What else can I help you with?
When the number of protons is changed in an atom what is formed.?
When the number of protons is changed in an atom, the result is the formation of a NEW ELEMENT.
What most likely happen when a carbon atom and oxygen atom combine?
a new element is formed! CO....assuming its one atom each.
When two elements combine to form a new substance is the new substance an element Why and why not?
No, the new substance formed when two elements combine is not an element. Elements are substances made of only one type of atom, while compounds are made of two or more different types of atoms chemically combined. The new substance formed from the combination of two elements is a compound, not an element.
How do the atomic number change?
The atomic number of an element is FIXED it can not normally be changed. However, if the element's atom is struck by an atomic particle or the element is radioactive then the composition of the atoms nucleus can be altered. Changes to the composition of the nucleus can cause a NEW element to be formed or indeed split the atom into two NEW smaller/lighter atoms.
Which component of the atom can change its identity to a new element?
Protons determine which element an atom is.
How can products of radioactive decay be a different element?
All the atoms of an element have the same number of protons in the nucleus of each atom. When the nucleus of a radioactive element such as Uranium splits into pieces, the "new" atoms formed have smaller numbers of protons in each atom.
What is the process by which the nucleus of an atom changes so that a new element is formed?
Nuclear transmutation is the process by which the nucleus of an atom changes, resulting in the formation of a new element. This can occur through radioactive decay, nuclear fission, or nuclear fusion, where the number of protons in the nucleus changes, leading to the creation of a different element.
If an atom of sodium combines with an atom of fluorine what is the new name of the new compound?
The new compound formed from the combination of a sodium atom and a fluorine atom is called sodium fluoride.
Scientists determine whether the atoms are formed are a new element or a new isotope or a element?
because they are mad
If the number of neutrons in an atom is changed does the atom become a new element Why or why not?
Changing the number of neutrons in an atom does not change the element it belongs to because the element is determined by the number of protons in the nucleus. Changing the number of neutrons would result in an isotope of the same element, not a new element.
Can you form ions of the same element by changing the number of protons?
No. As the number of protons changes, the identity of the element changes and new elements are formed.Ions are formed only when electrons (and not protons) are gained or lost.
What part of an atom must change for the atom to become a new element?
An atom must gain or lose protons from its nucleus to become an atom of another element. The number of protons, and to a much lesser extent the number of neutrons, will determine the chemical properties of an element.
