Yes, but you have to take into account how clumsy the atom is for it to lose a neutron and how much of a kleptomaniac it is to steal one from another atom.
Hydrogen atoms have no neutrons because they are female and helium have two because they are male. Other elements have more neutrons because they are a freak of nature.
What else can I help you with?
Does a hydrogen atom have a neutron in its nucleus?
No, a hydrogen atom does not have a neutron in its nucleus. A hydrogen atom consists of only one proton in its nucleus.
What is the name for the subatomic particle in an atom that has no charge?
The subatomic particle in an atom that has 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.
How can you write neutron in a sentence?
A neutron is a subatomic particle found in the nucleus of an atom.
Particle found in the nucleus of an atom which carries no electrical charge?
That would be the neutron
What do an electron and a neutron have in common?
Both an electron and a neutron are subatomic particles found in an atom. They both have a negative charge, but a neutron has no charge.
When a beta particle is released from an atom does the atom gain or lose mass?
The atom loses mass when a beta particle is released because a neutron decays into a proton, electron, and antineutrino. The mass of the neutron is greater than the combined mass of the resulting proton, electron, and antineutrino.
What is it called when an atom gains or loses neutrons?
When an atom actually gains a neutron from outside it is called neutron capture. Atoms almost never emit neutrons (except when high energy processes happen). Most cases of "gain or loss" of neutrons by an atom happen entirely inside the nucleus, when the process of Beta decay converts a proton to or from a neutron.
Where do you find a neutron in a atom?
you can find the neutron in the center of an atom.
What is smaller an atom or an atom's neutron?
The neutron is a part of the atom, therefore it is smaller.
Can a atom exist without a neutron?
yes, H-1 atom has no neutron
CAN ATOM EXIST WITHOUT NEUTRON?
yes, H-1 atom has no neutron
CAN AN ATOM EXIST WITHOUTA NEUTRON?
yes, H-1 atom has no neutron
How can a charged atom attract a neutron?
A neutron has no charge, so a charged atom (ion) cannot attract a neutron.
CANAN ATOM EXIST WITHOUT NEUTRON?
yes, H-1 atom has no neutron
What happens when an atom gains or loses a neutron?
If this were to happen, which for most nuclei would be unbelievably unlikely, it would form a different isotope of the same element. I can't offhand think of any way a nucleus could gain or lose a neutron without something else happening at the same time. A neutron can change into a proton by emitting an electron (and an electron antineutrino), or a proton can absorb an electron and change into a neutron, but in both of these cases there's more going on than just the neutron number of the nucleus changing.
Does a neutron atom have as many neutrons as electrons?
There is no such thing as a neutron atom. A neuton is a particle that exists within the nucleus of an atom.
What is the heaviest particle in atom?
This particle is the neutron.
