The idea is that if you add a proton to an atom when working with the Periodic Table then it changes the atomic number of the atom. However, if you are talking about actually changing the number of protons within an atom; there are proton accelerators that shoot protons at an atom to make it a highly charged particle that is very unstable. As far as decreasing number of protons, I do not believe there is a way to do so; however I may be wrong about that portion.

What happens to an atom if then number of protons change?
The number of protons determines the type of element that the atom is.One proton = hydrogentwo protons = helium.three protons = lithum.six protons = carbon.seven protons = nitrogen.eight protons = oxygen.etc.If you change the number of protons then you change the element
What do you call a germanium atom with 2 less protons?
zinc If you change the number of protons, you change the element.
Why doesnt the number of protons change for a single element while the neutrons and electrons can?
The protons don't change because if the number of protons changes, the type of element the atom is changes. The number of protons determine the species of the atom.
Does the number of protons of carbon ever change?
yes
Is it possible to have carbon atoms with different numbers of protons?
No because the number of protons never changes or else the element changes.

How do the number of protons change as atomic number increases by one?
the number of protons change because of the more protons you add on
Is numbers of protons chemical or a physical change?
The number of protons in a nucleus is a property of the atom, not a change.
What type of change do protons carry?
Protons have a positive charge.
What do you call a germanium atom with 2 less protons?
zinc If you change the number of protons, you change the element.

What is it called when the number of protons in an atom change?
The only way to change the number of protons in an atom is with a nuclear reaction.
The electric change of protons in the nucleus is the-?
The electric change of protons in the nucleus is called electric force. It is form between the gravitation of two objects.
How do you calculate protons and in ions?
The protons are always the same as their matching atomic number. This is also true of ions. Protons never change.
What information in the periodic table indicats the number of protons in a atom?
The atomic number represents the number of protons in the element. This number is unique to that element, if you change the atomic number (number of protons) then you change the element.
What atomic particle has a positive change?
Protons
Do protons have a positive electrical change?
YES
