What else can I help you with?
An atom of thorium loses 2 protons what element would be left?
Radium - 228.
What element does thorium become if it emits an alpha particle?
The nuclear reaction is: 232Th--------------- 228Ra + α
What is The number of protons in an atom of an element is the element's?
The number of protons in an atom of an element is equal to the number of electrons in that atom which is equal to that element's atomic number.
How many electrons does thorium -230 have?
Thorium 230 has 90 protons and 140 neutrons - the difference is 50.
When a neutral atom gains or loses electrons does its number of protons change?
No, when a neutral atom gains or loses electrons, its number of protons does not change. The number of protons in an atom determines its atomic number and identity as a specific element. Gaining electrons results in a negatively charged ion (anion), while losing electrons creates a positively charged ion (cation). However, the atomic structure and the element remain the same.

If an atom loses 2 protons what element would be left?
Well what element are you starting out with?
What is an atom called if it loses a proton?
the number of protons in an atom is what determines which element the atom is. So if an atom "lost" a proton, it would become another element entirely.
What is the number of protons and electrons in thorium?
Thorium's atomic number is 90. Thus, thorium has 90 protons per atom. To be electrically neutral then, thorium must also have 90 electrons per atom.
How many electrons are there in Thorium?
Thorium is a metal element. There are 90 electrons in a single atom.
Which element has 90 electrons as a neutral atom?
Thorium (Th).
An ion is formed when am atom?
An ions is formed when an atom gains or loses electrons.
What is The number of protons in an atom of an element is the element's?
The number of protons in an atom of an element is equal to the number of electrons in that atom which is equal to that element's atomic number.

Thorium 230 has 90 protons and 140 neutrons - the difference is 50.
If an atom loses an ion it has a charge of?
protons
