What else can I help you with?
Why are protons and neutrons always equal in number?
Because they are both in the nucleus and if they weren't the element would be radioactive.
What would happen to an atom if the number of protons in the nucleus changed?
It would become a different element. It could become radioactive.
Why dont radioactive elements have a stable nucleus?
By definition. If it were stable, then it would not be radioactive.
What element has the mass number 260?
The element with mass number 260 does not exist naturally. However, an artificial element with the mass number 260 could be produced in a nuclear reaction involving a heavy nucleus and would likely be a radioactive isotope.
What happens to an atom with a nucleus that falls outside the band of stability?
It would be radioactive and the nucleus would undergo nuclear decomposition.
What makes a nucleus radioactive?
If you are referring to a cell's nucleus than the simple answer is that's not radioactive. Radioactivity occurs when elemental atoms become unstable due to the loss or gain of additional neutrons; these unstable atoms are referred to as radioactive isotopes. If a cell's nucleus were radioactive it would not last very long, its structure and function would quickly degrade and collapse.
Energy from nuclear fission would be released in the splitting of the nucleus of which element?
Usually, uranium, specifically, uranium-235.
Is the element silver radioactive?
NO!!! Because if it was, there would not be any silver jewellery/cutlery etc., about, because the radio-activity woulkd be dangerous.
What element results if you add a pair of protons to the nucleus of mercury?
Assuming that two neutrons and two electrons are also added, the atomic number would shift from 80 to 82, resulting in lead. If the neutrons or electrons were not added, it would be the radioactive isotope, lead-206.
What kind of decay can change one element to another kind of element?
That would be radioactive decay.
What would happen to the original element if 4 neutrons were added?
If 4 neutrons were added to the nucleus of an original element, it would become an isotope of that element. Isotopes have the same number of protons (and thus the same atomic number) but differ in their mass due to the additional neutrons. This change can affect the stability of the nucleus, potentially making it radioactive if the neutron-to-proton ratio becomes unfavorable. The chemical properties of the element would remain largely unchanged since they are primarily determined by the number of protons.
What is am element?
Element Am is Americium. Americium is radioactive element number ninety five. I would not wanna mess with Americium
