What element has the same number of protons and neutrons in its nucleus as an alpha particle?
An alpha particle has 2 protons and 2 neutrons. That is the same as a helium nucleus.
What is the particle called that has an unequal number of protons and electrons called?
That is called an ion.
What particle control the 'weight' of an atom?
The protons and neutrons, but not the electrons since they are about thousand times lighter than protons and neutrons.
What neutrons are in an alpha particle?
A nucleon is the amount of protons and neutrons. An alpha particle has an atomic number of 2 and a atomic mass of 4 then it has 2 protons and 2 neutrons.There are 4 nucleons in an alpha particle.
A atom with a altered number of neutrons?
Two atoms with the same # of protons & electrons but different # of neutrons are called isotopes, which is what I assume you want. If the number of neutrons changes, and # protons increases, then there is a Beta - particle emitted. If # of protons decreases, then an alpha particle is emitted.
What is an atom which has unequal number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus?
Radioactive
The number of protons plus neutrons in an alpha particle?
2 protons and 2 neutrons. An alpha particle is the same as a helium nucleus.

What do you call unequal number of protons and electrons?
All atoms have the same number of protons and electrons, but an atom with a different number of protons and neutrons is called and isotope
Identify the subatomic particle used to define an element and explain why this particle is used.?
no i cant answer it
What is the change in the atomic number when the atom emits an alpha particle?
The atomic number will decrease by 2, the number of protons in the emitted alpha particle. An alpha particle is a helium-4 nuclei with two protons and two neutrons.
What element has 24 protons and charge of 3?
Any particle with 24 protons, despite the number of neutrons or the charge, is chromium.
How do i determine the daughter nucleus formed when a radon-222 nucleus emits a alpha particle?
First, you figure out how many protons and neutrons Radon-222 has. Find the atomic number - that's the number of protons. Subtract that from 222 to get the number of neutrons.From that, you subtract an alpha particle - i.e., 2 protons and 2 neutrons. Use the number of protons to look up the element. Add protons and neutrons to get the isotope number. As an alternative, since you don't really need the number of neutrons, you can just subtract 2 protons, and a total of 4 nucleids from the parent nucleus.
