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.
What do the protons of the nucleus of an atom determine?
Number of protons or the atomic number of an atom determines what is the element.
What do protons determine about an element?
The protons of an element determine the atomic number, also known as the proton number. Do not confuse this with mass number which is the number of protons and neutrons.
How do you determine the number of electrons that an atom normally have?
by the atomic number which determines the number of protons. a stable atom will have an equal number of electrons as protons. if there are more or less, it is an ion
What happens when the number of protons in an atom change?
The type of atom is now different from what it was. (It has a new identity.)
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 protons don't change because if the number of protons changes, the type of element the atom is changes. The number of protons determine the species of the atom.
What do the protons of the nucleus of an atom determine?
Number of protons or the atomic number of an atom determines what is the element.
What does the number of protons in a nucleaus determine of an atom?
The number of protons in the nucleus of an atom determines the atomic number of the element to which the atom belongs.
What do protons determine about an element?
The protons of an element determine the atomic number, also known as the proton number. Do not confuse this with mass number which is the number of protons and neutrons.
What determine the atomic number of atom?
The number of protons
What determine the charge of an atom?
It depends on the number of electrons and protons the charge of an atom depends on the number of electrons and the number of protons
Do the number of protons in a specific atom ever change?
no. because if the number of protons changes, then the element changes
Do electrons determine what kind of element an atom is?
The number of protons determine the element. It is equal to the atomic number. The number of electrons is equal to the number of protons only of the atom is neutral.
What is counted in an atom to determine mass number?
NEUTRONS AND PROTONS are counted in an atom to determine it's mass number.
Is the atomic number determine by the number protons in an atom?
yes...
What does the mass number determine?
The Number Of Protons & Neutrons In An Atom.
