Does the number of protons of carbon ever change?
No, the number of protons in an atom of a specific element like carbon does not change. Carbon always has 6 protons.
What happens to an atom if then number of protons change?
The number of protons determines the type of element that the atom is.One proton = hydrogentwo protons = helium.three protons = lithum.six protons = carbon.seven protons = nitrogen.eight protons = oxygen.etc.If you change the number of protons then you change the element
How are the number of protons an important aspect of the atom?
the number of protons determine what the substance is. if the number of protons in an atom change, the substance made of that atom changes too.
Why doesnt the number of protons change for a single element while the neutrons and electrons can?
The number of protons in an atom determines its identity as a specific element. Changing the number of protons would change the element. Neutrons and electrons can be added or removed without changing the identity of the element since they do not affect the element's chemical properties.
What an atom maybe if it has a different number of protons and electrons?
The number of protons is a specific characteristic of an atom; if the number of protons is other the element is other.
What is it called when the number of protons in an atom change?
The only way to change the number of protons in an atom is with a nuclear reaction.
How can an atom be electrically neutral when its protons change?
Generally an atom contains similar number of electrons and protons. That is why an atom is neutral.
Is numbers of protons chemical or a physical change?
The number of protons in a nucleus is a property of the atom, not a 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 cannot change about an atom?
The number of protons can not be changed.
What do you get when you change the mass number of an atom?
You can't change the mass number of an atom because the mass number is the number of protons which is the atom's atomic number I hope this helped :)
What is determined the number of protons in an atom?
The number of protons in an atom is determined by the element's atomic number, which is unique to each element. The atomic number represents the number of protons in the nucleus of the atom, defining its identity as a specific element.
