A user is constructing an ionic bond between beryllium and chlorine and has reached the stage below What should the user do next?

A-transfer an electron from the beryllium atom to the chlorine atom B-tranfer an electron from the chlorine atom to the beryllium atom C-add another beryllium atom D-add another chlorine atom The answer is D. :) Good luck!!


What part of the nucleus did Rutherford add to the atom model?

He added the proton. He thought that the only particle in the nucleus was the proton. The neutron was discovered much later by Chadwick.


Which results in a more vaulable product - adding or subtracting protons from gold nuclei?

If you subtract one proton, you get platinum. If you add one proton, you get mercury. Platinum is considerably more valuable than mercury. If you add or subtract more than one, all bets are off. If you add enough, you get a transuranic element, which are much more valuable than gold.


How many protons dose Beryllium-9 have?

The element beryllium has an atomic number of four. All atoms of this Group 2 metal, regardless of which isotope we might consider, have four protons in their nucleus. And all beryllium atoms have a +4 nuclear charge.


What change the protons?

The idea is that if you add a proton to an atom when working with the periodic table then it changes the atomic number of the atom. However, if you are talking about actually changing the number of protons within an atom; there are proton accelerators that shoot protons at an atom to make it a highly charged particle that is very unstable. As far as decreasing number of protons, I do not believe there is a way to do so; however I may be wrong about that portion.

What would be formed if one proton is added to the lithium atom?

You'd end up with a charged beryllium atom (to which you'd need to add an electron to make it neutral).


What to add to beryllium to get beryllium sulphate?

How does the atomic mass change when a proton is added to its nucleus?

Since the atomic mass consists of protons and neutrons, adding a proton would add one unit to the atomic massguessing that the number of neutrons doesn't change.


What elements have 2 protons in the nucleus?

Helium, number two on the periodic table of elements. Nothing else has two protons, for to remove a proton or add a proton is to change the element.

What happens when you had a proton to the nucleus of an atom?

Im thinking you mean add instead of had? well when you add a proton it becomes a different element because each element has a different number of protons. When you add electrons or take away electrons they become ions. If the neutrons in the nucleus changes it becomes an isotope. To conclude, each element has its own unique proton count.


What happens when you add or remove protons in an atom?

you cant add proton to an atom...u can only add electron....
