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.
One where the number of protons (+) equal the number of electrons (-). one were the proton cancels out the electrons Ex. -5 +5 makes 0 uncharged atoms
Electrons can influence an atom's chemical behavior by participating in reactions or forming bonds with other atoms. However, electrons alone cannot change the fundamental identity of an atom, as that is determined by the number of protons in the nucleus.
Well, when an atom undergoes radioactive decay, it can change into a different element. This happens because the nucleus of the atom becomes unstable and releases particles or energy to become more stable. So, while the identity of the atom may change, it's all just a part of nature's way of finding balance and harmony in the universe.
No, there is no requirement that the number of protons equal the number of neutrons. In fact, this gives rise to the various isotopes of a given element (Different isotopes will have different numbers of neutrons, while sharing the same number of protons). The number of protons is what generally defines an element. By being "uncharged" the atom is understood to have the same number of electrons as protons. Neutrons, being neutral, do not carry charge.
An uncharged atom of palladium has 46 electrons. This is because the atomic number of palladium is 46, which represents the number of protons in the nucleus of the atom. In a neutral atom, the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons.
yes
It is a neutron.
Neutron
it is a neutron.
yes
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.
Protons determine which element an atom is.
In an uncharged atom, the number of electrons is always equal to the atomic number, in this instance, 9.
The number of protons in the nucleus affects the elemental identity of an atom, whereas the number of neutrons does not affect which element an atom belongs to.
A Neutron

In the atom the neutron is uncharged.
