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.
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 subatomic particles could be changed without changing which element the atom is?
The element that an atom is is determined by the number of protons. The number of electrons can be changed (creating an ion), and the number of neutrons can be changed (creating an isotope), and as long as the number of protons does not change, the element that the atom is does not change.
What is the number of protons find in tungsten n?
74. Tungsten has the atomic number 74. This number always indicates the number of protons in the atom. The number of neutrons can change (isotopes), as can the number of electrons (ions), without changing the identity of the element, but with more or less protons it will no longer be tungsten.
Which subatomic particle matters most when determining the identity of an element?
The number of protons in the nucleus of an atom determines the identity of an element. This is because the number of protons uniquely identifies an element on the periodic table.
Which particles in an atom can increase or decrease in number without changing the identity of the element?
Neutrons

An element cannot be changed by any physical or chemical means because those changes do not affect the atom's number of neutrons?
This statement is incorrect. An element is defined by its number of protons, known as its atomic number. Changing this number would result in a different element. Physical and chemical changes can alter the arrangement of atoms in a substance without changing its fundamental identity as an element.
Can you alter the number of protons an element has without changing the element itself?
No. The number of protons is part of the fundamental characteristics of an element.
The number of protons in the nucleus determines the?
The element it is hydrogen has 1 proton, helium 2, by changing protons you change what element it is.
What is the identity of an element determine by?
The identity of an element is determined by the number of protons.
What is the identity of element of multiplication?
There is no such thing as an "identity of element". The identity element of multiplication, on the other hand, is the number 1.
Why do you think changing the number of neutrons does not create a new element?
Changing the number of neutrons in an atom affects its isotope but does not change its fundamental chemical identity. An element is defined by the number of protons in its nucleus (its atomic number), while isotopes have varying numbers of neutrons. Thus, changing the number of neutrons does not create a new element.
What subatomic particles could be changed without changing which element the atom?
You are probably referring to neutrons which are often found within the nucleus of an atom in numbers different from the protons. An atom of the element carbon, for instance, normally consists of 12 protons, 12 electrons and 12 neutrons. However, an isotope of carbon known as C13 consists of 12 protons, 12 electrons and 13 neutrons.
What is The property that allows us to add zero to a number without changing the value of the number.?
The fact that 0 is the additive identity.
Is 1 the identity element or a whole number?
1 is a whole number. It is the identity element with respect to multiplication but not addition.
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.
