What element has 6 protons and 6 nutrons?
The element with 6 protons and 6 neutrons is carbon, which has the atomic number 6.
What happens when the number of protons in an atom change?
When the number of protons in an atom changes, the identity of the element changes because the number of protons determines the element's atomic number. If the number of protons changes, the atom becomes a different element. This process is called nuclear fusion or fission.
What is the same about all atoms of one elements?
They have the same number of protons.
Can If the number of protons in an atom were changed it would be a different element?
Yes, if the number of protons in an atom changes, it becomes a different element. The number of protons, known as the atomic number, uniquely defines each element on the periodic table. For example, an atom with 6 protons is carbon, while one with 7 protons is nitrogen. Therefore, altering the number of protons transforms the atom into a different element altogether.
Isotopes of a given element have what?
An isotope has same number of protons but a different number of neutrons as the original element in the atomic nucleus; it has the same atomic number as the element which isn't an isotope, but will have a different mass number. -atomic number
What element has 6 protons and 6 nutrons?
The element with 6 protons and 6 neutrons is carbon, which has the atomic number 6.
Where can you find a chart listing the amount of protons nutrons and electrons are in an atom?
All you need is the periodic table and a brain. The number of protons is the atomic number(located at the top left hand side of the square for each element) The number of nutrons is the the Atomic Mass minus the Atomic Number.
How do you calculate the mass number?
mass number= protons+nutrons
How is mass number obtain?
Sum of protons and nutrons
How do you find an element through its mass?
you would have to know how many protons, nutrons, and/or electrons are in the element. then you subtract the number from its mass and you get the other number. p=e=am.p+n=m.
Do protons of an element vary?
All atoms of the same element have the same number of protons. Atoms of different elements have different numbers of protons. The number of protons determines the element.
How many nutrons does zirconium have?
The number of neutrons for any given element varies, depending on the isotopes. Search the Wikipedia, or Google, for "Isotopes of Zirconium" for the isotopes of this particular element. The list of isotopes will give you the atomic mass (protons + neutrons) for the different isotopes; subtract the atomic number (which is the number of protons) to get the number of neutrons for each isotope.
Is the number of neutrons equal to the atomic number?
In an atom, the number of protons is always similar to its atomic number. (The number of nutrons may be similar or different.)
Atom of a particular element has a unique and characteristic number of these particles?
Each element has a unique number of protons. If another atom has the same number of protons as that element, it is the same element.
How many protons and neutron does a nucleus have?
The number of protons an atom has depends on which element it is. Every element has a different number of protons. And within each element, there will be a different number of neutrons, creating isotopes.
What happens when the number of protons in an atom change?
When the number of protons in an atom changes, the identity of the element changes because the number of protons determines the element's atomic number. If the number of protons changes, the atom becomes a different element. This process is called nuclear fusion or fission.
Atom of an element with a different number of protons?
This is not possible. The number of protons identifies an element, and all of the atoms of the same element have the same number of protons. The atoms of an element can, however, have different numbers of neutrons, and they are called isotopes.
