Adding protons would make it a different element. If Electrons were added to an atom, it would start behaving like another element. For example Fluorine would try to be more like Neon. All elements want balance, so they get as close in relation to these noble gases as possible by sharing, stealing, and giving up electrons

What happens when you change the number of protons electrons or neutrons?

You get a different atom. This happens to 238Uranium as it gives off alpha radiation (two protons and two neutrons).The Alpha particle is essentially a Helium nucleus. The substance remaining is no longer 238Uranium but has become 234Thorium.


What happens if the elements have different protons and electrons?

A neutral atom of a chemical element has a constant number of protons and electrons; loss or gain of electrons transform this atom in an ion.After the change of the number of protons the identity of the atom is lost.
