How would adding a neutron to an atom affect its atomic number?

Atomic number = Number of protons. So addition of neutron has no affect on the atomic number.Isotopes of the same element are formed by the change in neutrons.

How do you determine the number of neutron?
Protons = Atomic Number Electrons = Atomic Number Neutrons = Atomic Mass - Atomic Number *A note on Atomic Mass* Atomic Mass is the sum of the number of protons and neutrons in an atom. Every time you remove or add a Proton/Electron or a Neutron, you change the mass by one. *A note on Protons and Electrons* The number of Protons and Electrons in an atom is always the same. Whenever you talk about adding/removing a proton or an electron, you are by default adding/removing one of the other as well.
How does the change in the carbons number of neutron affect its atomic number?
The number of neutrons has no influence on the number of the atomic number. Only protons do, and they only change in nuclear chemistry.
How does the change in the carbon's number of neutron affect the atomic number?
The number of neutrons has no influence on the number of the atomic number. Only protons do, and they only change in nuclear chemistry.
Does a neutron contribute to the atoms atomic number?
Nope, the atomic number is equal to the number of protons.
What is atomic mass A and neutron number N for given atom?
Atomic mass is the number of protons and neutrons that make up an atom. The neutron number is only the number of neutrons present in the atom. This can be found by subtracting the number of protons from the atomic mass.

How do you calculate the number of neutron in the nucleus of an atom?
You calculate the number of neutron in the nucleus of an atom by : atomic mass - atomic number = neutron number. :) hope this helps
What is the formula to get a number atomic neutron?
No. of neutrons=Atomic mass - Atomic number
How to calculate neutron?
Atomic mass - Atomic number
What element has the neutron number of 30.69?
This is the weighted average neutron number for the naturally occurring isotopes of nickel, which has the atomic number 28 and the gram-atomic mass of 58.69. In an individual isotope, the neutron number is always the isotopic atomic mass number minus the atomic number, and the same principle applies to the weighted average neutron number for the naturally occurring isotopes of an element.
Does a neutron contribute to the atoms atomic number?
Nope, the atomic number is equal to the number of protons.
Is the atomic number of an atom equal to its number of protons and the atomic mass is equal to its number of neutron Protons?
yes

Atomic mass is the number of protons and neutrons that make up an atom. The neutron number is only the number of neutrons present in the atom. This can be found by subtracting the number of protons from the atomic mass.
Why do you think changing the number of neutrons does not create a new element?
Because an element is defined by it's atomic number. Which is defined by the number of protons found in atom. Adding a neutron creates an isotope of an element.
How does beta radiation affect the nucleus?
The end result of beta- decay is that a neutron is converted into a proton, increasing the atomic number while keeping the atomic mass number the same. The end result of beta+ decay is that a proton is converted into a neutron, decreasing the atomic number while keeping the atomic mass number the same.
