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.
Does the element change when the atomic mass changes?
No, the element remains the same even when the atomic mass changes. Atomic mass is determined by the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom, but changing the number of neutrons does not change the identity of the element.
What happens when the number of neutrons changes in a element?
a poopy
Why are there not isotopes with unusual numbers of protons?
If the number of protons changes so does the element, as the number of protons defines the element.
An element cannot be changed by any physical or chemical means because those changes do not affect the atom's number of neutrons.?
An element is defined by the number of protons in its nucleus, known as its atomic number. This number determines the specific properties and identity of the element. Any physical or chemical changes to an element do not alter the number of protons, and therefore do not change the element itself.
What detemines the identit of an element?
The number of protons it has in the nucleus. Number of electrons and neutrons can vary but if the number of protons changes, you have a different element. Number of protons is a constant in an element which never changes.

No, the element remains the same even when the atomic mass changes. Atomic mass is determined by the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom, but changing the number of neutrons does not change the identity of the element.
Do the number of protons in a specific atom ever change?
no. because if the number of protons changes, then the element changes

When neutrons are released from the nucleus it changes to what?
Isotopes of the element is formed when the number of neutron changes.

The part of an element that never changes is the?
The number of protons.
The atomic number is the same as?
The atomic number is the number fo protons in an atom's nucleus. It decides the element's position on the periodic table, as well as what the element is. No two elements have the same atomic number. As soon as the atomic number, or number of protons, changes, the element itself actually changes into a new element.
Can you form ions of the same element by changing the number of protons?
No. As the number of protons changes, the identity of the element changes and new elements are formed.Ions are formed only when electrons (and not protons) are gained or lost.
The number of protons in its nucleus mean?
The number of protons in the nucleus identifies the element. It is like a fingerprint for that element. No other element will have that same number of protons. As soon as the number of protons in the nucleus changes, so does the identity of the element change.
