What else can I help you with?
The smallest particle of an element is called?
The smallest particle of an element is called an atom.
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 is the smallest piece of a chemical element called?
An ATOM!!!! An atom can be sub-divided in to protons, neutrons, and electrons.
What is a postivly charged particle in an atom called?
A positively charged particle in an atom is called a proton. It is located in the nucleus of the atom along with neutrons.
What is charged atomic particle of an atom called?
A positively charged particle formed from an atom [that has lost electrons] is called a cation.
What happens to he lithium atom when it reacts with fluorine atom?
When a lithium atom reacts with a fluorine atom, the lithium atom loses an electron to form a lithium cation and the fluorine atom gains that electron to form a fluoride anion. This results in the formation of lithium fluoride (LiF), an ionic compound.
What is called the smallest particle of an element that still retains the characteristics of that element?
This particle is the atom.
What is smallest particle of a element is referred to as?
This particle is called atom.
The nucleus of a helium atom is called?
The nucleus of a helium atom is called an alpha particle. The electromagnetic waves emitted by a nucleus are called gamma rays.
What is the basic particle of an element called?
The basic particle of an element is called an atom. Each atom is made up of protons, neutrons, and electrons.
What is the particle formed in lithium when loses one electron?
When lithium loses one electron, it forms a lithium ion with a +1 charge. This ion has the same number of protons (positive charge) as electrons (negative charge) in its nucleus, giving it an overall charge of +1.
What is the neutral atomic particle of an atom called?
The neutral atomic particle of an atom is called a neutron. Neutrons have no charge and are found in the nucleus of an atom along with protons.
