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.
Can an atom gain or lose protons why or why not?
No, an atom cannot gain or lose protons. Protons are the positively charged particles within the nucleus of an atom, and changing the number of protons would change the atom's identity. However, atoms can gain or lose electrons, which affects their charge but not their identity.
What results after an atom gains electrons?
Electrons have a positive charge and protons have a negative charge. An atom's nucleus is 99.95% of its weight. When an object gains more electrons, it gains a negative charge that over comes the positive charge. This only happens when there are more electrons than protons.
What happens to the atoms in an object to generate a charge imbalance when it is rubbed with a duster?
When an object is rubbed with a duster, some of the atoms in the object lose or gain electrons through the friction of the rubbing process. This imbalance of electrons creates a charge difference between the object and the duster, leading to the generation of static electricity.
What happens when an atom as more protons and neutrons?

How does an object gain a negative charge?
An object gains a negative charge by gaining an excess of electrons. When an object either gains electrons from another object or loses protons, it can become negatively charged.
An object becomes charged when the atoms in the object gain or lose what?
An object becomes charged when the atoms in the object gain or lose? A) protons B) neutrons C) electrons D)All of the above Answer (1) - Wrong My answer is most definitely D) All Of Above Answer (2) - Right A) and B) because if we assume an object to be neutral at first then if we lose a proton (positively charged) the object becomes negatively charged, if we lose an electron (negatively charged) the object becomes positively charged. Neutrons have no net charge (neutrally charged) so if we take on away nothing happens.
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.
When a negatively charged object touches a neutral object does the neutral object gain or lose electrons or protons?
When a negatively charged object touches a neutral object, electrons transfer from the negatively charged object to the neutral object, causing the neutral object to gain electrons. This results in the neutral object becoming negatively charged.
What is loss or gain of protons called?
Alpha decay release a helium nucleus (2 protons and 2 nutrons).
What can you say about the number of protons and electrons on a neutral object?
The numbers of protons and of electrons in a neutral object are the same.
What is an object that is positively charge?
If an object has an unequal number of protons and electrons, then the object becomes electrically charged. An object that is positively charged has more protons than electrons.
Do atoms lose protons but seldom lose or gain electrons?
Atoms typically do not lose protons because that would change the identity of the element. Instead, atoms can lose or gain electrons to form ions with a different charge. Protons are not generally lost by atoms in chemical reactions.
Does a positive atom gain protons?
no, it looses them
What kind of charge does an object have if it has more protons than electrons?
The " object " would have a positive charge because protons are positively charged./
What is nagatively charged object?
object with more no. of electrons than protons in it.....
What happens to an object charged by induction?
When an object is charged by induction, it becomes polarized due to the redistribution of charges. The object does not gain or lose a net charge, but develops regions of positive and negative charge. If the inducing object is removed, the polarization disappears.
