Baryonic matter is matter composed mostly of baryons ( by mass ), which includes atoms of any sort ( and thus includes nearly all matter that may be encounterd or experienced in everyday life, including our bodies ).
Although all the nuclei of all atoms belonging to one element will have the same number of protons, they may not necessarily have the same number of neutrons ; such atoms are termed isotopes.
Chemical compounds may be composed of elements combined in exact whole-number ratios of atoms, as in water, table salt, and minerals as quartz, calcite, and some ores.
Carbon atoms may have different numbers of neutrons ; atoms of the same element having different numbers of neutrons are known as isotopes of the element.
Thus, all carbon isotopes have nearly identical chemical properties because they all have six protons and six electrons, even though carbon atoms may differ in number of neutrons.
Atoms of pure elements may bond to each other chemically in more than one way, allowing the pure element to exist in multiple structures ( spacial arrangements of atoms ), known as allotropes, which differ in their properties.
For example, carbon can be found as diamond, which has a tetrahedral structure around each carbon atom ; graphite, which has layers of carbon atoms with a hexagonal structure stacked on top of each other ; graphene, which is a single layer of graphite that is incredibly strong ; fullerenes, which have nearly spherical shapes ; and carbon nanotubes, which are tubes with a hexagonal structure ( even these may differ from each other in electrical properties ).

When covalent bonds link long chains of atoms in large molecules, however ( as in polymers such as nylon ), or when covalent bonds extend in networks though solids that are not composed of discrete molecules ( such as diamond or quartz or the silicate minerals in many types of rock ) then the structures that result may be both strong and tough, at least in the direction oriented correctly with networks of covalent bonds.
In 1916, chemist Gilbert N. Lewis developed the concept of the electron-pair bond, in which two atoms may share one to six electrons, thus forming the single electron bond, a single bond, a double bond, or a triple bond ; in Lewis's own words, " An electron may form a part of the shell of two different atoms and cannot be said to belong to either one exclusively.
In addition, the same atoms may be able to form noncrystalline phases.
