What else can I help you with?
An atom that has more neutrons than protons is called what?
An atom that has more neutrons than protons is called an Isotope.
Does an atom become more or less stable as it loses neutrons?
It can do either, depending on it's state previous to losing neutrons. Generally if an atom is shedding neutrons it is doing so to become more stable.
What is the term for the situation when an atom has more neutrons than protons?
The term for the situation when an atom has more neutrons than protons is called neutron excess or neutron-rich.
Does an atom with more neutrons have a positive charge?
No. Neutrons have no charge. They are neutral ... the main reason they're called NEUtrons.The total charge on an atom is not affected by the number of neutrons in its nucleus.
An atom with a nucleus that contains more neutrons than protons is called?
An anion
What atom consists of more or less neutrons than protons?
Tritium, also know as hydrogen 3, has 2 neutrons and one proton
The center of an atom is the neutron ture or false?
False. The center of an atom is called the atom's nucleus. This nucleus may, or may not, contain one or more neutrons.
What is contained inside the nucleus of an atom?
The nucleus of an atom contains protons and neutrons, which are called nucleons. Protons have a positive charge, while neutrons have no charge. Electrons, which have a negative charge, orbit around the nucleus in electron clouds.
What is an atom with more or fewer neutrons than atoms of the same element?
An atom of a certain element with a different number of neutrons compared with the common form of the element is called an isotope. Isotopes have the same number of protons and electrons in an atom, but a different number of neutrons (which means that they have a different atomic mass number).
What are the non charged particles that are contained in nucleus of an atom?
Explanation: Neutrons are non charged particles in nucleus. They are present in order to reduce the repulsive forces between two or more positively charged protons, which are also present in the nucleus.
How many more neutrons are in an isotope of carbon-14 than in a standard carbon atom?
There are 8 more neutrons in an isotope of carbon-14 than in a standard carbon atom. Carbon-14 has 8 neutrons, while a standard carbon atom (carbon-12) has 6 neutrons.
What are the nucleus of most atoms consist of?
The nucleus of an atom is made up of two types of subatomic particles, protons and neutrons which together are sometimes called nucleons. These subatomic particles are in turn made up of smaller particles called quarks.
