What subatomic particles could be changed without changing which element the atom?

You are probably referring to neutrons which are often found within the nucleus of an atom in numbers different from the protons. An atom of the element carbon, for instance, normally consists of 12 protons, 12 electrons and 12 neutrons. However, an isotope of carbon known as C13 consists of 12 protons, 12 electrons and 13 neutrons.


What is the difference between a proton electron and a nuetron?

Electrons have virtually no mass, are negatively electrically charged and are to be found orbiting an atoms nucleus in what are called electron shells. Protons and Neutrons are to be found the the atoms nucleus and they have mass. Neutrons have no electrical charge while Protons are positively charged. For every Proton to be found in an atom's nucleus, there is a matching electron in one of the electron shells so that overall the + and - electrical charges balance out. The number of protons in the nucleus of an atom determines what element that atom makes. Neutrons stabilize the atom's nucleolus by separating the + charge protons and their number may vary in an atom - a variation in the number of neutrons in the nucleus with a given number of protons gives rise to atomic isotopes. Neutrons also have no charge. Protons and Neutrons are located in the nucleus. Protons=Positive. Neutrons=no charge. Electron=E-=Negatively charge.


What is a particle of atom?

Sub-atomic particle is the proper term to describe your question. We generally know atom construct from proton, neutron and electron while proton is positron and neutron. To even smaller scale, it is the Quark that is the building block of the matter.


Do Electrons have weight?

Electrons have a mass of about 9.109389 * 10−31 grams.


Atoms located above the band of stability on a graph of numbers of nuetrons versus number of protons are usually unstable because they contain too many what?

Neutrons. Atoms located above the band of stability have an excess of neutrons compared to protons, which makes them relatively unstable. This imbalance in the ratio of neutrons to protons can lead to radioactive decay in an attempt to reach a more stable configuration.

Is a nucleus a smaller particle that makes up protons and neutrons?

no its not, protons and neutrons make up the nucleus and electrons orbit it


How do we know what makes up the atom?

An atom contain protons, neutrons and electrons.


What makes up the nucleon of an atom?

protons and neutrons....electrons are on the outer shells


Where the protons neutrons and electrons are in an atom?

In an atom- the protons and neutrons are in the nucleus(aproximately centre) which makes the middle positively charged. The electrons are around the nucleus. The electrons are attracted to the nucleus because the nucleus is positively charged.


Makes up protons neutrons and electrons?

Protons and neutrons make up the nucleus of an atom, while electrons orbit around the nucleus. Protons are positively charged, neutrons are neutral, and electrons are negatively charged. Together, these particles determine the chemical and physical properties of an element.

What atom had 26 protons 26 electrons and 30 neutrons?

Iron-56 or 56Fe 56 protons makes it iron. If you add the protons and neutrons, you find the mass, which is 56.


What makes atoms and elements alike?

both have a nucleus of protons and neutrons and outer orbits of electrons


Are neutrons the only particle that makes up the nucleus?

No, protons also make up the nucleus along with neutrons. Protons have a positive charge while neutrons have no charge. The number of protons determines the element, while the number of neutrons can vary within isotopes of the same element.


A positive two ion of calcium Ca would have how many protons electrons and neutrons?

A positive calcium ion (Ca^2+) has 20 protons, 18 electrons, and 20 neutrons. This is because the atomic number of calcium is 20, indicating 20 protons in a neutral atom, and losing 2 electrons makes it positively charged while the number of protons and neutrons remains the same.


What makes up the weight an atom or molecule?

The number of protons and neutrons controls the weight of an atom.
