Germanium has thirty two protons. If two were removed, the atom would have thirty protons, making it Zinc.

What would you call a germanium atom if you remove two protons?

If you remove two protons from a germanium atom, it would become a selenium atom. This is because germanium has 32 protons, while selenium has 34 protons.


What do you call a germanium atom if you remove 2 protons?

If you remove 2 protons from a germanium atom, it would become a gallium atom. Gallium has an atomic number of 31, while germanium has an atomic number of 32.


If you remove two protons from a germanium atom what do you call it?

If you remove two protons from a germanium atom, it would become a gallium atom. Gallium has atomic number 31, while germanium has atomic number 32. By removing two protons, the atomic number decreases by two, hence the change to gallium.


What do you call a germanium atom with 2 less protons?

A germanium atom with 2 less protons would be an atom of silicon. Silicon has an atomic number of 14, while germanium has an atomic number of 32. By removing 2 protons from germanium, you end up with an atom with an atomic number of 30, which corresponds to silicon.


What do you call a germanium if you remove 2 protons?

a zink isotope


What do you call a germanium atom with two less neutrons?

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.


What do you call an atom with the number of electrons is different from the number of protons?

The name is ion.


If the number of electrons and protons are not the same what do you call this?

When the number of electrons and protons are not the same in an atom, it becomes an ion. An atom becomes positively charged if it loses electrons (more protons than electrons), and negatively charged if it gains electrons (more electrons than protons).


What would you call an atom with 26 protons and 30 neutrons and 24 electrons?

A positive ion.


What do we call the tiny core at the center of an atom containing most of the atom's mass and all if its positive charge?

The core at the center of an atom is called the nucleus. It contains protons, which have positive charge, and neutrons, which contribute to the mass of the atom.


What do you call unequal number of protons and electrons?

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


What Does the number of protons always equal to?

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.
