You should be more specific about what change you are talking about. But let me take a guess. For example, iron plus oxygen can become ferric oxide. Both elements change their names. The change is used to indicate the kind of bonding process that is taking place. When iron and oxygen become ferric oxide, the iron has lost electrons and the oxygen has gained the electrons that iron lost. The change of name tells us that the elements are in an altered state, having turned into electrically charged ions.

What results when radioactive decay causes loss or one more protons?

If radioactive decay causes the loss of one or more protons, the element changes into a different element with a lower atomic number. This process is known as transmutation. The new element formed will have different chemical properties than the original element due to the change in the number of protons.


Is does not react with hydrogen a physical or chemical change?

This is a chemical property of an element. It indicates how an element interacts with other substances. In this case, the element does not undergo a chemical change when exposed to hydrogen.


What happens if you change the number of protons of an element?

The element transforms itself into another element because each element have a specific number of protons. If the number of protons changes, the element changes as well. The number of protons in an atom defines it elemental identity, so if the number of protons in an element increases by one it becomes another element. Although this reference doesn't really provide a direct answer, it does provide additional information that might be of interest: http://www.answers.com/topic/proton


Why doesnt the number of protons change for a single element while the neutrons and electrons can?

The number of protons in an atom determines its identity as a specific element. Changing the number of protons would change the element. Neutrons and electrons can be added or removed without changing the identity of the element since they do not affect the element's chemical properties.


Is when a burner gets red hot an example of a chemical change?

This is indeed a physical change. There is a colour change, but if the substance is cooled down it is still the same. All that providing electricity is really doing is adding Energy to the burner.

What causes the change in the atomic mass of an element?

Apart from a few, almost all elements have isotopes. They are almost similar except the number of neutrons they have.


Why does an element radiate?

An element will radiate if it is an isotope of the original element, this means that it has more neutrons in its nucleus than it does protons. This causes the element to become unstable and thus causes it to let out radiation in order to make it stable.


What property must be change to change an element into another element?

to make one element a different element, all you need to do is have a different number of protons


Does plutonium change its element when melted if so to what?

No. Melting does not change one element into another.
