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.

∙ 9y agoAn isotope of germanium with no neutrons or only one neutron (less than two) would instantly disintegrate in a flash of 32 independent protons traveling at a velocity closely approaching the speed of light. It would exist for such a short period of time that detecting it before it disintegrated would be impossible.

What atom consists of more or less neutrons than protons?
Tritium, also know as hydrogen 3, has 2 neutrons and one proton
What particle control the 'weight' of an atom?
The protons and neutrons, but not the electrons since they are about thousand times lighter than protons and neutrons.
What contributes to the most of the mass of an atom?
The majority of the volume in an atom is filled by the neutrons and the protons. Although the electrons do have a volume, they occupy significantly less space than the other two subatomic particles
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.
Over time what will happend to the nucleus of a radioactive atom If a radioactive atom emits an alpha particles them what is it emitting?
Alpha particle is the same as a helium-4 nucleus, i.e., two protons and two neutrons bound together. If an atom emits an alpha particle, it will have two protons less, and two neutrons less. Over time, there may be additional decay, which may further change the number of protons and neutrons.
What do you call a germanium atom with 2 less protons?
zinc If you change the number of protons, you change the element.
An atom with more or less neutrons is called a?
atomic number
Does an atom become more or less stable as it loses neutrons?
It can do either, depending on it's state previous to losing neutrons. Generally if an atom is shedding neutrons it is doing so to become more stable.
What atom consists of more or less neutrons than protons?
Tritium, also know as hydrogen 3, has 2 neutrons and one proton
The Atom boron Had 5 protons 6 neutrons 5 electrons it is now know as a?
Um. Atom? Element? If it has an equal number of protons and electrons, it has a neutral charge, so is not an ion. If it is not bonded to anything, it is not a molecule. You could call it an isotope of Boron, however this term is usually only used for less common isotopes, meaning atoms with different numbers of neutrons, and the atom with 6 neutrons is the most common isotope of Boron. Is there any more information in the question, or does anything happen to this atom?

What is the jobs of the neutrons?
gives the atom its Atomic Mass and stablisises the atom to keep the ratio of protons to neutrons equal... like if it wasnt in a close ratio the atom would be very unstable causing it to collapse and break. such as why the futher we get down the peridic table the less the atoms actually exist.
What particles make up the mass of the atom?
Protons and neutrons, the particles that make up atomic nuclei, are the ones responsible for almost all of the mass of an atom. As the electron has less than 1/1800th the mass of a proton, a whole flock of electrons won't significantly change the mass of an atom. We look to the protons and neutrons (called nucleons when they are being considered as components of an atomic nucleus) to contribute to the mass of an atom, and they will be considered when we derive the atom weight of an element.
What do you call an atom that has one less proton?
negatively charged ion.
