What else can I help you with?
When an atom has an unbalanced ratio of protons and neutrons what will it try to do to stabalize itself?
There generally isn't a problem; the more protons an atom has, the more neutrons it takes to glue them together. A Helium atom has two protons and generally two neutrons; in every other stable atom, there are more neutrons than protons. There are isotopes of elements with fewer-than-normal numbers of neutrons; these isotopes are generally unstable and radioactive, and will generally decay into other elements.
Does 12C have fewer neutron than 13C?
Yes. Both carbon atoms have 6 protons. However, the 12C atom has 6 neutrons while the 13C atom has 7 neutrons :)
When atoms have fewer or more neutrons than protns they are called?
Isotopes.
The total number of protons amd neutrons in the nucleus determines the atoms?
This is the "mass number" of the atom, indicating relative mass of an isotope.For example uranium-235 (235U) is a lighter atom than uranium-238 (238U) because while both isotopes have 92 protons (the atomic number), the first has 3 fewer neutrons.
What is An atom that has fewer neutrons than protons and more electrons than protons is a(n?
An atom that has fewer neutrons than protons and more electrons than protons is an anion. In this case, the excess of electrons gives the atom a negative charge, while the imbalance in the number of neutrons and protons does not affect its charge but indicates a specific isotopic form. The difference in neutron count can affect the atom's stability and properties but is not directly related to its charge.
Will an atom with more neutrons react identically to an atom of the same element with fewer neutrons?
Not always. Some atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons are radioactive, whereas the other atoms are not.
Why are some atoms are heavier than others?
some atoms are heavier than others as they have higher relative Atomic Mass, by which is equals to proton number + number of neutrons in an atom, according to the Periodic Table of the elements

Do all atoms contain proton neutron and electron?
yes, all normal atoms do, but there are things called ions and isotopes that have fewer or more electrons and neutrons
What gaseous element has 5 valence electrons and fewer neutrons than sodium?
The gaseous element with 5 valence electrons and fewer neutrons than sodium is Boron. Boron has 5 protons and 5 neutrons, while sodium has 11 protons and about 12 neutrons.
What element has fewer or more neutrons than protons?
The vast majority
Does 12C have fewer neutron than 13C?
Yes. Both carbon atoms have 6 protons. However, the 12C atom has 6 neutrons while the 13C atom has 7 neutrons :)
12C has one fewer proton than 13C?
Carbon 12 and carbon 14 are atoms of carbon, different isotopes of the element. Carbon owes its chemical identity, indeed, its elemental identity, to the number of protons in its nucleus. There are 6 of them. No more, no less. Carbon 12 has 6 protons and 6 neutrons. Carbon 14 has 6 protons and 8 neutrons. Carbon 14 has fewer protons than neutrons.

What is an atom with more or fewer neutrons than atoms of the same element?
An atom of a certain element with a different number of neutrons compared with the common form of the element is called an isotope. Isotopes have the same number of protons and electrons in an atom, but a different number of neutrons (which means that they have a different atomic mass number).
