The statement is false. The element sodium is made up of only one kind of atom, which has a specific number of protons (11 protons). Different isotopes of sodium can exist (which have different numbers of neutrons), but they still have the same number of protons. Thus, sodium does not consist of two kinds of atoms with different numbers of protons.
