Nitrogen
Explanation:
Adding one proton to a carbon atom makes Nitrogen.
A quick introspection on atoms:
- An atom is made up of three fundamental particles.
- They are protons, neutrons and electrons.
- The protons are positively charged and the neutrons do not carry any charges.
- Electrons are negatively charged.
The difference between an atom and another is the number of protons in them. This is the atomic number.
The periodic table of element is a list of elements arranged based on the number of protons they have. Every element on the table has unique number of protons which makes it differ from another.
- Atoms do not readily lose their protons because they are held by nuclear forces in the nucleus of an atom.
When an element gains a proton, it becomes another element.
Carbon has proton number of 6
If a proton is added to it, it becomes 7
This is the proton or atomic number of nitrogen.
