Zinc, With the two Protons removed the new atomic weight is zinc
Germanium has thirty two protons. If two were removed, the atom would have thirty protons, making it Zinc.
a zink isotope
a zink isotope.
zinc If you change the number of protons, you change the element.
neutrally charged ones All atoms have the same number of protons and electrons, that's why they're electrically neutral. The negative charge on the electron and the positive charge on the proton are the same magnitude.If there is a difference in the number of protons and neutrons, we call the atom an Ion, and state the charge.When there are more electrons than protons, we call this an Anion (a negatively charged Ion) and when there are fewer electrons than protons, this is called a Cation (a positively charged Ion).

a zink isotope
zinc If you change the number of protons, you change the element.
The name is ion.
If the number of protons and electrons are not equal, the atom becomes a charged particle called an ion.
A positive ion.
All atoms have the same number of protons and electrons, but an atom with a different number of protons and neutrons is called and isotope
No An atom may have less, the same, or more neutrons than protons. The number of neutrons determine which isotope of an element you have. You do expect the number of protons and electrons to be the same however. If an atom loses or gains an electron to cause the number of electrons and protons to be mismatched we call that an ion rather than an atom.
an isotope of germanium. There are 5 stable isotopes of germanium (70, 72, 73, 74, and 76), so with two less neutrons than these you could have these isotopes (68, 70, 71, 72, or 74) of which the isotopes 68 and 71 are radioactive.
the nucleus of an atom that contains the positively charged protons and the neutral neutrons
