What would happen if one proton and one electron were removed from the entire atom?

Then it would become a completely different element, albeit a very unstable element in virtually all cases.
For example takes helium with 2 protons, 2 neutrons and 2 electrons. Take a proton and electron away somehow and you have 1 proton, 2 neutrons and 1 electron which is an isotope of hydrogen called Deuterium or also called 'Heavy Water when fused with oxygen which was what the Nazi's were using for fuel in WW2.

What will happen to the atom if one proton and one electron are removed?
You can't just remove a proton or an electron. But theoretically, it will become an atom of the compound just before it in the periodic table. For example, Oxygen will become Nitrogen.
Because a hydrogen atom does not contain a neutron hydrogen ions can be thought of as what?
a Proton. A hydrogen-1 atom (the most abundant isotope of hydrogen) has no neutrons and only 1 proton. So the atom is 1 proton and 1 electron. So the ion, when the electron is removed, the entire ion is just 1 single proton.
What would an atom be called if you removed a neutron and an electron?
proton (a particle)
What happen when you take way an electron and a proton?
I think you won't have a atom because the electron, proton and neutron is the basic part of the atom.
Can an electic charge be removed from a proton or electron?
No. Charge must always be conserved.
What happens to the charge of an atom if one proton and one electron are removed?
nothing, they both even out!
The ion that is a single proton?
H-1. Hydrogen has only one proton and electron; if this electron is removed a hydrogen ion is formed - effectively a proton.
What happens when the single valence electron of hydrogen atom is removed?
You are left with just a proton (99.985% of the time).
What will be the effect of the removal of an electron to the mass of atom?
As mass of elactron is very small as compare to proton and neutron So there will be no effect on mass if electron is removed
What are three subatomic paarticles in an atom?
Neutron, proton, electron.Neutron, proton, electron.Neutron, proton, electron.Neutron, proton, electron.
How big is a proton compared to a electron?
A proton is bigger than electron
How electron is converted into proton?
An electron will not decay into a proton by any means.
