No. The atomic number of an element never changes. It is the number of protons and it defines the element. In certain types of radioactive decay, the number of protons can change, but then it is no longer the same (parent) element, but rather is a new (daughter) element.

Changes in the Periodic Table over time?

The periodic table has evolved over time as new elements have been discovered and our understanding of atomic structure has improved. Elements have been reorganized based on their atomic number instead of atomic weight, and new elements have been added as they were synthesized in laboratories. The table has also been expanded to include more information about each element, such as atomic structure and properties.

How do you determine the number of neutron?

Protons = Atomic Number Electrons = Atomic Number Neutrons = Atomic Mass - Atomic Number *A note on Atomic Mass* Atomic Mass is the sum of the number of protons and neutrons in an atom. Every time you remove or add a Proton/Electron or a Neutron, you change the mass by one. *A note on Protons and Electrons* The number of Protons and Electrons in an atom is always the same. Whenever you talk about adding/removing a proton or an electron, you are by default adding/removing one of the other as well.

Why wont your atomic clock change to daylight savings?

Atomic clocks do not automatically adjust for daylight savings time. You may need to manually change the time on the clock to account for the time change. Some atomic clocks have a setting that allows you to switch between daylight savings time and standard time. Check the user manual for instructions on how to make this adjustment.
