What is the number of protons in the nucleus or the number the electrons in the energy levels called?
The number of protons in the nucleus is called the atomic number and is equal to the number of electrons in a neutral atom.
What are the number of protons and electrons found in an element called?
the number of protons in an element is called the atomic number and there is no way to see how many electrons an element has.
How does a natural atom changes when the number of protons neutrons or electrons changes?
If you mean a neutral atom (having no charge), the numbers of protons and neutrons can only change in a nuclear reaction. During a chemical reaction, the number of electrons can increase, resulting in a negatively charged ion, called an anion; or the number of electrons can decrease, resulting in a positively charged ion, called a cation. Whether an atom gains or loses electrons depends on which element it is.
What is the particle called that has an unequal number of protons and electrons called?
An ion is a particle that has an unequal number of protons and electrons, resulting in a net positive or negative charge.
How does the number of valence electrons change as you go across the 2nd period of the periodic table?
the no. of electrons increses
If you change the number of electrons you get a positive negative or neautraul?
That depends on how you change the number of electrons.
What is the number of protons in the nucleus or the number the electrons in the energy levels called?
The number of protons in the nucleus is called the atomic number and is equal to the number of electrons in a neutral atom.
How can you find the correct number of electrons in the atom?
Often there are the same number of electrons as there are protons. Exceptions to this are called ions, which have gained or lost an electron (can't be a proton lost or gained, that would change the element).
What is the number of electrons in outer shell called?
The number of electrons in the outermost shell is called the valence electrons. These electrons determine the chemical properties of an element and how it interacts with other elements.
Will changing the number of electrons change the element?
Yes, changing the number of electrons will change the element. The number of electrons in an atom determines its chemical properties and behavior, so altering the number of electrons will result in the atom becoming a different element.
What are the number of protons and electrons found in an element called?
the number of protons in an element is called the atomic number and there is no way to see how many electrons an element has.
How do the number of electrons change across the period of elements?
they get more electrons the farther right the get
Why atomic number not change during a chemical reaction?
The atomic number is determined by the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom, which does not change during a chemical reaction. Chemical reactions involve rearranging electrons and forming new chemical bonds between atoms, but they do not alter the number of protons in the nucleus.
Why atomic number is expressed by protons and not electrons?
electrons change the charge of an atom, not the element itself.
What is the particle called that has an unequal number of protons and electrons called?
An ion is a particle that has an unequal number of protons and electrons, resulting in a net positive or negative charge.
What is the number of electrons in an atom called?
the atomic number (this is also the number of protons)
