If you change the number of protons, you change the element.

∙ 13y agoThe sodium ion has less electrons than protons whereas the sodium atom has an equal amount of protons and electrons
This is an atom of nickel-60, i.e. one of the less abundant isotopes of nickel.
5. If it is more or less than 5 protons then it is not boron.
Atoms are neutral as long as they contain the same number of protons as electrons. If there are more electrons than protons, the atom has a negative charge. If there are less electrons than protons, the atom has a positive charge.
Atoms are not always neutral.A neutral atom has the same amount of positively charged protons, and negatively charged electrons.If the atom has more or less electrons than protons, then it has a net electric charge, and is called an "ion".Atoms are not always neutral.A neutral atom has the same amount of positively charged protons, and negatively charged electrons.If the atom has more or less electrons than protons, then it has a net electric charge, and is called an "ion".Atoms are not always neutral.A neutral atom has the same amount of positively charged protons, and negatively charged electrons.If the atom has more or less electrons than protons, then it has a net electric charge, and is called an "ion".Atoms are not always neutral.A neutral atom has the same amount of positively charged protons, and negatively charged electrons.If the atom has more or less electrons than protons, then it has a net electric charge, and is called an "ion".
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.
Boron has more protons. It has 5, lithium has 3.
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.

Ion
There is nothing "fixed" or "written in stone" about an atom with 13 protons except one thing. If an atom with 13 protons is a neutral atom, it will have 13 electrons. But it might have more or less if it is ionized. The only thing that is certain about an atom with 13 protons, which is its atomic number, is that it is an atom of aluminum.
An ion. If electrons are in excess over proton then it is negative ion. And if less then positive ion
It means that the atom has more or less electrons than protons, making it either positive (less electrons than proton), or negative (more electrons than protons).
by the atomic number which determines the number of protons. a stable atom will have an equal number of electrons as protons. if there are more or less, it is an ion
The sodium ion has less electrons than protons whereas the sodium atom has an equal amount of protons and electrons
An atom is negative when there are more electrons which gives it that negative charge. An atom is positive when there are less electrons than protons.
