How many electrons do an atom with an atomic number of 3?
if it is a netrual atom it will have 3 but if it is charged it will change
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.
How many protons and electrons are contained in an atom of element ruthenium?
An atom of ruthenium contains 44 protons and 44 electrons. This is because the number of protons in an atom determines its identity, and for a neutral atom, the number of protons equals the number of electrons.
Does the identity of an uncharged atom change when it becomes an ion?
No. It is still that element with its unique number of protons (atomic number), but the numbers of electrons and protons are no longer equal and it will form an ionic bond with an ion of opposite charge. This will form an ionic compound, whose properties are different from the individual elements of which it is made, but the elements themselves do not change.
How many electrons are found in carbon atom?
A single atom of Carbon has 6 electrons, with 4 in the outer shell which it will use to react
What happens if the elements have different protons and electrons?
A neutral atom of a chemical element has a constant number of protons and electrons; loss or gain of electrons transform this atom in an ion.After the change of the number of protons the identity of the atom is lost.
How many electrons do an atom with an atomic number of 3?
if it is a netrual atom it will have 3 but if it is charged it will change
Does an atom retain the chemical identity of an element?
An isotope is an atom that contains a different number of neutrons. In order for an element to change there has to be a different number of protons.
What subatomic particle gives you the atomic number?
Protons.The atomic number of an atom is the number of protons in the atom. The identity of an atom is based on its atomic number, so a change in the number of protons mean an atom has turned into a different element. However, an addition or subtraction of neutrons creates different isotopes of an element, and a change in the number of electrons creates an ion of the element.
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.
When a neutral atom gains or loses electrons does its number of protons change?
No, when a neutral atom gains or loses electrons, its number of protons does not change. The number of protons in an atom determines its atomic number and identity as a specific element. Gaining electrons results in a negatively charged ion (anion), while losing electrons creates a positively charged ion (cation). However, the atomic structure and the element remain the same.

How can a isotope change into a different element?
By changing the number of neuturons the atom is converted into isotope. As we know the atom is made up of electrons(negative charge),protons(positive charge) and neutrons(no charge),when we change number of electrons in an atom ions are created in the same way change in number of protons create change in the identity of atom and change in neutrons results isotopes
Do atom or molecules change identity when a change of state occurs?
yes
How many electrons are found in carbon atom?
A single atom of Carbon has 6 electrons, with 4 in the outer shell which it will use to react
What happens to the identity of the atom when an electron leaves the nucleus?
Electrons are not part of the atomic nucleus.
