How many protons does the second type of boron atom contain?
5. If it is more or less than 5 protons then it is not boron.
The Atom boron Had 5 protons 6 neutrons 5 electrons it is now know as a?
Um. Atom? Element? If it has an equal number of protons and electrons, it has a neutral charge, so is not an ion. If it is not bonded to anything, it is not a molecule. You could call it an isotope of Boron, however this term is usually only used for less common isotopes, meaning atoms with different numbers of neutrons, and the atom with 6 neutrons is the most common isotope of Boron. Is there any more information in the question, or does anything happen to this atom?
What atom has 3 protons 3 neutrons and 2 electrons?
Lithium
Why does boron-11 have 5 protons and 5 neutrons?
Boron-11 is an isotope. The atomic number of Boron is 5 which means it has 5 protons, (if there were more or less protons the element wouldn't be boron). the isotope number (11) is the number of protons plus neutrons. to find out the number of neutrons you would take take the isotope and subtract it by number of protons (11-5) which yields 6. To find the isotope add the number of protons to the number of neutrons.
Is lithium an isotope ion or neutral atom?
Lithium is two of these but at the same time neither. It's an element. It is best described as an element, a type of atom with unique properties. If the number of neutrons varied, the multiple lithium atoms would be called isotopes. As for neutral vs. ion, if the number of protons is equal to the number of electrons, it is neutral. If it is not, it is an ion, specifically anion (less protons) or cation (more protons). It will always be a neutral atom or ion. It will always be an isotope, but only called so when in a group of lithium atoms with various numbers of neutrons.
Do neutral lithium atoms contain more neutrons than protons?
Neutral lithium atoms contain more neutrons than protons. A lithium atom typically has 3 protons in its nucleus, giving it an atomic number of 3, and it usually has 4 neutrons which adds to the mass number of 7.
An atom that has 3 protons 4 neutrons and 3 electrons has an atomic number of?
The number of protons an atom has is equal to its atomic number. In this case, there are 3 protons, so its atomic number is 3 and this is lithium (Li), the third element on the periodic table. Atomic mass is sum of the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus. Here, that is 3 and 4, respectively, giving our atom an atomic mass of 7. The number of electrons does not affect either the atomic number or the atomic mass, but instead determines the bonding properties of the atom and whether it has a charge. If the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons, as is the case here, the charge is neutral (0). If there are more electrons than protons, the atom will be negatively charged (5 electrons and 3 protons --> charge = -2), and if there are more protons than electrons, the atom will be positively charged (2 electrons and 3 protons --> charge = +1).
How many electrons are there in the lithium ion?
Lithium loses one electron when fulfilling the octet rule. A neutral atom of lithium will have the same number of electrons as protons, 3. Therefore, a lithium ion will have one less electron, 2.
How many protons and neutrons are present in boron?
The number of protons in an element is its atomic number. Boron's atomic number is 5 - ergo, there are 5 protons. The number of neutrons in an element is the difference between the atomic mass and the atomic number of an element. boron's atomic mass is 11. Therefore, 11 - 5 = 6. There are 6 neutrons in boron. In conclusion, there are 6 neutrons and 5 protons in boron.
What kind of atom has less electrons than protons?
anion
What atom has more or less electrons than it has protons?
Ion
How many protons and electrons are in the Li plus ion?
All lithium atoms and ions have three protons. The lithium ion has a charge of +1, meaning there is one less electron than protons, two.
