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.
When the number of neutrons is changed what is formed?
When the number of neutrons changes, the result is the formation of an ISOTOPE of that same element.
Does the element change when the atomic mass changes?
No, the element remains the same even when the atomic mass changes. Atomic mass is determined by the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom, but changing the number of neutrons does not change the identity of the element.
Does changing the number of neutrons affect what type of element it is?
No. You have to change the number of protrons.(Changing the number of neutrons changes the isotope of the element, but it is still the same element. However, changing the number of neutrons will often result in instability, causing a radioactive decay sequence, which often results in a change in element.)
How many protons and neutrons does a nucleus of an atom contain?
Each element has a different number of protons and neutrons. So it changes for each element.

What detemines the identit of an element?
The number of protons it has in the nucleus. Number of electrons and neutrons can vary but if the number of protons changes, you have a different element. Number of protons is a constant in an element which never changes.
When neutrons are released from the nucleus it changes to what?
Isotopes of the element is formed when the number of neutron changes.

How many protons and neutrons does a nucleus of an atom contain?
Each element has a different number of protons and neutrons. So it changes for each element.
When an element becomes a different isotope what feature changes?
only the number of neutrons
What subatomic particles could be changed without changing which element the atom?
You are probably referring to neutrons which are often found within the nucleus of an atom in numbers different from the protons. An atom of the element carbon, for instance, normally consists of 12 protons, 12 electrons and 12 neutrons. However, an isotope of carbon known as C13 consists of 12 protons, 12 electrons and 13 neutrons.
What is an atom called when the number of neutron changes?
An atom with a different number of neutrons is called an isotope of the original element. Isotopes have the same number of protons (and thus the same element) but different numbers of neutrons.
When one element changes into another the process is called and the number of changes?
It is - Transmutation, and Protons -
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.
