to the number of protons in their atomic nuclei.
