Can you form ions of the same element by changing the number of protons?
No. As the number of protons changes, the identity of the element changes and new elements are formed.Ions are formed only when electrons (and not protons) are gained or lost.
Cations form when an atom gains electrons?
Cations are positive ions, so an atom is supposed to lose electrons to become a cation. Anions are formed when an atom gains electrons.
What results in radioactive decay causes loss of one or more protons?
a new element is formed
How was hydrogen formed?
Hydrogen was formed shortly after the big bang when protons "captured" free electrons.
What element has 10 electrons when it form a cation with a 1 plus charge?
The element with 10 electrons when it forms a cation with a 1 plus charge is Neon (Ne). Neon has an atomic number of 10, which means it has 10 protons and 10 electrons. The cation is formed when an electron is removed from Neon, leaving it with 9 protons and 1 electron, giving it a 1+ charge. Neon's atomic number: 10 Neon's electrons when forming a cation: 10 Neon's protons when forming a cation: 9 Neon's charge when forming a cation: 1+

What are the elements that formed the calcium?
Calcium is an element, which means that it is made up protons/electrons and neutrons. Each calcium atom contains a total of 20 protons/electrons, and 20 neutrons.
What makes a compound and an element?
A chemical compound is formed from chemical elements.A chemical element is formed from atoms; atoms contain an atomic nucleus (protons and neutrons), electrons and...vacuum.
What are the three parts of element?
Electrons and the atomic nucleus; the nucleus contain protons and neutrons (which are formed from quarks and gluons).
How are monatomic anions formed from atoms in terms of protons and electrons?
Elements form monoatomic anions by gaining an electron.
What made the element carbon?
All the chemical elements contain atoms; and each atom is formed from protons, neutrons, electrons. The most abundant carbon isotope - 12C - has 6 protons, neutrons and electrons.
What do you get when the number of protons and electrons in your model is not equal?
Cations are formed if electrons are less. Anions are formed if electrons are more.
A lithium atom contains 3 protons 4 neutrons and 3 electrons. What would be formed if one proton is added to this atom?
As you already know the atom consists of protons, neutron and eletrons. The number of protons determins which chemical element it is, and on the periodic table of elements, we can see that the next element after lithium is beryllium.-An atom with 3 protons, 3 neutrons, and 3 electrons.- An atom with 3 protons, 5 neutrons, and 3 electrons
When a neutron star is formed what particle is produced by the combining of the protons and electrons?
When a neutron star is formed, protons and electrons are crushed, they collide and become neutrons.
What particles is the atom formed of?
Atom is formed of electrons, protons and neutrons.
Why cant a 3 ion of aluminum be made by adding 3 protons to an aluminum atom?
Ions of an element are formed when electrons are added or removed. When protons are added or removed, the element itself is different. Aluminium can form 3+ ion by losing three electrons. Besides, if it was possible to add three protons to aluminium, the species formed will be sulphur atom and not aluminium atom.
What is a charged particle because it had more or fewer electrons then protons?
Cations are positively charged ions formed when atoms lose electrons. So they have less electrons than protons. Anions are negatively charged ions formed when atoms gain electrons. So they have more electrons than protons.
