Why can't sodium gain positive charge by aquiring a proton in it nucleus?

Elements are defined by the number of protons they have (their atomic number). If sodium "gained" a proton, it would become a magnesium atom. However, atoms cannot just "gain" and "lose" protons like it can electrons. Through nuclear decay processes, however, protons and neutrons can "interconvert." For example, a neutron can "turn into" a proton via beta decay.

The is the particle in the nucleus with a positive charge?
The nucleus of an atom has a positive charge. This is because the nucleus contains both protons, which have a positive charge, and neutrons, which have no charge. The electrons, which have a negative charge are found in the electron cloud surrounding the nucleus.
A subatomic particles that has a positive charge and tha is located in the nucleus of an atom.?
Proton has positive charge and is in nucleus of an atom. Neutron has zero charge and is also found in nucleus of an atom. Electron has negative charge and is found in cloud around the nucleus (electron cloud).
What has a positive charge and is located in the?
A proton has a positive charge and is located in the nucleus
What is the charge of a proton?
With relation to an electron the proton has a charge of -1, since the proton's charge is opposite of the electron's. However, the common notation of charge is relative to a proton's- therefore, it is more accurate to leave things in terms of a proton's charge. In terms of proton charge, a proton has a charge of +1.
What are charges of the 3 subatomic particles?
For the particles in atoms: Neutron: Charge: neutral Electron: Charge: negative Proton: Charge: positive
The is the particle in the nucleus with a positive charge?
The nucleus of an atom has a positive charge. This is because the nucleus contains both protons, which have a positive charge, and neutrons, which have no charge. The electrons, which have a negative charge are found in the electron cloud surrounding the nucleus.
What is the proton electric charge and location in an atom?
Proton has uni-positive charge and is found within the nucleus
A subatomic particles that has a positive charge and tha is located in the nucleus of an atom.?
Proton has positive charge and is in nucleus of an atom. Neutron has zero charge and is also found in nucleus of an atom. Electron has negative charge and is found in cloud around the nucleus (electron cloud).
What is positve charge?
the positive charge is the proton but the nucleus is considered as the positive charge
What has a positive charge and is located in the?
A proton has a positive charge and is located in the nucleus
What is in the nucleus of an atom and has a positive charge?
proton
What charge does the proton give the nucleus?
POSITIVE.
Why the charge of a nucleus of an atom is positive?
because a proton has a positive charge and a neutron has a neutral charge so the proton's charge is the one that gets named
Which particle in the nucleus of an atom have a positive electric charge?
The Proton is positive
What is a protron?
A proton is a particle that carries a positive charge.
What is the proton equal to in the atom?
The proton in an atoms nucleus has a positive charge. The nucleus of an atom contains protons an neutrons whilst the electrons "orbit" the nucleus and have a negative charge.
What is meant by proton?
the positive charge present inside the nucleus of an atom having charge+1 is called proton
