What element has 3 protons 2 neutron and 2 electrons?

The type of a element is determined by the number of protons it carries. The element which have to protons is helium. An instance of the element with more electrons than protons, which makes it negatively charged, is called a anion or a negative ion. However, helium is one of, what are called, inert gases. The number of electrons in an inert gas is at the most stable number. It is quite hard to add or extract electrons from an inert gas. So without sounding absolute, He(-) is quite hard to come by.


What if you add one electron to the element having 9 protons and 10 neutrons?

Then it would have 10 electrons and it would have a charge of 1+.


What happens when you add or remove protons in an atom?

you cant add proton to an atom...u can only add electron....


How many protons added to the nuclei of oxygen atoms so it will glow red?

An oxygen atom can only have 8 protons. If you were to add any it would no longer be oxygen. But if you were to add 2 protons to it, it would become the element neon. When neon becomes ionized it glows a an orangy-red.


What happens if you change the number of protons of an element?

The element transforms itself into another element because each element have a specific number of protons. If the number of protons changes, the element changes as well. The number of protons in an atom defines it elemental identity, so if the number of protons in an element increases by one it becomes another element. Although this reference doesn't really provide a direct answer, it does provide additional information that might be of interest: http://www.answers.com/topic/proton


What element particles do you add together to get the atomic mass?

Addition of number of protons and neutrons.Mass of Electrons is neglected.


What is the mass number of an element that consists of 6 protons 6 electrons and 8 neutrons?

Just add the protons and the neutrons. The answer is 14.


How is an element with 56 protons and 82 neutrons related to an element with 56 protons and 78 neutrons?

They are both Isotopes of Barium. The 56 protons tell us that the element is Barium and when you add the neutrons with the protons you get barium138 and barium134. They are both stable isotobes of barium but of all the barium in the world about 72% is barium138 and 2% is barium134.


What element do you get if you add two protons to an oxygen atom?

Let's see, 1hydrogen, 2helium, 3lithium, 4beryllium, 5boron, 6carbon, 7nitrogen, 8oxygen. Eight protons in one atom of oxygen. Oxygen is diatomic, so there would be 16 protons in a typical oxygen "molecule."


If one isotope of carbon has 6 protons and 6 neutrons The number of protons and neutrons of a second isotope of carbon would be 6 and 6 7 and 7 6 and 7 or 7and 6?

It would be 6 and 7. Here is why.... The isotope is created when you add a neutron. Protons cannot be added or taken from an atom or it changes the element entirely. Therefore, if you have carbon (6 protons & 6 neutrons) and you add a NEUTRON, you now have the 2nd isotope of carbon. I am positive that you cannot add protons to an atom. The one I am most familiar with is hydrogen. Hydrogen has one proton & ZERO neutrons. If you add one neutron you have deuterium which is the second isotope of hydrogen. If you add two neutrons you have Trittium...... By adding neutrons you have different variations of the SAME ELEMENT! If you added protons to the atom you would have DIFFERENT ELEMENTS! Hope this helps.


How do you find the atomic mass number of an atom of an element?

add the number of protons and nuetrons together


How is the atomic weight of an element found?

you add the number of protons (the atomic number) to the number of neutrons
