What number never changes in a neutral atom?
The number of protons in the nucleus never changes in a neutral atom. This is because the number of protons determines the element's identity.
What happens when the number of protons in an atom change?
When the number of protons in an atom changes, the identity of the element changes because the number of protons determines the element's atomic number. If the number of protons changes, the atom becomes a different element. This process is called nuclear fusion or fission.
How are the number of protons an important aspect of the atom?
the number of protons determine what the substance is. if the number of protons in an atom change, the substance made of that atom changes too.
When the number of electrons in an atom changes what is the new atom called?
When an atom loses or gains electrons, it becomes an ion.
What forms if the number of neutrons in an atom changes?
Nothing happens to the number of neutrons nor protons. it's just the electron number that changes. If an atom gains electrons, it increases and the ion is negative and vice versa. the number of neutrons or protons DOES NOT CHANGE.
The mass number of an atom changes if its number of what changes?
neutrons

What happens when the number of protons in an atom change?
When the number of protons in an atom changes, the identity of the element changes because the number of protons determines the element's atomic number. If the number of protons changes, the atom becomes a different element. This process is called nuclear fusion or fission.
What is the different isotopes of an atom retain the properties of the atom?
Because the number of protons and electrons remain unchanged.
How are the number of protons an important aspect of the atom?
the number of protons determine what the substance is. if the number of protons in an atom change, the substance made of that atom changes too.
What particle in a nitrogen atom must remain the same in order for it to stay a nitrogen atom?
The atomic number for nitrogen is 7, meaning that it has 7 protons. In order for it to remain as nitrogen, the number of protons in it must always be 7. If, for example, the number of protons were to increase to 8, it would no longer be nitrogen; it would then be oxygen.
Do the number of protons in a specific atom ever change?
no. because if the number of protons changes, then the element changes
If the number of neutrons in an atom changes what is formed?
isotope
When an atom changes to cation what happens to the number of electrons?
Electron/s are removed from the atom.
When the number of electrons in an atom changes what is the new atom called?
When an atom loses or gains electrons, it becomes an ion.
What forms if the number of neutrons in an atom changes?
Nothing happens to the number of neutrons nor protons. it's just the electron number that changes. If an atom gains electrons, it increases and the ion is negative and vice versa. the number of neutrons or protons DOES NOT CHANGE.
What would happen to atom if the number of protons changes Neutrons Electrons?
If the number of protons changes, the atom becomes an entirely different element. Changing the number of neutrons creates isotopes of the same element, which can have different properties. Changing the number of electrons alters the atom's charge, turning it into an ion.
