What else can I help you with?
What would happen if a proton was added to a aluminum atom?
If a proton were added to an atom of aluminum, the atom would become a silicon ion with a single positive charge.
What would happen if carbon-14 gained 1 proton and lost 1 neutron?
If carbon-14 gained 1 proton, it would become nitrogen-14. This change in atomic number would make the atom of nitrogen chemically different from carbon. Losing 1 neutron would not significantly affect its stability or radioactivity.
Where in the atom would you fine a proton?
in the nucleus.
Give you a sentence using the word proton?
A proton is one of the particles in an atom. An example sentence would be: The scientist realized he was looking at the wrong proton.
If you added a proton a neutron and an electron to an atom would the atom still be the same?
no
What would an atom become if it lost or gained a proton?
a new element
What would an atom become if it gained a proton?
That would depend what the atom was to begin with. Adding a proton would increase the atoms atomic number by one, making it an atom of the next element on the periodic table. It would also increase the atomic mass, however the over all atomic mass of the resulting mass would probably not be equal to the most common mass of the new element, making it an isotope of the new element. If it did not also gain an electron, it would now have one more proton than electron, making it a positive ion. Adding a proton to an atom is called nuclear fusion, since it fuses two atomic nuclei together (the original atom and the proton, which is equivalent to the nucleus of a hydrogen atom.)
What do you call an atom that has gained or lost a proton?
An atom of a different element.
What would happen if a proton was added to a aluminum atom?
If a proton were added to an atom of aluminum, the atom would become a silicon ion with a single positive charge.
What would happen if carbon-14 gained 1 proton and lost 1 neutron?
If carbon-14 gained 1 proton, it would become nitrogen-14. This change in atomic number would make the atom of nitrogen chemically different from carbon. Losing 1 neutron would not significantly affect its stability or radioactivity.
What is an atom called if it loses a proton?
the number of protons in an atom is what determines which element the atom is. So if an atom "lost" a proton, it would become another element entirely.
Where about in an atom would you find a proton?
You can find a proton in the nucleus of the atom along with neutrons.
How can you find the correct number of electrons in the atom?
Often there are the same number of electrons as there are protons. Exceptions to this are called ions, which have gained or lost an electron (can't be a proton lost or gained, that would change the element).
If a proton was 1cm across how big would the atom be?
The answer for a hydrogen atom would be about 100 meters across a proton is about 1/10,000 th of the diameter of a hydrogen atom.
When the nucleus of a nitrogen atom absorbs a proton what element does it become?
Oxygen
Where in the atom would you fine a proton?
in the nucleus.
