You would have a different element. This is not something that is easy to do in practice. It's nuclear physics, not something that happens in the test tube.
It become another element.Changes of this nature occur in radioactivity,nuclear fission(reduction of proton) and in nuclear fusion(addition.eg-Two hydrogen atoms fuse together form helium as ocur in sun).
i think it would turn into gallium 65 isotope assuming the zinc is zinc 64. it would probably be an cation of 1+ charge. it is unlikely that something like this would happen in nature through. hope this helped :)
When the number of neutrons changes, the atomic mass will change.
It would become an atom of a different element. This can only happen during radioactive decay, nuclear fusion, or nuclear fission.
A neutron star already does contain a few stray protons and electrons, but that does not make it a new element. A true atomic nucleus is bound together by the strong nuclear force. A neutron star is held together by gravity and is composed of neutron degenerate matter.
The element transforms itself into another element because each element have a specific number of protons. If the number of protons changes, the element changes as well. The number of protons in an atom defines it elemental identity, so if the number of protons in an element increases by one it becomes another element.

By losing protons. Atomic number determines what kind of element it is. ---------------------------- This can only happen if the nucleus changes its number of protons because the nucleus is unstable and undergoes radioactive decay. As it changes it will emit some form of radiation
As elemental identity is determined solely by the number of protons in the nucleus of a given atom, the only way an atom can change its elemental identity is by changing the number of protons in its nucleus. It can do this by certain types of nuclear decay or by certain types of nuclear absorbtion.

You know how many protons and neutrons are present. You can also figure out what element it is if you happen to have a periodic table of elememts.
It would become a different element. It could become radioactive.

The composition of an element is fixed because each element is made up of a unique type of atom with a specific number of protons in its nucleus. This number of protons determines the element's identity, and any change in the number of protons would result in a different element. Therefore, the composition of an element cannot be altered without changing its identity.

it depends what element some may cause the element to change color others will make it fizz and others will do nothing
