a)
(well if it has different number of protons or electrons then it would be called an "ionized atom" either positive if more protons or negative if more electrons.)
- if there are more neutrons inside the nucleus then protons you got isotopes -
b)
(well if it has different number of protons or electrons just look at the Periodic Table and count how many protons it has and look at the Periodic Table that will tell you what an atom will be )
We use atomic number for recognize chemical elements. atomic number means, how many protons are there in a single atom.
When the number of protons is different another atom exist; the number of protons is specific for only one element.
It is a neutral atom
An iron atom is a different element than a sodium atom because it has a different ground state electron configuration. In fact, any atom that differs from any other atom in ground state electron configuration is a different element.
The number of an electron in a neutral atom is indicated by the atomic number, which is equal to the number of protons in the nucleus of the atom. In a neutral atom, the number of electrons is the same as the number of protons.
Yes it does. A neutral atom must ave same number of electron as protons to balance the charges.
Atomic number = Number of protons = Number of electrons
Is the number of protons or electron found in a given (neutral) element.

A neutral atom has an equal amount of protons and electrons. An ion is a charged atom. The amount of protons of a specific element will never change, but the number of electrons changes when an ion is formed. Therefore, a neutral atom and an ion are similar because they have the same number of protons, but they are different because they have a different number of electrons.
An Ion is:either positive ion that is a neutral atom with an electron or more stripped off from its electron orbits, ora negative ion that is a neutral atom acquiring an electron or more to its electron orbits.Accordingly, the number of protons in the nucleus is not affected by the ionization process. The number of protons in any ion of an element is the same number corresponding to the atom structure of the atom of that element.
None, for it to be an atom it has the have the same number of electrons and protons. Something with 1 electron and 2 protons would theoretically be a helium ion but helium does not form ions.
