Atoms are elements, while it matters what the elements are that are interacting, they can have a volitile reaction, like baking soda and vineger (both of which are compounds) , or they can combine and form a new substance. like water H20 2 hydrogen atoms combine with one oxygen atom to form water. But most of the time they will do nothing at all.

What happens when the number of protons in an atom change?

When the number of protons in an atom changes, the identity of the element changes because the number of protons determines the element's atomic number. If the number of protons changes, the atom becomes a different element. This process is called nuclear fusion or fission.

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

Adding or removing protons in an atom changes the element itself, as the number of protons determines the atomic number. Adding a proton creates a new element, while removing a proton changes the atom into a different element. This process also affects the overall charge of the atom, as the number of protons affects the balance of positive charges in the nucleus.
