When a neutron star is formed what particle is produced by the combining of the protons and electrons?
When a neutron star is formed, protons and electrons are crushed, they collide and become neutrons.
How can element 92 become element 93?
It happens when a beta particle is emitted from the nucleus of the atom of element 92. Beta Particle is emitted when a neutron is converted to a proton.So atomic number that is , the no of protons increases by 1. Hence 92 becomes 93.
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.
How does a neutron become positively charged?
A neutron has a neutral charge. The atom itself consists of protons neutrons and electrons. Neutrons do not serve much purpose except holding the protons in the nucleus and making different isotopes. An atom can become positively charged if it looses an electron which originally carried a negative charge. If that atom were to gain an electron it would become negatively charged.
Why does the charge of protons electrons and neutrons become neutral?
Charge of electron is negative and charge of proton is positive and charge of neutron is neutral because it contains proton and neutron

What is the element that has the most protons of any element in group 18?
Radon (Rn) has the most protons of any element in Group 0 (18) with 86 protons. However, if or when Ununoctium is officially confirmed, that will become the element with most protons in that family, with 118 protons.

A lithium atom contains 3 protons 4 neutrons and 3 electrons. What would be formed if one proton is added to this atom?
As you already know the atom consists of protons, neutron and eletrons. The number of protons determins which chemical element it is, and on the periodic table of elements, we can see that the next element after lithium is beryllium.-An atom with 3 protons, 3 neutrons, and 3 electrons.- An atom with 3 protons, 5 neutrons, and 3 electrons
If the number of protons in an atom changes a new element is formed?
The changing of one element into another, called transmutation, involves a change in the nucleus of the atom. And the number of protons in the nucleus must change for one element to become another one. It is the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom that determines what element that atom is, and only a change in the proton count will herald the change of one element into another. The neutron count may or may not change in transmutation, but be assured that the number of protons will change.
Why must the number of protons always stay the same in an atom?
The number of protons in an atom determines its identity as a specific element. Changing the number of protons would result in a different element. Therefore, the number of protons must remain constant in order to maintain the stability and characteristics of the atom.
What would happen to an atom if the number of protons in the nucleus changed?
It would become a different element. It could become radioactive.
What the process by which an atom bombarded by a neutron becomes another isotope of the same element?
When an atom is bombarded by a neutron, it may absorb the neutron and become unstable. This can lead to the nucleus undergoing a process called neutron capture, forming a new isotope of the same element through nuclear transmutation. The new isotope may be radioactive and undergo radioactive decay to achieve stability.
When the nucleus boron-10 is bombarded with neutrons it absorbs a neutron and then emits an alpha particle How many protons does the resulting nucleus have?
The resulting nucleus has 6 protons. Boron-10 has 5 protons, and absorbing a neutron increases the atomic number by 1 to become carbon-11, which has 6 protons. The emission of an alpha particle (helium nucleus with 2 protons) leaves behind a nucleus with 6 protons.
