I dont know why you are saying pair. Mercury has one more proton than gold in its nucleus so if you removed one proton from an atom of mercury it would then be gold.

What else can I help you with?
How many protons must boron have?
Boron has 5 protons.
What part of the atom has to stay the same for it to be the same element?
The sugar and phosphate group of nucleotides never change. There are four possible nitrogenous bases and thus it is the only part of nucleotides that can change.
All atoms of sodium must contain what?
All atoms of sodium must contain 11 protons in their nucleus.
What must be true of the number of protons and the number of electrons in an atom if the atom has no charge?
The number of protons must equal the number of electrons in an atom for it to have no charge. Protons are positively charged particles, and electrons are negatively charged particles. A balanced number of protons and electrons results in an atom with a neutral overall charge.
How many protons and electrons does a copper atom contain?
A copper atom contains 29 protons and 29 electrons. The number of protons in an atom determines its atomic number, which for copper is 29. As atoms are electrically neutral, the number of protons must equal the number of electrons.
How mamy electrons are in Mercury?
Mercury's atomic number is 80. That means it has 80 protons, all of which have a +1 charge. To keep it electrically neutral then, it must also have 80 electrons.
How many protons are in helium?
There will be two protons in a helium atom. Here we have to learn an important detail regarding the atomic number. Atomic number gives the number of protons in an atom. This number primarily decides the name of the atom. Thus, if atomic number is one then it will be named as hydrogen. If the number is found to be two, then that will be named as only Helium. There by a learner must concentrate on this atomic number to know about the atom. If 82 is the atomic number then he has to identify the atom to be lead. Same manner if atomic number is 92 then that atom has to be Uranium. What will be the number allotted for, say, sodium atom? 11 is that number as there are 11 protons in it. The familiar and costly metal is gold. How many protons will be there in a gold atom? The learner must know about this detail. That number meant for gold is 79 as there are 79 protons in it. If that number is increased by one ie if it goes to 80 then that element will be identified as mercury. Hence there will be a chance to change mercury into gold by simply taking only one proton from the nucleus of mercury atom.
How many protons must boron have?
Boron has 5 protons.
What part of an atom must change for the atom to become a new element?
An atom must gain or lose protons from its nucleus to become an atom of another element. The number of protons, and to a much lesser extent the number of neutrons, will determine the chemical properties of an element.
What property must be change to change an element into another element?
to make one element a different element, all you need to do is have a different number of protons
How do you change the fuel pump on a 1993 Mercury Villager?
It is located in the gas tank. The tank must be removed.
What part of the atom has to stay the same for it to be the same element?
The sugar and phosphate group of nucleotides never change. There are four possible nitrogenous bases and thus it is the only part of nucleotides that can change.
Is there a chemical reaction in the expansion of mercury?
If mercury expands because its temperature is increased, there is no chemical reaction; this is a physical change. If there is any chemical change in the expansion of mercury, it must be due to the formation of some new compound, so that at least part of what is expanding is not mercury any longer but is now something else.
Do the number of protons for an ion differ from it's neutral atom?
The number of protons must be the same for the neutral isotopes and for the ions of a given element. A change of the number of protons would change the atomic number and the identity the chemical species.
Why must there be a near vacuum in the tube of mercury barometer?
A near vacuum is necessary in the tube of a mercury barometer to isolate the mercury from atmospheric pressure fluctuations. This allows the mercury to accurately reflect changes in pressure without external interference.
What must be equal in a neutral atom?
Protons and electrons must be equal in a neutral atom because protons and electrons have equal but opposite charges.
How do you change the light bulb in the gear shift indicator on a 2002 mercury villager?
You must remove the instrument cluster to do so.
