*converts it to a different element
Removing a proton makes the atom negatively charged (called an anion because it would be attracted to the positive anode) - Adding a proton would result in a positive ion(called a cation). But addition and removal of protons is not really practical - it is an atomic reaction - Not only does it result in a charge but would change the atomic number and therefore what the element actually is!
What else can I help you with?
An atom can be changed into an ion by adding or removing?
Adding or removing electrons. Adding an electron will create a negatively charged ion (anion), while removing an electron will create a positively charged ion (cation).
Why doesnt the mass number change when electrons are added or removed?
The mass number represents the total number of protons and neutrons in an atom's nucleus. Electrons, which are negatively charged particles, have negligible mass compared to protons and neutrons. Therefore, adding or removing electrons does not significantly affect the mass number of an atom.
What would changing the number of electrons change in an atom?
Well, darling, changing the number of electrons in an atom would essentially change its charge. More electrons means a more negative charge, while fewer electrons means a more positive charge. It's like adding or removing toppings from a pizza - it changes the flavor, or in this case, the overall chemistry of the atom.
Why the addition of two electrons or removal of one electron requires more energy in oxygen atom?
Type your answer here... when adding an electrons to oxygen it needs more energy in electron affinity in order to attract electrons from other atoms to be stable.and we know that oxygen is in short of two electrons.so in the other hand when an electron is removed from oxygen it will be unstable and will be needing more ionization energy to be able to remove an electron to it.Thus mean indeed when adding or removing electrons for oxygen it requires energy.
An atom has 15 protons and 18 neutrons How many electrons does it have?
If the atom is neutral, then it will have 15 electrons to balance the 15 protons.
What is ionization of an atom?
Ionization of an atom is a simple process of which you convert an atom or molecule into an ion by adding or removing charged particles such as electrons or ions.
An atom can be changed into an ion by adding or removing?
Adding or removing electrons. Adding an electron will create a negatively charged ion (anion), while removing an electron will create a positively charged ion (cation).
Which would have more of an affect on the mass of an aluminum atom removing ten electrons or one neutron?
Removing ten electrons would have a larger effect on the mass of an aluminum atom than removing one neutron. Electrons have very little mass compared to protons and neutrons, so removing ten electrons would significantly decrease the mass of the atom. Neutrons contribute roughly the same mass as protons, so removing one neutron would have a smaller impact on the overall mass of the atom.
How does an atom get neutrally charged?
A neutral atom has an equal balance of Protons and Electrons. Protons are positively charged whilst Electrons being opposites are negatively charged. To change a neutral atom to a positively-charged atom can be done by either removing an Electron from the atom, or by adding a Proton. Removing 1electron would make the number of Protons > number of Electrons by 1 making the charge on the neutral atom change to +1. Adding a Proton, the same effect occurs. To make a neutal atom negatively-charged simply do the reverse and make the Number of electrons > number of protons.
What do electrons do in an atom?
They affect the charge of the atom.
Why doesnt the mass number change when electrons are added or removed?
The mass number represents the total number of protons and neutrons in an atom's nucleus. Electrons, which are negatively charged particles, have negligible mass compared to protons and neutrons. Therefore, adding or removing electrons does not significantly affect the mass number of an atom.

Does the addition of two electrons or removal of one electron require more energy for an oxygen atom?
when adding two electrons to the oxygen atom yep! it requires more energy because it has to take them from another atom so it will be removing an electron using more ionization energy to do the work.and we must remember that oxygen needs two electrons to attain its valency then it needs to take two from another atom to be fully filled and without the two electrons it will still lack electron to be stable.this means adding or removing requires energy.
What can be added or taken away from an atom to change the atomic mass?
The atomic mass of an atom can be changed by adding or removing subatomic particles. By adding or removing protons, neutrons, or electrons, the atomic mass will be altered. Changing the number of protons will change the element, while changing the number of neutrons will create isotopes of the same element.
Is the procedure by which an atom is given a net charge by adding or taking way electron?
The process by which an atom is given a net charge by adding or removing electrons is called ionization. When an atom gains an electron, it becomes negatively charged (anion), and when it loses an electron, it becomes positively charged (cation).
Is an atom that loses electrons have a negative charge?
No. Electrons have a negative charge and so removing one from the atom will give it a positive charge.
When adding electrons to an atom the resulting charge is?
Negative charge
