No, it becomes a new element.

The charge transfer is effected by electrons.

How can element 92 become element 93?
It happens when a beta particle is emitted from the nucleus of the atom of element 92. Beta Particle is emitted when a neutron is converted to a proton.So atomic number that is , the no of protons increases by 1. Hence 92 becomes 93.
What particle does an object gain in order to become negatively charged?
electron
When a neutron star is formed what particle is produced by the combining of the protons and electrons?
When a neutron star is formed, protons and electrons are crushed, they collide and become neutrons.
What part of an atom must change for the atom to become a new element?
An atom must gain or lose protons from its nucleus to become an atom of another element. The number of protons, and to a much lesser extent the number of neutrons, will determine the chemical properties of an element.
How does a neutron become positively charged?
A neutron has a neutral charge. The atom itself consists of protons neutrons and electrons. Neutrons do not serve much purpose except holding the protons in the nucleus and making different isotopes. An atom can become positively charged if it looses an electron which originally carried a negative charge. If that atom were to gain an electron it would become negatively charged.
What happens if a particle has less protons than electrons?
The atom will become negatively charged (protons are positive and electrons are negative.)
If the isotope bismuth-213 emits an alpha particle two protons and two neutrons which element will be left over?
Emitting an alpha particle 213Bi become 209Tl.
How can element 92 become element 93?
It happens when a beta particle is emitted from the nucleus of the atom of element 92. Beta Particle is emitted when a neutron is converted to a proton.So atomic number that is , the no of protons increases by 1. Hence 92 becomes 93.
When does a particle become charged?
gain or lose electrons
When do atomic nucleus charge grow?
When the atom gets bigger. Bigger atoms mean more protons in the nucleus. You can find out the number of protons by looking at a periodic table, it's the bottom number of each element. This is because the nucleus is positively charged (containing protons and neutrons) so the more protons there are, the more positively charged it will become.
What is the element that has the most protons of any element in group 18?
Radon (Rn) has the most protons of any element in Group 0 (18) with 86 protons. However, if or when Ununoctium is officially confirmed, that will become the element with most protons in that family, with 118 protons.
What particle does an object gain in order to become negatively charged?
electron
When an atom loses an electron does it become positively charged?
No, it becomes (positively) electrically charged and in this state is called a "ion" (of the original element) It is also possible for an element to gain an electron and become (negatively) charged. This too is an "ion". What element the atom is, is determined by the number of protons in the atoms nucleus and these do not change unless the element is radioactive.
Changing the number of protons in an atom would change what?
If an atom were to change the number of protons it had than it would change the atomic number and therefore become a different element. Radioactive decay is one example of this, for example, alpha decay is when a radioactive nucleus emits an alpha particle (2 protons + 2 neutrons) and in doing so, becomes a nucleus of a different element. Polonium-212 decays to Lead-208 in this way.
When a atom gain or looses a valence electron it become a charged particle called an?
When an atom gains or looses a valence electron it becomes a charged particle called an ion
An atom can form a positive ion by?
Normally, atoms have the same number of protons and electrons. Protons are positively charged, electrons are negatively charged. To become positively charged, an atom must lose an electron (Thus there'll be more protons than electrons). Such atoms are called cations (positively-charged ions).
How can an atom become positively or negatively charged by gaining or losing this subatomic particle?
Gaining or losing electrons can cause an atom to become positively or negatively charged
