What is the smallest part of a element that occurs naturally?
atom is the smallest part of element
Which type of reaction occurs when the high-energy particle collides with the nucleus of an atom converting the atom to a atom of a different element?
transmutation
What happens when the number of protons in an atom change?
The type of atom is now different from what it was. (It has a new identity.)
What is the smallest amount in an element?
The smallest quantity of an element is an atom.
What kind of element an atom is?
An atom is the smallest piece of an element that can be identified as that element.
What is the smallest part of an element that occurs naturally?
It is the atom
What is the smallest part of a element that occurs naturally?
atom is the smallest part of element
When the number of protons is changed in an atom what is formed.?
When the number of protons is changed in an atom, the result is the formation of a NEW ELEMENT.
What subatomic particles could be changed without changing which element the atom is?
The element that an atom is is determined by the number of protons. The number of electrons can be changed (creating an ion), and the number of neutrons can be changed (creating an isotope), and as long as the number of protons does not change, the element that the atom is does not change.
What type of bonds occurs when an electron leaves an atom of an element and joins another atom?
Ionic
Which type of reaction occurs when the high-energy particle collides with the nucleus of an atom converting the atom to a atom of a different element?
transmutation
What happens when an atom gains or losses protons?
The element is completely changed
What happens when the number of protons in an atom change?
The type of atom is now different from what it was. (It has a new identity.)
If the number of neutrons in an atom is changed does the atom become a new element Why or why not?
No, it becomes a different isotope. An element is defined solely by the number of protons.
What does the 2 mean in 2co2?
It says that in your molecule, the element in front of the little 2 occur twice. So in CO2, a carbon-atom occurs once, and the oxygen-atom occurs twice.
Why must the number of protons always stay the same in an atom?
if the number of protons changed, the atom would become a different element
Could an atom of a certain element be changed to another element by messing up with the atomic number and number of neutrons?
Absolutely, this occurs naturally all the time in radioactive decay and in fusion in stars and supernovae as well as artificially in particle accelerators, nuclear reactors, and nuclear bombs.
