Adding a proton to an element changes its atomic number, resulting in a new element. This can affect its chemical properties and reactivity.
Adding a proton to a lithium nucleus transforms it into a beryllium nucleus by increasing its atomic number. This occurs because the number of protons in the nucleus defines the element, and adding a proton changes the element to the one with the next highest atomic number.
Hydrogen ion is the only element that has no neutron and one proton. That is why it is basically a proton.
If you add a proton, neutron, and electron to a gold atom, you would obtain a new element called Mercury (symbol: Hg). This new element would have a different number of protons, neutrons, and electrons compared to gold.
It becomes nitrogen. This is a nuclear reaction. and not done in a School Lab. NB Different elements have a different number of PROTONS. So a change in the proton number means you have a different element.
the number of protons in an atom is what determines which element the atom is. So if an atom "lost" a proton, it would become another element entirely.
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.
If it were possible to add a proton to atoms, then the germanium would turn into arsenic.
Adding or removing protons in an atom changes the element itself, as the number of protons determines the atomic number. Adding a proton creates a new element, while removing a proton changes the atom into a different element. This process also affects the overall charge of the atom, as the number of protons affects the balance of positive charges in the nucleus.
i turns into the element on the left of it on the periodic table
Mass of an element will increase, creating an isotope.
The element with a proton number of 15 is Phosphorus; P
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.
Adding a proton to a lithium nucleus transforms it into a beryllium nucleus by increasing its atomic number. This occurs because the number of protons in the nucleus defines the element, and adding a proton changes the element to the one with the next highest atomic number.
Hydrogen ion is the only element that has no neutron and one proton. That is why it is basically a proton.
my fellow questioner, a proon is an element _____ Actually a prune is a dried plum. A proton is a subatomic particle, it is not an element. However, the element hydrogen does turn into a proton when ionized. So it's close.
The lightest element with only one proton is hydrogen.
The element with one proton per atom is hydrogen.
