What else can I help you with?
The process by which the nucleus of an atom changes so that a new element forms is called?
The process by which the nucleus of an atom changes so that a new element forms is called nuclear transmutation or nuclear reactions. This process involves changes in the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus, leading to the formation of a new element with different chemical properties.
When an element's nucleus changes to that of a new element the process is called what?
"Transmutation" is the general term; this could also be called "nuclear reaction."
What does the number of elements tell you?
The number is called the element's atomic number. The atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus of the atom of that element.
What is the name of A chart that shows all the elements organized by the number of protons in each element's nucleus?
The chart is called the periodic table of elements, and elements are organized by their atomic number, which corresponds to the number of protons in the nucleus.
What is it called when all atoms of a particular type of matter are the same?
It is called an element. Elements are composed of atoms that have the same number of protons in their nucleus.
What makes the elements in the periodic table different from each other?
The number of protons in the nucleus or the number of electrons surrounding the nucleus. This number is also called atomic number of the element.
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.
Atoms that are the same kind is called?
Isotopes - atoms with the same atomic number, number of protons and number of electrons
Each element has been assigned a number what is it called?
The numbering arrangement of elements is called the atomic number. Atomic number determines the number of protons in an element's nucleus and defines its unique chemical properties.
What is it called when the atoms of one element break down to form atoms of another element?
Nuclear decay. Because the ratio of protons to neutrons deviate from 1:1 as you go down the periodic table, elements of higher mass are unstable, and therefore decay into more stable elements.
Is an element identified by the number of protons in its nucleus?
Yes. This is called an element's atomic number, and it is the key identifier for this element.
The number of protons in the nucleus of an element is called?
the answer is that it is called a atomic number.
