Why cant a 3 ion of aluminum be made by adding 3 protons to an aluminum atom?
Wiki User
∙ 11y ago
Ions of an element are formed when electrons are added or removed. When protons are added or removed, the element itself is different.
Aluminium can form 3+ ion by losing three electrons.
Besides, if it was possible to add three protons to aluminium, the species formed will be sulphur atom and not aluminium atom.

What happens when you add or remove protons in an atom?
you cant add proton to an atom...u can only add electron....
What is made up of only one atom and has a chemical symbol and cant be divided into simpler substances?
The atom of a chemical element.
How can you find the nucleus with no mass number?
you cant get the # of neutrons if there is no atomic mass because you have to subtract the atomic # from the atomic mass #. so there is no way that u can find the # of neutrons without the atomic mass it is needed!
What is the differences between a carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide?
Carbon dioxide is made up of 1 carbon atom and 2 oxygen atoms. Carbon monoxide is made up of 1 carbon atom and 1 oxygen atom. Carbon monoxide is flammable whereas carbon dioxide is used to extinguish fires.
Why is the carbon atom special to life?
The cabon atom is special to life because without carbon it would not be possible to form carbon dioxide (CO2), and without the ability to exhale CO2 and for plants to take in CO2 to produce oxygen, life will be unsestainable, and it will break the cycle between plants and other organisms (humans, animals, etc.)
How many atoms in PVC?
We make atomic number by number of protons in a atom. PVC is not single atom. We cant give it a atomic number.

The diameter of an atom is?
in the bottom Atomic nucleus is at the center of the atom.
How many number of protons and electrons for this atom or ion?
The atomic number tells you the number of protons. For instance oxygen has an atomic number of 8, and hence it has 8 protons. Electrons are slightly more complicated. In a neutral atom, the number of electrons is always the same as the number of protons. However, if the atom is charged (i.e. it is an ion), it may have more electrons than protons (negatively charged) or less electrons than protons (positively charged).
How do you determine the number of protons in the nucleus?
The number of protons in an atom determines the chemical identity of that atom. (And only that, by the way.) We use the atomic number to state the exact number of protons in all atoms of a given element. Hydrogen has the atomic number 1 because every atom of hydrogen has exactly one proton. Also, every atom with exactly one proton is hydrogen. Helium is atomic number 2, and the same thing applies. All helium atoms have exactly 2 protons, and all atoms with exactly 2 protons are helium atoms. To determine the number of protons in a given atom, look at which element it is and find it on the periodic table or on a list of the elements. Then find its atomic number, which will be the exact number of protons in every atom of that element.
What happens to the charges of an atom if the one proton and electron are removed?
Removal would cause the atom to change from an atom would change it into an atom of the element with an atomic number one less. Now what happens next? It depends on whether the isotope of the element you have just made is stable. If not it will undergo radioactive decay. (Note hydrogen would of course disappear if you removed 1 proton and 1 electron)
Why are atomic numbers listed as whole numbers?
The atomic number is derived from how many protons are present in the nucleus of an atom. Becaue you cannot have a fraction of a proton present in an atom, atomic numbers must be non negative integers.
What does the atom of nitrogen look like?
you cant see an atom!
What is a particable?
A particle is an atom which cant be seen by the naked human eye, everything is made up of: in solids; gasses and liquids. Each atom contains electrons, protons and neutrons, which is what gives each particle its properties. Solids tend to have more compact particles where as gasses have less.
How does a atom scream?
it cant stupid
