Analyze the statement
The statement asserts that the same element can have multiple charges, which means the number of electrons can change.
Evaluate the scientific validity
An element is defined by its atomic number (number of protons), which remains constant. However, atoms of the same element can gain or lose electrons to form ions with different charges (e.g., \(Fe^{2+}\) and \(Fe^{3+}\)). Therefore, the statement is true.
