The atom is no longer that element anymore. It becomes the element with the atomic number of protons the atom now has.

∙ 14y agoIts easy. First you take the element and place it in your nuclear particle accelerator. You apply 2.8 x 10^16MW of AC current until it reaches a temperature of about 1,000,000.0 K. At this point at least two moles of your starting element will have collided (with 99.97% certainty) at sufficient speed to defenestrate, thus increasing its atomic number by one. This is difficult and requires very expensive equipment and immense amounts of energy.

∙ 15y agoProtons are held together in atoms by something called the strong nuclear force (so named because it is a strong force that acts within nuclei). The strong force acts over very short distances and grows exponentially weaker as distance increases, meaning that in order for two protons to become attracted to one another via the strong force, they must be pushed very close together. This is difficult, because protons, being positively charged, repel one another via the electromagnetic force. To add a proton to an atom (thus turning it into a new, heavier atom), you have to force the proton up against the other protons with enough force to overcome the electromagnetic repulsion, so that they get close enough that the strong force takes over. This is called nuclear fusion, and it can be done using a particle accelerator that smashes atoms together with great force, or it can be done by heating something to extreme temperatures, since heat is the result of atoms moving around very quickly. Move them around quick enough (in other words, get them hot enough) and they will start smashing up against each other with enough force that they stick. The problem with the heat option is that, long before the atoms start hitting each other with that kind of force, they will simply fly apart from the force of their motion. So they must be contained, which occurs naturally in very heavy things (like stars) because with enough mass, gravity is strong enough to keep the whole mess together until fusion can occur. Short of a star, high-intensity magnetic fields might also be used to hold everything together long enough -- this is what we try to do in controlled fusion reactors.

∙ 13y agoThe atom becomes a positively charged ion. Since there are more protons (+) than electrons (-), it has a positive charge. Ions are formed when an atom gains or loses a proton/electron.

What happens when a proton is added to a carbon?
The resulting element will be nitrogen. If you add 1 proton to carbon(6), it results in nitrogen(7). Both numbers being the atomic number on the periodic table
If you add a proton neutron and electron to an atom explain why the atom would not be the same element?
BECAUSE ON ADDING ANYTHING (PROTON, NEUTRON OR ELECTRON) THE CHEMICAL PROPERTIES OF THE ATOM DOES NOT REMAIN THE SAME. 1. AS ON ADDING ELECTRON THE ATOM WILL BE IONIZED AND WILL BECOME MORE NEGATIVELY CHARGED AND THUS WILL REACT WITH DIFFERENT ELEMENT IN A DIFFERENT MANNER OR FORM DIFFERENT CHEMICAL FORMULAS. FOR EXAMPLE: C + O2 = CO2 BUT IF WE ADD 2 MORE ELECTRONS TO OXYGEN THE IT WILL FORM CO. 2. THE ATOMIC MASS OF A HYDROGEN ATOM IS 1 BECAUSE IT ONLY CONTAIN 1 PROTON (i.e. NO NEUTRON) BUT IF WE ADD I NEUTRON TO IT ITS ATOMIC MASS WILL BE 2 WHICH IS THE ATOMIC PASS OF A DIFFERENT ELEMENT DEUTRIUM AND THUS THE ELEMENT WILL NOT REMAIN THE SAME.(not sure of the spelling & grammar.) (ii)THE ATOMIC MASS OF URANIUM'S STABLE ISOTOPE IS 238. IF WE ADD A NEUTRON ITS ATOMIC MASS WILL BECOME 239 WHICH IS THE ATOMIC MASS OF POLONIUM AND THUS THE ELEMENT WILL NOT REMAIN SAME. 3. IF WE ADD PROTON TO AN ATOM ITS ATOMIC NUMBER WILL CHANGED AND THUS IT CHEMICAL PROPERTIES WILL ALSO BE CHANGED.
What happens to ionic radius if you add an electron?
It increases.
What happens if you add an electron to chlorine gas?
It becomes a negatively charged ion.
What happens to an element if an electron is added?
it becomes an ion. an ion of any element has the same number of protons but different number of electrons. an ion can be of two types. cation and anion. cation is positive i.e. one less electron and an anion is negative, i.e. one more electron. so that's the answer to your original question. if an electron is added, the atom of the element becomes negatively charged.
What happens when you add or remove protons in an atom?
you cant add proton to an atom...u can only add electron....
How do you charge an atom?
remove either a proton or electron OR add a proton or electron...
What happens when you had a proton to the nucleus of an atom?
Im thinking you mean add instead of had? well when you add a proton it becomes a different element because each element has a different number of protons. When you add electrons or take away electrons they become ions. If the neutrons in the nucleus changes it becomes an isotope. To conclude, each element has its own unique proton count.
What happens when you add a proton to germanium?
If it were possible to add a proton to atoms, then the germanium would turn into arsenic.
What happens when a proton is added to a carbon?
The resulting element will be nitrogen. If you add 1 proton to carbon(6), it results in nitrogen(7). Both numbers being the atomic number on the periodic table
What would you get if you took an electron away from an atom?
You would get a positive ion, because there will be one extra positive charge no longer offset by the negative charge of that electron. You cannot take away a proton without changing the element, but you can add or remove valence electrons.

What happens to ionic radius if you add an electron?
It increases.
What is neon if you add an electron?
Sodium would most like be the element with one more electron over neon.
What are atoms with nuclei that contain the same number of protons but a different number of neutrons called?
An atom of the same element with a different number of neutrons is called an isotope.If the element loses/gains a proton, then the element changes, but a different number of neutrons simply changes the isotope of the element in question. For instance:Nitrogen-14 (atomic mass 14, normal Nitrogen) has 7 protons, electrons, and neutrons. If we add a proton and an electron, then it changes to Oxygen-15, which is unstable, and therefore radioactive. However, if we add a neutron to our Nitrogen-14, it becomes Nitrogen-15, which just happens to be a stable isotope (and in fact makes up 0.37% of the Nitrogen in the air).Finally, if we add a Proton/Electron and a neutron to Nitrogen-14, we get Oxygen-16, which unlike Oxygen-15, is perfectly stable (and it better be, as Oxygen-16 makes up about 99% of the Oxygen we need to survive).
What elements have 2 protons in the nucleus?
Helium, number two on the periodic table of elements. Nothing else has two protons, for to remove a proton or add a proton is to change the element.
What happens if you add an electron to chlorine gas?
It becomes a negatively charged ion.
