Yes,
The only thing that is not allowed to change is the number of protons (Atomic Number). Many elements have a number of 'isotopes' meaning they occur with different numbers of neutrons in the nucleus.
For example, Atomic Number = 1, Hydrogen.
It has three isotopes:
The most common, with no neutrons (Hydrogen)
With one neutron (Deuterium)
With two neutrons (Tritium)
What else can I help you with?
If an atom is neutral the number of electrons and neutrons will be equal?
No, if an atom is neutral the number of electrons and protons will be equal. Neutrons have no charge and do not affect the overall charge of the atom.
Where are nutrons found in an atom?
Neutrons are found in the nucleus of an atom along with protons. They have no electrical charge and help stabilize the nucleus by adding mass without affecting the atom's overall charge.
If an atom has six protons and four neutrons. what is its charge?
The atom that has a Atomic Number of 6 in the periodic table - Carbon
How does the number of neutrons affect an atoms charge?
It wouldn't change the reaction rate etc. chemically. However, it would be physically heavier and if too many neutrons are added then the atom will become radioactive and unstable, using beta emission to stabilise itself. and i thank my wonderful physics teacher for teaching me that =]
Will an atom with 27 protons 32 neutrons and 27 electrons be electrically neutral?
Yes, the atom will be electrically neutral. This is because the number of protons (positive charge) is equal to the number of electrons (negative charge), balancing out the overall charge of the atom.
What is a partical in an atom with no charge?
A particle in an atom with no charge is called a neutron. Neutrons are found in the nucleus of an atom along with protons, which have a positive charge, and electrons, which have a negative charge. Neutrons help stabilize the nucleus and contribute to the overall mass of the atom.
Neutrons add only to an atom?
Neutrons are subatomic particles found in the nucleus of an atom. They contribute to the overall mass of the atom but do not affect its chemical properties. The number of neutrons in an atom can vary, leading to different isotopes of the same element.
Will an atom have a negative charge if it has more protons than nuetrons?
The neutrons do not affect the charge of an atom. The positive charge is on the proton the equal but negative charge is on the electron.If an atom has more electrons than protons it will have an overall negative charge.
What are particles in an atom called that have no charge?
Particles in an atom with no charge are called neutrons. Neutrons are one of the three subatomic particles found within an atom, along with protons and electrons. They are located in the nucleus of the atom.
What is the the charge in the nucleus of an atom?
The nucleus of an atom contains neutrons which have no charge and protons which are positively charged, hence the overall charge on the nucleus is always positive.
Where are nutrons found in an atom?
Neutrons are found in the nucleus of an atom along with protons. They have no electrical charge and help stabilize the nucleus by adding mass without affecting the atom's overall charge.
If an atom is neutral the number of electrons and neutrons will be equal?
No, if an atom is neutral the number of electrons and protons will be equal. Neutrons have no charge and do not affect the overall charge of the atom.
Does an atom have charge?
Yes, an atom can have charge. Atoms consist of protons, which have a positive charge, neutrons, which have no charge, and electrons, which have a negative charge. The overall charge of an atom depends on the balance of these particles.
What parts of an atom are electrically charged?
Protons are positively charged Electrons are negatively charged and Neutrons have a neutral charge the number of protons and neutrons are equal so the atom has no overall charge
If an atom has six protons and four neutrons. what is its charge?
The atom that has a Atomic Number of 6 in the periodic table - Carbon
How does the number of neutrons affect an atoms charge?
It wouldn't change the reaction rate etc. chemically. However, it would be physically heavier and if too many neutrons are added then the atom will become radioactive and unstable, using beta emission to stabilise itself. and i thank my wonderful physics teacher for teaching me that =]
When the central region of an atom where its neutrons and protons are?
The central region of an atom where its neutrons and protons are located is called the nucleus. Within the nucleus, protons carry a positive charge and neutrons carry no charge, contributing to the overall mass of the atom. The nucleus is surrounded by a cloud of electrons that orbit around it.
