A atom with a altered number of neutrons?
Two atoms with the same # of protons & electrons but different # of neutrons are called isotopes, which is what I assume you want. If the number of neutrons changes, and # protons increases, then there is a Beta - particle emitted. If # of protons decreases, then an alpha particle is emitted.
What trends do you notice about the atomic number and atomic mass as you move left to right across the table?
they increase by one going from left to right totally a guess
What forms if the number of neutrons in an atom changes?
Nothing happens to the number of neutrons nor protons. it's just the electron number that changes. If an atom gains electrons, it increases and the ion is negative and vice versa. the number of neutrons or protons DOES NOT CHANGE.
Is there a relationship between the number of neutrons and protons in the atom is so what type?
Atomic number = number of protons + number of neutrons Mass number = number of protons + number of neutrons
What is the symbol of barium and number of neutrons?
The symbol is Ba. The number of neutrons equal the number of protons.
What number increases in the periodic table?
Both the atomic number and atomic mass. among many other things. They increase the atomic number because the atomic number IS the number of protons in an atom. They increase the atomic mass because the atomic mass is the number of protons + neutrons in an atom. Basically the main two things..
When protons increase what happen to shells electrons?
In order to maintain, electrical neutrality, the number of electrons will also increase as the number of protons increases.
Why does an atomic number increase?
If you mean looking at the next element on the table then the mass would increase. However, the atomic number is only the number of protons in an atom and is not a true indicator of atomic weight. Variations in Neutron count can cause differences in atomic weights.

As you travel down a group the do atomic size increases or decreases?
it increases: for the atomic number indicates the number of protons and neutrons in the atom; these are the weight carrying particles
As the number of the isotopes of an element increases the number of protons?
Atomic mass increases with the ordered placement of the element of the periodic table. Conveniently, the number of protons, nuetrons and electrons also increase with numbered order on the table. Every element is assigned a number. This number is equal to the number of protons, nuetrons and electrons. I believe it's the nuetrons that make up the mass of the element, but not sure!

What they do mass number?
Mass number is about the neutrons and protons. The total of neutrons and protons.
What is the symbol of barium and number of neutrons?
The symbol is Ba. The number of neutrons equal the number of protons.
The mass number of an element is equal to the total number of?
The mass number is the average atomic mass of all the isotopes that are found in nature.
