If neutrons, electrons, and protons leave the atom, the charge on the atom will change based on the number of protons and electrons that have left. Protons and electrons have opposite charges, so if electrons leave, the atom becomes positively charged, and if protons leave, the atom becomes negatively charged. Neutrons do not affect the charge of the atom since they are neutral.
Protons have a positive charge, neutrons are neutral, and electrons have a negative charge.
What differentiates one element from another (like Hydrogen from Helium) is the number of protons in the nucleus. When protons are added (as happens in nuclear fusion) or subtracted (nuclear fission), the element transmutes into another element. When the number of Protons are changed, both the Electrons and Neutron (numbers) will change too. Protons are paired with electrons. Protons + Electrons = Neutrons, thus reinforcing that both the Electrons and Neutrons will change when the number of Protons has.
Protons, electrons, and neutrons are the subatomic particles that are involved in nuclear reactions.
The atomic mass is the sum of the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus because protons and neutrons have a mass of approximately 1 atomic mass unit each. Electrons are much lighter and do not significantly contribute to the overall mass of the atom.

Gold (Au) has 79 protons, 118 neutrons, and 79 electrons.

Matter and change a small amount of matter in the universe. Matter has mass and volume and is made of atoms. (atoms have) protons neutrons and electrons. Protons neutrons and electrons are found in everything from (pen,book,bread,pillow case, etc.)
Aluminum has 13 protons and 14 neutrons in its most common isotope (atomic number 13), so in an aluminum ion with a +3 charge, it would have 13 protons, 10 electrons, and 14 neutrons.
The atomic mass is the sum of the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus because protons and neutrons have a mass of approximately 1 atomic mass unit each. Electrons are much lighter and do not significantly contribute to the overall mass of the atom.
Krypton has 36 subatomic particles, consisting of 36 protons and varying numbers of neutrons and electrons depending on the isotope.
the nucleus is made of protons and neutrons together. the protons have a positive charge and the neutrons have no charge [electrons circle the nucleus and have a negative charge]
The atomic mass of an atom can be changed by adding or removing subatomic particles. By adding or removing protons, neutrons, or electrons, the atomic mass will be altered. Changing the number of protons will change the element, while changing the number of neutrons will create isotopes of the same element.
Silicon-29 will have 14 protons, 15 neutrons, and 14 electrons. The number of protons and electrons is determined by the element's atomic number, which is 14 for silicon. The number of neutrons is calculated by subtracting the atomic number from the mass number, which is 29 in this case.
