Isotopes have the same numbers of protons but different numbers of neutrons. One of the most common examples is carbon: C12 is the standard carbon atom, but C13 and C14, although still carbon atoms, have one or two extra neutrons.
The Proton number defines the element, so there cannot be two atoms of the same element with different proton numbers, because they will be, by definition, different elements. Neutron numbers can differ though. When one element has different neutron configurations, these are called Isotopes.
Hydrogen [H] has one proton. Its atomic number is 1 which is the number of protons. Also, the number of protons will always equal the number of electrons unless the element has a charge.
The emission of a Beta particle has the effect of decaying a neutron into a proton and an electron. This increases the atomic number and the electron is ejected energetically. The number of neutrons are decreased by one and the number of protons increase by one, changing the atom to a different element.
If you add a proton, neutron, and electron to a gold atom, you would obtain a new element called Mercury (symbol: Hg). This new element would have a different number of protons, neutrons, and electrons compared to gold.
the neutral or no charge particle of an atom:it is located in the nucleus;has the same mass as the proton.
Mass no-the no of proton=no of neutron
The name for it is Mass Number of an Isotope.
Only the neutron number is different, same proton and electron number.
Well, when two elements have the same number of protons, they are atoms of the same element. Each element has its unique proton number. If an atom has 1 atom, it is called Hydrogen. If it has 2, it is called Helium. If it has 20, it is called Calcium. However, the number of neutrons may differ. For example, in the case of Hydrogen, it may have no neutron, 1 neutron or 2 neutrons, and still be called Hydrogen. However, they are called 'isotopes', meaning members of the same element(same number of proton), but having different neutron numbers.
When a neutron -> proton, it is called a Beta - (minus) decay.
A neutron can change into a proton and an electron through a process called beta decay. This occurs when a neutron is converted into a proton via the weak nuclear force, which involves the emission of a W- boson that subsequently decays into an electron and an antineutrino. This transformation helps stabilize certain unstable isotopes by increasing their proton-to-neutron ratio. The overall effect is a change in the atomic number, resulting in the formation of a different element.
the decay of neutron into proton givesz small praticle called negative beta particle
A proton is a positively charged subatomic particle found in the nuclei of atoms. The number of protons an element has in its atomic nuclei is its atomic number, and defines the element. A neutron is a subatomic particle that has no charge and is also found in the nucleus of an atom. The number of neutrons in the nuclei of an element can vary. Atoms of the same element that have different numbers of neutrons, giving them different mass numbers, are called isotopes.

atoms had gained or lost one or more electron are called ions. so no. the number of neutron and proton don't change. unless it was isotope you are talking about. they have the same atomic number but different atomic mass, which means different number of neutron.
The masses of all three particles are different The masses of a proton and the mass of a neutron are very close, however. The mass of an electron is much smaller than the mass of a proton or neutron.
