What else can I help you with?
What would happen if the number of protons were to change in an atom?
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).
What would an atom Zn become if it gained a proton?
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 :)
How is the atomic mass changed?
When the number of neutrons changes, the atomic mass will change.
What would happen to the type of atom when the number of protons is changed?
It would become an atom of a different element. This can only happen during radioactive decay, nuclear fusion, or nuclear fission.
What would happen if one were to add a few protons to a neutron star would it become some sort of highly concentrated element?
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.
What happens if you change the number of protons of an element?
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. Although this reference doesn't really provide a direct answer, it does provide additional information that might be of interest: http://www.answers.com/topic/proton
How can an atoms of one element change into an atom of a different 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
How can one element change to another element?
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.

What information about subatomic particles is given by an element's mass number?
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.
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 would an atom Zn become if it gained a proton?
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 :)

Explain why the composition of an element is fixed.?
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.
What would happen to the type of atom when the number of protons is changed?
It would become an atom of a different element. This can only happen during radioactive decay, nuclear fusion, or nuclear fission.
What happen when you react an acid with an element?
it depends what element some may cause the element to change color others will make it fizz and others will do nothing
