In chemical bonding, the number of protons remains the same. That's because the original elements involved in the chemical reaction remain the same as regards their nuclei. Nothing involving the nucleus of an atom is changed in chemical reactions. This differentiates chemical reactions from nuclear reactions, where changes in atomic nuclei are what makes a nuclear reaction a nuclear reaction.

∙ 13y agoIn a sense, yes, in a particle accelerator. However, in the end, the proton won't be a proton, and the electron won't be an electron. The quarks of the two can reassemble to create different particles.

∙ 10y agoThe number of protons in an element NEVER changes, look at the Periodic Table-- any change in proton count changes the element into something else. Neutrons by definition are neutral and have no charge so no function in bonding, they just make the element heavier. The only thing that changes is the number of electrons- either loss or gain.

∙ 14y agoNo, the only thing that happens in a chemical bond is electrons are re-arranged and shared. The protons stay the same.

What is a characteristic that best describes what happens during a physical change?
There are no chemical changes.
What happens to matter and the particles of an object during physical change?
The particles are affecting the form of a chemical substance and not turning into a new substance.
During photosynthesis what happens to energy?
Put simply it is converted from light energy into chemical energy (glucose).
What happens during diffusion?
Diffusion is the process in which particles seek equilibrium. They do so by moving to low concentration from high concentration.
Can matter be created or destroyed?
Matter can not be created or destroyed in a chemical or physical change. Which is known as the Law of Conservation of Mass. Matter can only be converted, this conversion happens during a chemical change.
What happens during the bonding of two amino acids?
Chemical Condensation.
Why did the protons did not participate during chemical bonding?
Chemical bonding only involves the outermost level of electrons, valence electrons. The actual reaction takes place far away from the nucleus of the atom where the protons are. There are reactions that involve the protons, though, but they are nuclear reactions, not chemical reactions. They are usually achieved through high-speed collision in labs.
Do Atoms of nonmetals lose one or more protons when they form ionic bonds?
No. Protons are not gained or lost during bonding. Only electrons are transferred in ionic bonding. Non-metals gain electrons to become negatively charged ions.
What are used to show what happens during a chemical reaction?
Scientific experiments are used to show what happens during a chemical reaction.
What happens during neutralization to the protons in an acid?
Protons are not affected. Acids and bases react and neutralise each other.
What is it called when different elements join to form a substance?
When different elements join to form a substance, it is called a chemical reaction or a chemical bonding process. During this process, atoms of different elements combine and rearrange to create a new substance with different properties. This can occur through various types of bonding such as ionic bonding, covalent bonding, or metallic bonding.
What are used to show happens during a chemical reaction?
CHEMiCAL SyMBOlS
What happens to chemical change during a chemical change?
when a chemical change occurs, chemical bonds are broken up
What happens between atoms during a chemical reaction?
This happens when atoms are rearanged
When Group 7A elements in a periodic table form ions they lose or gain protons?
The elements in group 7A or 17, gain one electron during ionic bonding, or share one electron when undergoing covalent bonding.
When Group 7A elements in a periodic table form ions do they lose or gain protons?
The elements in group 7A or 17, gain one electron during ionic bonding, or share one electron when undergoing covalent bonding.
When a substance changes into a different substance a change has occured?
Reactants form product(s) during a chemical reactions, generally by oxidation, reduction, hydrolysis, or chemical bonding.
