The number of neutrons tends to increase with the number of protons in order to maintain nuclear stability. Protons are positively charged and repel each other due to electromagnetic forces, while neutrons provide an attractive force that helps to hold the nucleus together through the strong nuclear force. As atoms become heavier and contain more protons, additional neutrons are required to counterbalance this repulsive force and stabilize the nucleus. Consequently, heavier elements typically have a higher neutron-to-proton ratio.
What else can I help you with?
What happens to the mass number as you add more protons?
As you add more protons to an atom, the mass number, which is the total number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus, generally increases. Each added proton contributes one unit to the mass number, while the number of neutrons may also change to maintain stability. Consequently, as the atomic number (number of protons) increases, the mass number typically increases as well, reflecting the larger nucleus.
What trends do you notice about the atomic number and atomic mass as you move left to right across the table?
they increase by one going from left to right totally a guess
Is there a relationship between the number of neutrons and protons in the atom is so what type?
Atomic number = number of protons + number of neutrons Mass number = number of protons + number of neutrons
What is the name number tells you the amount of protons and neutrons in an element?
Number of protons + Number of neutrons = Mass number(number of nucleons)
How do you find the ratio of neutrons to protons?
The ratio of neutrons to protons in an atom can be calculated by subtracting the atomic number (number of protons) from the atomic mass (sum of protons and neutrons) of the atom. Mathematically, ratio of neutrons to protons = (Atomic mass - Atomic number).
What happens to the mass number as you add more protons?
As you add more protons to an atom, the mass number, which is the total number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus, generally increases. Each added proton contributes one unit to the mass number, while the number of neutrons may also change to maintain stability. Consequently, as the atomic number (number of protons) increases, the mass number typically increases as well, reflecting the larger nucleus.
What number increases in the periodic table?
The atomic number increases in the periodic table. The atomic number represents the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom, and it increases by one as you move from left to right across a period on the periodic table.
As the number of the isotopes of an element increases the number of protons?
Atomic mass increases with the ordered placement of the element of the periodic table. Conveniently, the number of protons, nuetrons and electrons also increase with numbered order on the table. Every element is assigned a number. This number is equal to the number of protons, nuetrons and electrons. I believe it's the nuetrons that make up the mass of the element, but not sure!
If the number of neutrons increase what happens to the mass of atoms?
Nothing. The number of atoms in a mole of any specified element is always the same, except for elements that form polyatomic molecules. However, the questioner probably meant "moles of atoms of an element"; if so, the number of atoms is always Avogadro's Number, 6.022 X 1023.
When protons increase what happen to shells electrons?
In order to maintain, electrical neutrality, the number of electrons will also increase as the number of protons increases.
How many protons neutrons and electrons in 40Ca plus 2?
I don't want to do your homework for you. Here's how you figure it out: Protons = atomic number Neutrons = atomic mass - atomic number Electrons = atomic number + ionization
Why does an atomic number increase?
If you mean looking at the next element on the table then the mass would increase. However, the atomic number is only the number of protons in an atom and is not a true indicator of atomic weight. Variations in Neutron count can cause differences in atomic weights.

What they do mass number?
Mass number is about the neutrons and protons. The total of neutrons and protons.
What are the number of protons neutrons and electrons in an element?
Number of protons = Number of electrons = Atomic number Number of neutrons = Atomic number - Number of protons
