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.
How are the number of protons an important aspect of the atom?
the number of protons determine what the substance is. if the number of protons in an atom change, the substance made of that atom changes too.
What cannot change about an atom?
The number of protons can not be changed.
When neutrons electrons and protons leave the atom what happens to the charge on the atom?
If neutrons, electrons, and protons leave the atom, the charge on the atom will change based on the number of protons and electrons that have left. Protons and electrons have opposite charges, so if electrons leave, the atom becomes positively charged, and if protons leave, the atom becomes negatively charged. Neutrons do not affect the charge of the atom since they are neutral.
What part of an atom must change for the atom to become a new element?
An atom must gain or lose protons from its nucleus to become an atom of another element. The number of protons, and to a much lesser extent the number of neutrons, will determine the chemical properties of an element.
What happens to an atom when the number of protons change?
It's Okay.
What happens to an atom if then number of protons change?
The number of protons determines the type of element that the atom is.One proton = hydrogentwo protons = helium.three protons = lithum.six protons = carbon.seven protons = nitrogen.eight protons = oxygen.etc.If you change the number of protons then you change the element

What is it called when the number of protons in an atom change?
The only way to change the number of protons in an atom is with a nuclear reaction.
How can an atom be electrically neutral when its protons change?
Generally an atom contains similar number of electrons and protons. That is why an atom is neutral.
Is numbers of protons chemical or a physical change?
The number of protons in a nucleus is a property of the atom, not a change.
What cannot change about an atom?
The number of protons can not be changed.
What is proton or atomic number?
A proton is a subatomic particle in the nucleus of an atom. Protons have a positive electric charge. The atomic number of an element is equal to the number of protons in the nucleus of one of its atoms. Therefore, if you change the number of protons in an atom, you change the element.
What do you get when you change the mass number of an atom?
You can't change the mass number of an atom because the mass number is the number of protons which is the atom's atomic number I hope this helped :)
Do the number of protons in a specific atom ever change?
no. because if the number of protons changes, then the element changes
Number of protons in a an atom of an atom?
The number of protons in an atom is its atomic number.
