No it NEVER EVER EVER EVER changes other wise it would be a completely different element like aluminum .

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.


Do the number of protons in a specific atom ever change?

no. because if the number of protons changes, then the element changes


Can nitrogen ever have more than 6 protons?

No because the number of protons can not change. If it does it would then be Oxygen. Think of a proton as an id number or SSN.


How many protons and electrons does a chloride ion have?

Protons = 17, electrons = 18There are two isotopes differing in neutron number only :Cl-35 (75%) having 35-17= 18 neutronsCl-37 (25%) having 37-17= 20 neutrons


Is calcuim a mixture?

Only of isotopes. Calcium is an element. No mixture of chemicals can ever be a single element. The atoms of any element, such as calcium, always have the same number of protons and the same number of electrons. The number of electrons in an atom is the same as the number of protons in that atom. Different Isotopes of an element have different numbers of neutrons in the nucleus, but this doesn't change any of the chemical properties.


Does the total number of nucleons in the nucleus of the atom ever increase during the decay chain?

No, the total number of nucleons in the nucleus remains constant during a decay chain. The total number of protons and neutrons may change as individual particles are emitted during decay, but the overall number of nucleons (protons and neutrons combined) remains the same within a closed system.


Does your id number on your license ever change?

NO


Can the number of neutrons or electrons in an atom of an element change?

If you take a proton away from an element, the whole element will change. For example, you take away one proton from mercury, then you would have gold. People have tried this for many years but so for it's impossible. If you change the number of protons in a atom, it would change the whole substance.


Are protons ever involved in a chemical reaction?

Protons are not involved in chemical reactions.


What can be determined if you know the atomic number of an electrically neutral atom?

The number of electrons can be determined if the overall charge and number of protons are known. If the charge of an atom is neutral, then how ever many protons it has it will also have that number of electrons.
