Which particle does not change in amount in an atom?

The particle in an atom that cannot change is the number of protons. If that changes, it is no longer the same element.


What subatomic particle is the atomic number equal to?

The number of protons equals the number of electrons.


Number of complete cycles in a second is a whole number where as it is not?

The frequency does not have to be a whole number. 3 cycles in two seconds is equivalent to 1.5 cycles per second so the frequency is 1.5 Hertz. That is not a whole number!


Does the length of the pendulum affect the number of cycles?

no. it affects the period of the cycles.


What term refers to the number of waves passing a specific point in a given amount of time?

The number of waves that pass a fixed point in a fixed amount of time is known as the "frequency".=====is called the Frequency of the waves (located on page 10 of the Penn Foster - Sound Study Guide)=====The number of waves that pass a given point per second is measured in units of Hertz (Hz). Hertz is a unit for cycles per second.The number of cycles that a wave completes in 'S' seconds is 'S' times its 'frequency'.


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.


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 happens to the atomic number when the nucleus releases a beta particle?

When the nucleus releases a beta minus particle the atomic number increase with 1.When the nucleus releases a beta plus particle the atomic number decrease with 1.


Frequency of a sound wave determines?

The number of cycles in a given time. :)


What particle consists of two protons and two neutrons it is the same as a helium nucleus release of a what particle by an atom decreases the atomic number by 2 and the mass number by 4?

an alpha particle


What subatomic particle detemines properties of an element?

This particle is the proton, equal to the atomic number.
