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.
Will changing the number of electrons change the element?
Yes, changing the number of electrons will change the element. The number of electrons in an atom determines its chemical properties and behavior, so altering the number of electrons will result in the atom becoming a different element.
The number of electrons that must be added to or removed from an atom in a combinded state to convert the atom into elemental form?
The number of electrons that must be added or removed to convert an atom into its elemental form is determined by the atom's valence electrons. For example, carbon has 4 valence electrons, so it can either gain 4 electrons to achieve a full outer shell (as in CH4, methane) or lose 4 electrons to achieve a full outer shell (as in C4+, carbide ion).
1 In an electrically neutral atom the number of protons in the nucleus is equal to the number of?
In an atom, the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons in the nucleus of the atom. This only varies in ions, where electrons have been added to an atom or removed to create a full outer shell.
How many protons and electrons does Indium have?
Indium always has 49 protons and usually has 49 electrons, but the number of electrons can change in indium ions.

If you change the number of electrons you get a positive negative or neautraul?
That depends on how you change the number of electrons.
Do the number of electrons for an ion differ from its neutral atom?
no it doesnt
Why doesnt An atom has no electrical charge?
because the number of protons (which have a positive charge of +1) and the number of electrons (which have a negative charge of -1) are the same. when number of protons = number of electrons, overall charge = 0
The number of electrons that are added or removed from an atom in a combined state to convert it to an elemental form?
oxidation number
Will changing the number of electrons change the element?
Yes, changing the number of electrons will change the element. The number of electrons in an atom determines its chemical properties and behavior, so altering the number of electrons will result in the atom becoming a different element.
When an atom changes to cation what happens to the number of electrons?
Electron/s are removed from the atom.
How do the number of electrons change across the period of elements?
they get more electrons the farther right the get
How many electrons must be removed from a neutral 63Cu atom to completely ionize it leaving only a nucleus?
29 electrons must be removed from a neutral 63Cu atom to completely ionize it, leaving only the nucleus. This is because copper has an atomic number of 29, indicating the number of protons, which is equal to the number of electrons in a neutral atom.
Lithium Ion has how many electrons and protons?
When you say Ion you have to specify whether its negative or positive and the number associated with it. For example: if its Li 3- it means it has 3 more electrons then regular Lithium (which has 3 electrons) that makes it 6 electrons and 3 protons (this nr doesnt change) for Li 3-. Obviously calculations vary depending on the type of ion.
Why atomic number is expressed by protons and not electrons?
electrons change the charge of an atom, not the element itself.
The number of electrons that must be added to or removed from an atom in a combinded state to convert the atom into elemental form?
The number of electrons that must be added or removed to convert an atom into its elemental form is determined by the atom's valence electrons. For example, carbon has 4 valence electrons, so it can either gain 4 electrons to achieve a full outer shell (as in CH4, methane) or lose 4 electrons to achieve a full outer shell (as in C4+, carbide ion).
