What else can I help you with?
Can you form ions of the same element by changing the number of protons?
No. As the number of protons changes, the identity of the element changes and new elements are formed.Ions are formed only when electrons (and not protons) are gained or lost.
Is it possible to have carbon atoms with different numbers of protons?
No because the number of protons never changes or else the element changes.
Why doesnt the number of protons change for a single element while the neutrons and electrons can?
The number of protons in an atom determines its identity as a specific element. Changing the number of protons would change the element. Neutrons and electrons can be added or removed without changing the identity of the element since they do not affect the element's chemical properties.
How many protons are in the nucleus of an atom of Uranium - 238?
There are 92 protons in the nucleus of an atom of Uranium-238.
What happens to an atom if then number of protons change?
The number of protons determines the type of element that the atom is.One proton = hydrogentwo protons = helium.three protons = lithum.six protons = carbon.seven protons = nitrogen.eight protons = oxygen.etc.If you change the number of protons then you change the element
Do the number of protons in a specific atom ever change?
no. because if the number of protons changes, then the element changes
What happens in a nuclear charge when the starting particle changes its number of protons?
It changes the element! More protons more positive charge!
Why are there not isotopes with unusual numbers of protons?
If the number of protons changes so does the element, as the number of protons defines the element.
What detemines the identit of an element?
The number of protons it has in the nucleus. Number of electrons and neutrons can vary but if the number of protons changes, you have a different element. Number of protons is a constant in an element which never changes.
Can you form ions of the same element by changing the number of protons?
No. As the number of protons changes, the identity of the element changes and new elements are formed.Ions are formed only when electrons (and not protons) are gained or lost.
What happens when the number of protons in an atom change?
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.
Change color as they donate and accept protons?
When the number of protons changes, the elements changes. This could result in change in colour as a different mouth is formed.
What are the changes of protons nutrons and electrons?
Protons and neutrons are found in the nucleus of an atom and have approximately the same mass, while electrons orbit the nucleus and have a much smaller mass. Protons have a positive charge, electrons have a negative charge, and neutrons have no charge. Changes in the number of protons determine the element, changes in the number of neutrons result in isotopes, and changes in the number of electrons create ions.
What number never changes in a neutral atom?
The number of protons in the nucleus never changes in a neutral atom. This is because the number of protons determines the element's identity.
When an element transmutates the number of changes?
When an element transmutates, its number of protons change, which in turn changes its atomic number and chemical properties. These changes can result in the formation of a different element with different physical and chemical characteristics.
How are the number of protons an important aspect of the atom?
the number of protons determine what the substance is. if the number of protons in an atom change, the substance made of that atom changes too.
The part of an element that never changes is the?
The number of protons.
