An atom can increase in neutrons through a process called neutron capture, where it absorbs a neutron from its environment, often occurring in nuclear reactions or during radioactive decay. In certain nuclear reactions, such as those in stars or during supernova events, atoms can also gain neutrons as a byproduct of fusion or fission processes. Additionally, artificial methods, like those used in nuclear reactors, can facilitate the addition of neutrons to specific isotopes.
What else can I help you with?
Which particles in an atom can increase or decrease in number without changing the identity of the element?
Neutrons
How many neutrons are in an atom with z28 A59?
To find the number of neutrons in an atom, you can use the formula: neutrons = mass number (A) - atomic number (Z). For the atom with Z = 28 and A = 59, the number of neutrons would be 59 - 28 = 31. Therefore, this atom has 31 neutrons.
In a magnesium atom where are the protons and neutrons?
In an atom protons and neutrons are located in the atomic nucleus.
How many neutrons does a stable atom of Zn have?
A stable atom of Zinc (Zn) typically has 34 neutrons.
Which of the following particles is used to determine the mass of an atom?
Mass of an atom is determined by the no. of protons+ no. of neutrons in the atom.
Which particles in an atom can increase or decrease in number without changing the identity of the element?
Neutrons
Where are protons and neutrons in an atom?
protons and neutrons are located in the atom's nucleus.
If the number of neutrons increase what happens to the mass of atoms?
Nothing. The number of atoms in a mole of any specified element is always the same, except for elements that form polyatomic molecules. However, the questioner probably meant "moles of atoms of an element"; if so, the number of atoms is always Avogadro's Number, 6.022 X 1023.
Where in the atom are neutrons?
Neutrons can be found in the centre of the atom (the nucleus), along with protons.
How many neutrons are in an atom I?
A typical atom of iodine contains 74 neutrons.
Does the amount of empty space in an atom increase with more neutrons?
The atom is almost entirely empty space. Electrons are almost not even particles, they're so small and so often behave like waves, and the nucleus (where the protons and neutrons are) is only 1/10000 of the atom. The size of a given element is mostly controlled by two things: the number of energy levels that contain electrons, and the total number of protons pulling at the number of electrons. Because neutrons have no charge, they have little effect on the size of the atom.
Where protons and neutrons in an atom?
there is no atom
How many number neutrons magnesium?
A stable magnesium atom has 12, 13 or 14 neutrons. The atom with 12 neutrons is the most common one.
