An isotope of helium will be formed.


What is the first istope?

The first isotope is deuterium, H-2, comprising a proton, an added neutron, and an electron.


What is hydrogen called when a neutron is added?

Hydrogen-2. That is hydrogen isotope 2. It is commonly called deuterium.


A neutron added to a carbon 12?

The carbon 12 isotope has six neutrons and six protons in the nucleus, hence, 12 nucleons in total.


If one isotope of carbon has 6 protons and 6 neutrons The number of protons and neutrons of a second isotope of carbon would be 6 and 6 7 and 7 6 and 7 or 7and 6?

It would be 6 and 7. Here is why.... The isotope is created when you add a neutron. Protons cannot be added or taken from an atom or it changes the element entirely. Therefore, if you have carbon (6 protons & 6 neutrons) and you add a NEUTRON, you now have the 2nd isotope of carbon. I am positive that you cannot add protons to an atom. The one I am most familiar with is hydrogen. Hydrogen has one proton & ZERO neutrons. If you add one neutron you have deuterium which is the second isotope of hydrogen. If you add two neutrons you have Trittium...... By adding neutrons you have different variations of the SAME ELEMENT! If you added protons to the atom you would have DIFFERENT ELEMENTS! Hope this helps.

What substance is changed to a new substance?

Any substance can be changed to a new one.Answ2. The above is wrong. Lead for example cannot be changed into nitrogen.If some of the nucleus of an atom can have a proton or neutron, added or subtracted, then an isotope can be created, though generally an isotope of the same element.Consider the decay of K40 into Ar40. This is a change of one substance into another.


Protons and neutrons added together is what?

A proton and a neutron added together would be Deuterium without an electron.


What happens when a neutron is added to a neutral atom?

well, since a neutron = 0 charge placed into a neutral which is has no charge, it stays the same.


How many protons neutrons and electrons make up an atom of nitrogen's 15?

Nitrogen 15 contains: 7 protons 8 neutrons 7 electrons "15" is added to the name because it is an isotope and contains inequal amounts of protons and neutrons (in this case, an extra neutron).
