Neutrons can be removed or added to change the atomic mass of an atom; a atom with the same amount of protons but different amounts of neutrons are called isotopes.
(Taking or removing protons would change the type of atom and electrons do not have sufficient mass to change the atomic mass.)
The atomic mass of an element is the relative mass of its atom as compared with the mass of a carbon-12 atom taken as 12 units.

The electrons in the atom.
no. atomic number will be same as the number of protons will not change for an ion and its neutral atom, but the number of electrons will vary.
Number of protons are taken. They are arranged by number of protons. Mendeleev arranged elements first according to atomic number
The element becomes a new element becuase the atomic number would change. For example if you added a proton to Hydrogen-atomic number 1, it would become helium-atomic number 2
The sum of protons and neutrons in an atom is called mass number.
The atomic mass of an element is the relative mass of its atom as compared with the mass of a carbon-12 atom taken as 12 units.

The atomic number of an atom does not change if the atom is converted into an anion or cation. The atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom, and this is not affected by the transfer of electrons that produces ionization of an atom.
The atomic number does not change when gamma radiation is emitted.
Atomic Number :- atomic number of an element is the number of protons present in the nucleus of the atom. (since atoms are electrically neutral the number of protons in an atom is equal to the number of electrons in an atom) Atomic Mass :- atomic mass of an element is the number which tells us how many times an atom of that element is heavier than an atom of hydrogen (whose atomic weight is taken as unity [1])
The electrons in the atom.
No, the atomic number remains the same when an ion is formed. The atomic number is determined by the number of protons in an atom, which does not change when an atom becomes an ion by gaining or losing electrons.
The atomic number increase with 1.
The atomic weight is taken as the average weight or mass of the different isotopes of the Same atom That exists in the different %age in our enviromenT
The number of an electron in a neutral atom is indicated by the atomic number, which is equal to the number of protons in the nucleus of the atom. In a neutral atom, the number of electrons is the same as the number of protons.
