What cannot change about an atom?
The number of protons can not be changed.
Why must the number of protons always stay the same in an atom?
if the number of protons changed, the atom would become a different element
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.
Is it possible to reverse the amount of protons and electrons in an atom?
The number of protons can not be changed in an atom, while the number of electrons can be.
Number of protons in a an atom of an atom?
The number of protons in an atom is its atomic number.
What particles is the atom formed of?
Atom is formed of electrons, protons and neutrons.
The atomic number of an atom is also equal to which quantity?
Firstly, an atom is uncharged by definition. If it is charged, that is it has gained or lost electrons, its name is changed to an ion. The atomic number is the number of protons of an atom of that element. And the number of protons is equal to the number of electrons.
What happens when the number of protons in an atom change?
The type of atom is now different from what it was. (It has a new identity.)
How do you get number of protons in a atom?
Atomic number of a atom is same as the number of protons of the same atom
The atomic number of an atom is equivalent to which of the following?
The atomic number of an atom is equivalent to the number of protons in its nucleus.
What is the particle that identifies a atom?
The number of protons in an atom's nucleus determines its chemical identity.
How is an atom changed when it loses an electrong?
The charge on the atom becomes positive because the number of electrons is less than the number of protons in the nucleus.
