Why does lithium change to beryllium if you add a proton?

Adding a proton to a lithium nucleus transforms it into a beryllium nucleus by increasing its atomic number. This occurs because the number of protons in the nucleus defines the element, and adding a proton changes the element to the one with the next highest atomic number.


What element has 3 protons 2 neutron and 2 electrons?

The type of a element is determined by the number of protons it carries. The element which have to protons is helium. An instance of the element with more electrons than protons, which makes it negatively charged, is called a anion or a negative ion. However, helium is one of, what are called, inert gases. The number of electrons in an inert gas is at the most stable number. It is quite hard to add or extract electrons from an inert gas. So without sounding absolute, He(-) is quite hard to come by.


What would be formed if one proton is added to the lithium atom?

Adding one proton to a lithium atom would create a beryllium atom because the number of protons would increase from 3 to 4. This change would make the element more reactive and alter its chemical properties.


How many protons added to the nuclei of oxygen atoms so it will glow red?

An oxygen atom can only have 8 protons. If you were to add any it would no longer be oxygen. But if you were to add 2 protons to it, it would become the element neon. When neon becomes ionized it glows a an orangy-red.


What happens when you add or remove protons in an atom?

Adding or removing protons in an atom changes the element itself, as the number of protons determines the atomic number. Adding a proton creates a new element, while removing a proton changes the atom into a different element. This process also affects the overall charge of the atom, as the number of protons affects the balance of positive charges in the nucleus.


What element do you get if you add two protons to an oxygen atom?

Let's see, 1hydrogen, 2helium, 3lithium, 4beryllium, 5boron, 6carbon, 7nitrogen, 8oxygen. Eight protons in one atom of oxygen. Oxygen is diatomic, so there would be 16 protons in a typical oxygen "molecule."


What happens if you change the number of protons of an element?

The element transforms itself into another element because each element have a specific number of protons. If the number of protons changes, the element changes as well. The number of protons in an atom defines it elemental identity, so if the number of protons in an element increases by one it becomes another element.

What elements have 2 protons in the nucleus?

Helium, number two on the periodic table of elements. Nothing else has two protons, for to remove a proton or add a proton is to change the element.


What is the mass number of an element that consists of 6 protons 6 electrons and 8 neutrons?

Just add the protons and the neutrons. The answer is 14.


What element particles do you add together to get the atomic mass?

Addition of number of protons and neutrons.Mass of Electrons is neglected.


How is an element with 56 protons and 82 neutrons related to an element with 56 protons and 78 neutrons?

They are both Isotopes of Barium. The 56 protons tell us that the element is Barium and when you add the neutrons with the protons you get barium138 and barium134. They are both stable isotobes of barium but of all the barium in the world about 72% is barium138 and 2% is barium134.


How do you find the atomic mass number of an atom of an element?

add the number of protons and nuetrons together
