For one kind of atom to become another kind of atom which particles of the atom need to be expelled or gained?
It is very unusual for one kind of atom to become another kind atom, however it does happen in radioactive processes. Every element is characterized by a distinct number of protons. For example, all hydrogen atoms have 1 proton, all helium atoms have 2 protons, etc. Atoms also include electrons and neutrons. However, adding or removing electrons or neutrons does not change the kind of atom. For example, a helium atom with 2 electrons or 1 electron is still a helium atom. Alpha decay is an example of a radioactive process in which the number of protons changes (and therefore the kind of atom changes). An alpha particle includes 2 protons and 2 neutrons. When it is expelled from an atom, a new kind atom is formed. This occurs when a uranium atom (92 protons) is changed into a thorium atom (90 protons) + an alpha particle.
What would happen to an object if number of protons and electrons are not equal?
If the number of protons and electrons in an object are not equal, it will have a net charge and become an ion. If there are more protons than electrons, the object will have a positive charge; if there are more electrons, it will have a negative charge. This imbalance in charge can lead to interactions with other charged objects.
How does an object get a neutral charge?
An object gets a neutral charge when it gains or loses an equal number of protons and electrons, balancing out the positive and negative charges. This can happen through processes like friction, conduction, or induction, where electrons are transferred between objects.
What are pieces of energy known as?
Pieces of energy are known as particles. These particles can include photons, electrons, protons, and neutrons among others. Each particle carries a specific amount of energy depending on its type and properties.
What causes an atom to have a positive charge?
Atoms consist of three subatomic Particles (Nuetrons, Protons, and electrons) when an atom looses an electron which is negatively charged it makes that atom positive, when an atom looses a Proton it makes it negative since that proton had a postive charge it is no longer balanced between negative and postive subatomic particles
Do nuclear reactions involve protons and neutrons?
Yes, nuclear reactions involve changes in the number of protons and neutrons within atomic nuclei. This can result in the formation of new elements or isotopes, as well as the release of large amounts of energy.
Which symbol represents an atom with 13 protons 17 neutrons and 12 electrons?
There is an error in the question - this is not an element as it would have an equal number of protons and electrons. 13 protons means it is Aluminum -12 electrons would mean it was Aluminum with one positive charge - which just does not happen. 17 neutrons would mean it is a heavy isotope of Aluminum Al30 - question needs to be rechecked and corrected
The Atom boron Had 5 protons 6 neutrons 5 electrons it is now know as a?
Um. Atom? Element? If it has an equal number of protons and electrons, it has a neutral charge, so is not an ion. If it is not bonded to anything, it is not a molecule. You could call it an isotope of Boron, however this term is usually only used for less common isotopes, meaning atoms with different numbers of neutrons, and the atom with 6 neutrons is the most common isotope of Boron. Is there any more information in the question, or does anything happen to this atom?

When protons increase what happen to shells electrons?
In order to maintain, electrical neutrality, the number of electrons will also increase as the number of protons increases.
What happen to atomic number and mass number of nucleus when it emits proton?
Both get decreased as At. no = No. of Protons & At. mass = No. of protons + No. of neutrons in the nucleus.
What would happen to an object if number of protons and electrons are not equal?
If the number of protons and electrons in an object are not equal, it will have a net charge and become an ion. If there are more protons than electrons, the object will have a positive charge; if there are more electrons, it will have a negative charge. This imbalance in charge can lead to interactions with other charged objects.
What would happen to the overall charge if a material with a positive charge lost most of its protons and had more electrons than protons?
Its charge would be negative, since there would be more electrons than protons. However, there is no chemical process that can cause a sudden loss of a bunch of protons from the nucleus of an atom. Alpha decay can cause an atomic nucleus to expel an alpha particle, which consists of 2 protons and 2 neutrons, and there is such a thing as proton decay, but that is extremely uncommon.
Are neutrons and electrons held together by strong force?
Protons and electrons are held together in the atom through the electrostatic force of attraction. However, the electrostatic works between any particles, so it should affect protons and protons by making them repel each other and therefore blowing the nucleus of an atom apart. This does not happen because there is a second force at work; the strong nuclear force which (at separations larger than 0.5 femtometres to 3- 4 femtometres) is a attractive force which overcomes the electrostatic force of repulsion and therefore stop the atom being blown apart! hope this helps :)
What is the mass number of an atom of iodine with 76 nuetrons?
The mass number of an atom is determined by the number of neutrons and protons. Since you already know the number of neutrons, you just need the number of protons, then you can add them together. I happen to know that iodine has 53 protons, so that means that the mass number is 127.It is the protons and neutrons added together so when you add 53 and 74 you get 127! Hope that helped a lot!! :):):):):):):)
Can a proton be shared by two atoms?
No, a proton cannot be shared by two atoms. Protons are found in the nucleus of an atom and are tightly bound to the nucleus. They cannot be shared between atoms in a chemical bond. Chemical bonds involve the sharing or transfer of electrons, not protons.
What will happen if your planet gets sucked into a black hole?
Bend over and kiss your bum good bye - you are now becoming a part of a jumbled mass of electrons, protons and neutrons that no one can tell the difference between a tree and a dog.
