A lithium atom contains 3 protons 4 neutrons and 3 electrons. What would be formed if one proton is added to this atom?
As you already know the atom consists of protons, neutron and eletrons. The number of protons determins which chemical element it is, and on the periodic table of elements, we can see that the next element after lithium is beryllium.-An atom with 3 protons, 3 neutrons, and 3 electrons.- An atom with 3 protons, 5 neutrons, and 3 electrons
Are the number of protons always equal to the number of neutrons?
No, the number of protons and neutrons are not always equal in an atom. The number of protons determines the element's identity, while the number of neutrons can vary, leading to different isotopes of the same element.
What particles are in fluorine?
Fluorine is an element. Its atoms are made of basically 3 fundamental particles (as is an atom of every other element just with different proportions) called electrons, protons and neutrons. Fluorine itself is a pure substance and contains no other particles except Fluorine atoms.
What 3 elements make up chlorine?
Chlorine atoms consist of 17 protons, 17 electrons, and typically 18 neutrons in its most common isotope, chlorine-35.
What does a lithium atom contain?
A lithium atom contains three protons, three electrons, and usually four neutrons in its nucleus. The electrons occupy energy levels around the nucleus in a specific configuration.
