Addition or removal or protons are nuclear reactions and dont take place under normal conditions.

If a proton is removed, the previous atom is formed. If a proton is added, then the next atom is formed.

Does the atomic number defibe an element?

An element is defined by the number of protons present in the nucleus of the atom. The atomic number just happens to correspond with the number of protons.


What effect produced by changing the number of neutrons in the nucleus of an atom?

What differentiates one element from another (like Hydrogen from Helium) is the number of protons in the nucleus. When protons are added (as happens in nuclear fusion) or subtracted (nuclear fission), the element transmutes into another element. When the number of Protons are changed, both the Electrons and Neutron (numbers) will change too. Protons are paired with electrons. Protons + Electrons = Neutrons, thus reinforcing that both the Electrons and Neutrons will change when the number of Protons has.


Why doesnt the number of protons change for a single element while the neutrons and electrons can?

The number of protons in an atom determines its identity as a specific element. Changing the number of protons would change the element. Neutrons and electrons can be added or removed without changing the identity of the element since they do not affect the element's chemical properties.


What happens when the number of protons in an atom change?

When the number of protons in an atom changes, the identity of the element changes because the number of protons determines the element's atomic number. If the number of protons changes, the atom becomes a different element. This process is called nuclear fusion or fission.


What happens to an atom if then number of protons change?

The number of protons determines the type of element that the atom is.One proton = hydrogentwo protons = helium.three protons = lithum.six protons = carbon.seven protons = nitrogen.eight protons = oxygen.etc.If you change the number of protons then you change the element

Why cant a 3 ion of aluminum be made by adding 3 protons to an aluminum atom?

Adding protons changes the element, creating a new element with a different atomic number. The element with 3 protons is not aluminum, so adding 3 protons would create a different element rather than a 3+ ion of aluminum.
