If you mean a neutral atom (having no charge), the numbers of protons and neutrons can only change in a nuclear reaction. During a chemical reaction, the number of electrons can increase, resulting in a negatively charged ion, called an anion; or the number of electrons can decrease, resulting in a positively charged ion, called a cation. Whether an atom gains or loses electrons depends on which element it is.

What are the changes of protons nutrons and electrons?

Protons and neutrons are found in the nucleus of an atom and have approximately the same mass, while electrons orbit the nucleus and have a much smaller mass. Protons have a positive charge, electrons have a negative charge, and neutrons have no charge. Changes in the number of protons determine the element, changes in the number of neutrons result in isotopes, and changes in the number of electrons create ions.


How many protons electrons and neutrons do uranium have?

92 protons 92 electrons, 125 to 150 neutrons depending on the isotope (natural or artificial). For the natural isotopes of uranium: Uranium 238 has: 92 protons, 92 electrons and 146 neutrons.
