What is the number of protons and neutrons called?
The number protons in an atom is called the atomic number (it is this number that tells us which element the atom is). The number of neutrons in an atom can change, but the term for the amount of neutrons is called an isotope. The number of protons and neutrons added together is called the atomic mass.
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 is the total number of protons and neutron's in an atom called?
mass number = protons + nuetrons
How are the number of protons an important aspect of the atom?
the number of protons determine what the substance is. if the number of protons in an atom change, the substance made of that atom changes too.
The protons in the nucleus of an atom is called the?
the no. of protons or the no.of electrons inthe nucleus ofan atom is called the atomic number of that atom.
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.
Number of protons in a atom is called?
the atom's "atomic number"
How is called the number of protons in an atom?
In a neutral atom, the number of protons is equal to the number of electrons. Therefore it is also equal to the atomic number of the particular atom.
The number of what in an atom is called the atomic number?
Protons
How can an atom be electrically neutral when its protons change?
Generally an atom contains similar number of electrons and protons. That is why an atom is neutral.
Is numbers of protons chemical or a physical change?
The number of protons in a nucleus is a property of the atom, not a change.
What is proton or atomic number?
A proton is a subatomic particle in the nucleus of an atom. Protons have a positive electric charge. The atomic number of an element is equal to the number of protons in the nucleus of one of its atoms. Therefore, if you change the number of protons in an atom, you change the element.
