When an atom loses a proton it is normally because it has collided with a neutron or another atom. It would change the element from Carbon to Boron.

Hope this helps, i may not be entirely accurate ive only just begun studying this at A level.

The atomic number of boron is 5 what does this tell you about an atom of boron?

The atomic number of boron (5) indicates the number of protons in the nucleus of a boron atom. This means that a boron atom has 5 protons. Since atoms are electrically neutral, it also tells us that a boron atom has 5 electrons to balance the positive charge of the protons.


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.


Why is it not possible to determine the type of atom by knowing the charge of an atom?

The number of protons change the element name. For example, 2 protons is Helium. 5 protons is Boron. I know this is short, but I have to study for a bio test now so... bye... hope this helped

An atom of boron has 5 protons and 6 neutrons what is the mass number?

The mass number of an atom is the sum of the number of protons and neutrons in its nucleus. In this case, with 5 protons and 6 neutrons, the mass number of the boron atom would be 5 + 6 = 11.
