What do you call an atom that has one less proton?

An atom with one less proton is called an isotope of the original element. This change in the number of protons gives rise to a different atomic number for the element, affecting its chemical properties.


Why you prefer silicon atom as compared to germanium atom?

Silicon is preferred over germanium because it is more abundant, less costly, and has a higher thermal stability. Silicon also forms a better oxide layer, making it more suitable for integrated circuit applications. Additionally, silicon has better electron mobility and is less susceptible to thermal runaway compared to germanium.


How many protons does the second type of boron atom contain?

5. If it is more or less than 5 protons then it is not boron.


What atom has 28 protons and the atom has a mass number of 60?

This is an atom of nickel-60, i.e. one of the less abundant isotopes of nickel.


Why is a carbon a neutral atom?

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".

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.


Does a boron atom have less protons than a lithium atom?

Boron has more protons. It has 5, lithium has 3.


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.


What kind of atom has less electrons than protons?

anion


What atom has more or less electrons than it has protons?

Ion


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

An ion. If electrons are in excess over proton then it is negative ion. And if less then positive ion


What does it mean if an atom is said to be charged?

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).


Which particles account for almost all the mass of an atom?

Protons and neutrons account for almost all the mass of an atom. Electrons have much less mass compared to protons and neutrons.

How many protons could a stable atom with 90 neutrons potentially have?

A stable atom with 90 neutrons could potentially have a maximum of 90 protons, as the number of protons would have to be equal to or less than the number of neutrons for the atom to be stable.
