What elements, with more protons and neutrons than iron, are believed to have formed?

Elements with more protons and neutrons than iron are believed to have formed through processes like supernova explosions. These heavy elements, such as gold and uranium, are created in the intense conditions of these cosmic events.


Has the cl2 and br2 the same number of proton?

No, as they are composed of different elements they have different numbers of protons.


What is the fundamental unit of which elements are composed?

The fundamental unit of which elements are composed is the atom. Atoms consist of a nucleus made up of protons and neutrons, surrounded by electrons. Each element is defined by the number of protons in its nucleus, which determines its atomic number on the periodic table.


How are protons electrons and neutrons related to atoms?

Atoms all have a similar structure - they have a nucleus surrounded by one or more electrons. Each nucleus is made of protons and neutrons. All atoms of a particular element all have the same number of protons and electrons, and usually have the same number of neutrons too (although sometimes these differ) in all their atoms. Different elements have different amounts of these fundamental particles in their atoms. The first few elements (in terms of numbers of protons starting with 1, 2 3 etc) have numbers of protons, neutrons and electrons as follows: Hydrogen: 1 proton and 0 neutrons in the nucleus and 1 electron in orbit around it. Helium: 2 protons and 2 neutrons in the nucleus and 2 electrons in orbit around it. Lithium: 3 protons and 4 neutrons in the nucleus and 3 electrons in orbit around it. Beryllium: 4 protons and 5 neutrons in the nucleus and 4 electrons in orbit around it. Boron: 5 protons and 5 neutrons in the nucleus and 5 electrons in orbit around it. Carbon: 6 protons and 6 neutrons in the nucleus and 6 electrons in orbit around it. Nitrogen: 7 protons and 7 neutrons in the nucleus and 7 electrons in orbit around it. Oxygen: 8 protons and 8 neutrons in the nucleus and 8 electrons in orbit around it. So, the only difference between any of the elements e.g. oxygen and nitrogen is the number of particles in the atoms of each gas. Just as the words 'GOD' and 'DOG' represent totally different things despite being made of the same letters, all the elements in the universe from hydrogen to iron, from gold to tin are all different, look different, behave differently and so on, simply because, in their atoms they have different numbers of the fundamental particles, protons, neutrons and electrons.


What kind if particles make up elements?

Atoms of the same kind. To be more precise, all atoms in an element have the same number of protons (but not necessarily the same number of neutrons - do some reading on "isotopes" for more details).

How are elements determind?

Elelments are determined by the amount of protons they have. While different elements can have the same number of neutrons and protons, no two different elements can have the same amount of protons.

Elements with more than 92 protons are called?

Elements with more than 92 protons are called Transuranic elements.


How many protons and neutrons does boron-10 have?

Boron-11 has 5 protons and 6 neutrons. This is because each element has a specific number of protons in its atoms that never changes. Boron atoms always have 5 protons. And when the number of protons (5) is subtracted from the mass number (11), the result is the number of neutrons (6).


All synthetic elements have 92 protons?

This statement is incorrect. Synthetic elements are created in laboratories, and can have any number of protons. For example, elements like americium (95 protons) and seaborgium (106 protons) are synthetic.


Do atoms of different elements have a different number of protons?

Yes, atoms of different elements have a different number of protons.


What do different elements have different numbers of?

Different elements have different numbers of protons. The number of protons identifies the element.
