Can the number of neutrons or electrons in an atom of an element change?
If you take a proton away from an element, the whole element will change. For example, you take away one proton from mercury, then you would have gold. People have tried this for many years but so for it's impossible. If you change the number of protons in a atom, it would change the whole substance.
How many protons and electrons does a chloride ion have?
Protons = 17, electrons = 18There are two isotopes differing in neutron number only :Cl-35 (75%) having 35-17= 18 neutronsCl-37 (25%) having 37-17= 20 neutrons
Can the mass number of the atom ever be smaller than its atomic number?
No. The atomic number only counts the number of protons or electrons in an atom, but the mass number counts at least the number of protons, sometimes the electrons and the number of neutrons if any. The closest they will get is being the same (Hydrogen with AN=1, MN=1), but the mass number will almost always be bigger than the atomic number.
What is the slowest rate of reaction ever recorded?
carbon reacts with oxygen
What is stable atoms?
First off, an ion is an atom that is either positively or negatively charged, meaning that it has more electrons than protons, or vice versa. Electrons are negative; protons are positive; neutrons are neutral, hence the name. Protons and neutrons are located in the nucleus, electrons are in a series of rings around the nucleus. A stable ion is simply an ion whose outermost ring is full. An easy way to visualise this is by picturing a Bohr diagram.
Do the number of protons in a specific atom ever change?
no. because if the number of protons changes, then the element changes
Can nitrogen ever have more than 6 protons?
No because the number of protons can not change. If it does it would then be Oxygen. Think of a proton as an id number or SSN.
Does the number of protons in mercury ever change?
No it NEVER EVER EVER EVER changes other wise it would be a completely different element like aluminum .
What atom has the atomic number 6?
You could look it up by just typing it into google (Just in case you ever need to know..) Carbon: C Atomic number: 6 (number of protons in nucleus) Atomic mass: 12.011 a.m.e. Mass number: 12 (=number of protons + neutrons in nucleus) Nonmetal

In an atom do protons ever equal to electrons?
Any atom with no charge, which is all atoms in their purest, most basic form, have the same number of protons and electrons. They only have different numbers after they have reacted with something else and formed compounds like salt (sodium chloride), water and carbon dioxide.
Is calcuim a mixture?
Only of isotopes. Calcium is an element. No mixture of chemicals can ever be a single element. The atoms of any element, such as calcium, always have the same number of protons and the same number of electrons. The number of electrons in an atom is the same as the number of protons in that atom. Different Isotopes of an element have different numbers of neutrons in the nucleus, but this doesn't change any of the chemical properties.
What can be determined if you know the atomic number of an electrically neutral atom?
The number of electrons can be determined if the overall charge and number of protons are known. If the charge of an atom is neutral, then how ever many protons it has it will also have that number of electrons.
Does your id number on your license ever change?
NO
Are protons ever involved in a chemical reaction?
Protons are not involved in chemical reactions.
Which two particles in an atom are equal in a number?
Under normal conditions, i.e. non-ionic, the number of protons is equal to the number of electrons.
