Can the neutron number change?
Yes. Neutrons can change through radiation. The number of neutrons determines the isotope of the atom.
What causes isotopes?
An unstable ratio of protons and neutrons.
Neutrons add only to an atom?
Neutrons are neutral particles, so they donâ??t change the charge of an atom. They do however, change the atomic mass.
When Ca undergoes oxidation does the number of neutrons increase?
Of course not. No change in neutrons. Number of electrons decrease
How manyneutrons in calcium?
A normal calcium atom should have 20 neutrons, but if it is an isotope the number of neutrons will change.
Do all atoms contain at least one nuetron?
no, atoms don't have to have neutrons, neutrons are supposed to be neutral so it wont change the charge of the atom if you add or subtract neutrons from an atom. what will change is the mass number of the atom.
What does not change when an ion forms?
The number of protons and neutrons does not change when an ion forms.
Will variations in neutrons change the identity of the element?
False
What can be added or taken away from an atom to change the atomic mass?
Neutrons can be removed or added to change the atomic mass of an atom; a atom with the same amount of protons but different amounts of neutrons are called isotopes.(Taking or removing protons would change the type of atom and electrons do not have sufficient mass to change the atomic mass.)
Which particles that make up an atom are involved in nuclear reactions?
Protons, electrons, and neutrons are the subatomic particles that are involved in nuclear reactions.
How many neutrons does the isotope carbon have?
Most carbon atoms have 6 neutrons, but a small fraction of them have 7 neutrons (to make carbon-13 isotope atoms) or 8 neutrons to make carbon-14 isotopes. Radioactive carbon atoms with other numbers of neutrons can be made in nuclear reactions.
If there was an atom of this element that has 18 neutrons would it still be the same element?
Yes. Atoms with a different number of neutrons are called isotopes of that atom, but a variation in the number of neutrons does not change what the atom is.
