By a nuclear reaction
No, the atomic number of an element does not change when its atom gets converted into cations or anions. The atomic number is determined by the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom, which remains the same during the formation of cations or anions.
An ion
Unique
transmutation
The will depend on the type of atom. The number is different for an atom of hydrogen, lead, gold, fluorine, etc.
metallic bond
The atomic number of an atom does not change if the atom is converted into an anion or cation. The atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom, and this is not affected by the transfer of electrons that produces ionization of an atom.
fission is the splitting of atoms
During any type of radioactive decay, one isotope (type of atom) will convert into a different isotope.
That depends on the type of decay, alpha and beta decay change the atom into a different element but gamma decay does not.
An element is a substance made entirely from one type of atom. An element is a substance consisting of only one type of atom. ... The different types of elements are: Metals. Non - Metals. Metalloids.
ion can be produced when atom lose or gain electron when it lose electron it's converted to cation(+) but when gained it's converted to anion(-)
