The particle in an atom that cannot change is the number of protons. If that changes, it is no longer the same element.
Nucleus
a charged particle if the atom is neutral before the change
The Atom is the smallest particle of an element that has characteristics of that element. The Atom consists of a certain amount of electrons, protons and usually neutrons. The amount of each of these sub-atomic particles is what makes an element into a Atom.
An atom is the smallest particle of an element that has the properties of that element. The atom consists of a certain amount of electrons, protons and usually neutrons. The amount of each of these sub-atomic particles is what makes an element. No Sub-Atomic Particles have any characterisitics of an element. It is the collective arrangement of electrons and protons (and usually neutrons) which gives an element its characteristics. An atom is the smallest particle that has elemental characteristics.
An iron atom is the smallest iron particle that still has the properties of iron.
This particle from the atom is the electron.
Nucleus
An atom.
Molecule, atom, elementary particle, quark.Molecule, atom, elementary particle, quark.Molecule, atom, elementary particle, quark.Molecule, atom, elementary particle, quark.
Protons have positive charge
a charged particle if the atom is neutral before the change
An atom is a particle, the smallest particle that can exist by itself.
The smallest particle of an element is called an atom.
The atom is the smallest known particle.
When it captures (not absorbs) electrons and becomes neutral the alpha particle becomes a helium atom.
In the atom the particle without electrical charge is the neutron.
The large amount of energy imparted upon it in a particle accelerator.
