Neutron has no charge
What else can I help you with?
Can the neutron number change?
Yes. Neutrons can change through radiation. The number of neutrons determines the isotope of the atom.
Will variations in neutrons change the identity of the element?
Yes, variations in the number of neutrons in an atom will change its isotope, but not its identity as an element. Isotopes of the same element have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons.
How manyneutrons in calcium?
A normal calcium atom should have 20 neutrons, but if it is an isotope the number of neutrons will change.
When Ca undergoes oxidation does the number of neutrons increase?
Of course not. No change in neutrons. Number of electrons decrease
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.
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 can be added or taken away from an atom to change the atomic mass?
The atomic mass of an atom can be changed by adding or removing subatomic particles. By adding or removing protons, neutrons, or electrons, the atomic mass will be altered. Changing the number of protons will change the element, while changing the number of neutrons will create isotopes of the same element.
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.
Neutrons add only to an atom?
Neutrons are subatomic particles found in the nucleus of an atom. They contribute to the overall mass of the atom but do not affect its chemical properties. The number of neutrons in an atom can vary, leading to different isotopes of the same element.
Does changing the number of neutrons affect what type of element it is?
No. You have to change the number of protrons.(Changing the number of neutrons changes the isotope of the element, but it is still the same element. However, changing the number of neutrons will often result in instability, causing a radioactive decay sequence, which often results in a change in element.)
What type of reaction results in the change of protons and neutrons?
radioactive decay
