Question

If you add 1 proton to Carbon, it will no longer be Carbon, it will be ________________.

Answer 1

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.
