What is an atom called if it loses a proton?
the number of protons in an atom is what determines which element the atom is. So if an atom "lost" a proton, it would become another element entirely.
A postively charged particle in an atom?
A positively charged particle in an atom is the proton. Protons are found in the nucleus of the atom along with neutrons, and they carry a positive charge equal in magnitude to the negative charge of the electron. The number of protons in the nucleus determines the atomic number of an element.
Explain why a neutral atom cannot have one proton one neutron and two electrons?
an atom with a neutral charge must have the same number of protons as electrons. (think of a proton as having a +1 charge and an electron having a -1 charge. in order for the atom to be neutral, the positive charges must balance with the negative charges) If the atom has 1 proton and 2 electrons, then the overall charge is -1
What is proton or atomic number?
A proton is a subatomic particle in the nucleus of an atom. Protons have a positive electric charge. The atomic number of an element is equal to the number of protons in the nucleus of one of its atoms. Therefore, if you change the number of protons in an atom, you change the element.
Is the atomic number the same as the proton number?
Yes. The atomic number tells how many protons and electrons are in the atom.
What is the atom number in a proton?
there are no atoms in a proton. a Proton is a part in the nuleus of an atom. the other parts of an atom are neutrons and electrons
What is an atom called if it loses a proton?
the number of protons in an atom is what determines which element the atom is. So if an atom "lost" a proton, it would become another element entirely.
What is the atomic number in the atom?
number of proton
Which element has the smallest number of proton in the atom?
The element with one proton per atom is hydrogen.
Which element has the smallest number of proton in its atom?
The element with one proton per atom is hydrogen.
What is the importance of proton number in an atom?
The proton number of an atom determines what element it is an atom of. That is, it determines the chemical properties of the atom. It does this because the charge on the neutron is neutral, which means that the total charge of the nucleus is equal to the proton number, which it turn means that the number of electrons in the uncharged atom is equal to the proton number. And that in turn determines which electron shells will be filled and what valence electrons available. In this context, the proton number of the nucleus is the atomic number of theelement.
What are positive particles in the atom?
Protons are the positively charged particles found in the nucleus of the atom.
What is the mass number of atom equal to?
proton
The number of protons in the nucleus of an atom is the of that atom?
Atomic number = number of proton in an atom Thus atomic number of an atom with 11 protons is 11.
What is the atomic number to a proton?
We don't use a atomic number for a proton. But atomic number is the number of protons an atom contains.
What does the atomic number indiacate?
Number of Proton(or Electron) in the Atom
What happens if an atom of uranium loses a proton?
If an atom of uranium loses a proton, it becomes an atom of an element with one less proton in its nucleus, known as an isotope of a different element. This change can alter the atomic number, mass number, and chemical properties of the atom.
