Does lead isotopes have the same neutrons?

NO,each isotope has different number of neutrons why that? in isotopes the mass number is changed but atomic number(protons) still constant,thus the number of neutrons will be changed


If the number of neutrons in an atom changes what is formed?

isotope


How are istopes formed?

Isotopes are formed through variations in the number of neutrons in the nucleus of an atom


What is changed during nuclear change?

The make up of the nucleus concerned, ie the number of protons and/or neutrons. In the case of fission of for example U-235, two completely different fragments of the U nucleus are formed, with the same total number of protons (92) but fewer neutrons because some are emitted in the fission.


When neutrons are released from the nucleus it changes to what?

Isotopes of the element is formed when the number of neutron changes.


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.


If the number of protons in the nucleus is less than the number of neutrons in the neuleus what is the ion formed?

Actually, neutrons (because they have a neutral charge) are not involved in making an atom or molecule an ion -- only protons and electrons do that. So, the number of protons compared to the number of neutrons doesn't matter.


What do the protons and neutrons form?

Atomic nucleus is formed from protons and neutrons.


How many neutrons does a negative oxygen ion have?

8. When an atom becomes an ion, it gains or loses electrons. The number of protons and neutrons doesn't change. If the number of neutrons changes then the atom has changed into a different isotope.


What subatomic particles could be changed without changing which element the atom is?

The element that an atom is is determined by the number of protons. The number of electrons can be changed (creating an ion), and the number of neutrons can be changed (creating an isotope), and as long as the number of protons does not change, the element that the atom is does not change.


What particles is the atom formed of?

Atom is formed of electrons, protons and neutrons.


What is the symbol of barium and number of neutrons?

The symbol is Ba. The number of neutrons equal the number of protons.
