Atom of thorium loses 2 protons what element is left?
Radium
An atom of thorium loses 2 protons what element would be left?
Radium - 228.
What happens if an atom of a particular element loses a proton?
i turns into the element on the left of it on the periodic table
What happens when the number of protons in an atom change?
The type of atom is now different from what it was. (It has a new identity.)
What happens when an atom loses one or more electrons and retains the same number of protons?
This atom become a positive ion (cation).
If an atom loses 2 protons what element would be left?
Well what element are you starting out with?
Atom of thorium loses 2 protons what element is left?
Radium
An atom of thorium loses 2 protons what element would be left?
Radium - 228.
What element do you get when nitrogen14 loses a neutron?
Isotopic Nitrogen: still 7 protons, N(13).
What happens when you synthesis an element with 115 protons in its nucleus?
Ununpentium (Uup) has 115 protons.
What happens if an atom of a particular element loses a proton?
i turns into the element on the left of it on the periodic table
What happens to an atom if then number of protons change?
The number of protons determines the type of element that the atom is.One proton = hydrogentwo protons = helium.three protons = lithum.six protons = carbon.seven protons = nitrogen.eight protons = oxygen.etc.If you change the number of protons then you change the element
What happens when an atom gains or losses protons?
The element is completely changed
Does the atomic number defibe an element?
An element is defined by the number of protons present in the nucleus of the atom. The atomic number just happens to correspond with the number of protons.
What happens when the number of protons in an atom change?
The type of atom is now different from what it was. (It has a new identity.)
What is an atom called if it loses a proton?
the number of protons in an atom is what determines which element the atom is. So if an atom "lost" a proton, it would become another element entirely.
What happens in a nuclear charge when the starting particle changes its number of protons?
It changes the element! More protons more positive charge!
