Why does lithium change to beryllium if you add a proton?

Adding a proton to a lithium nucleus transforms it into a beryllium nucleus by increasing its atomic number. This occurs because the number of protons in the nucleus defines the element, and adding a proton changes the element to the one with the next highest atomic number.


What is the proton number also called?

The proton number is the atomic number.


How does the atomic mass change when a proton is added to its nucleus?

Since the atomic mass consists of protons and neutrons, adding a proton would add one unit to the atomic massguessing that the number of neutrons doesn't change.


What is proton or atomic number?

A proton is a subatomic particle in the nucleus of an atom. Protons have a positive electric charge. The atomic number of an element is equal to the number of protons in the nucleus of one of its atoms. Therefore, if you change the number of protons in an atom, you change the element.


What is the formula for the atomic number?

atomic number = number of proton in an element number of proton = number of electron mass number = number of proton + number of neutron therefore... atomic number = mass number - number of neutrons


What happens if an atom of uranium loses a proton?

If an atom of uranium loses a proton, it becomes an atom of an element with one less proton in its nucleus, known as an isotope of a different element. This change can alter the atomic number, mass number, and chemical properties of the atom.


What is the proton number of iron?

iron has 26 protons


What is the atomic number to a proton?

We don't use a atomic number for a proton. But atomic number is the number of protons an atom contains.


How does a neutral atom change when its number of protons electrons or nuetrons change?

The element becomes a new element becuase the atomic number would change. For example if you added a proton to Hydrogen-atomic number 1, it would become helium-atomic number 2


How do you calculate avogadro's number?

1 / mass of a proton = avogadro's number 1 / mass of a proton = avogadro's number


Can nitrogen ever have more than 6 protons?
