Both protons and neutrons are located inside the nucleus of an atom. Changing the number of neutrons in the nucleus would form d

ifferent isotopes of the same element. Which of these BEST describes the outcome of decreasing the number of protons in the nucleus?

By changing the number of protons in an element, you are fundamentally changing it to a different element.

It’s worth remembering that:

Protons identify the element

Electrons determine properties and behavior of the element

Neutrons contribute to isotopes and just help keep everything stable, by separating the charges. Remember opposites attract. Like charges repel.

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP?
IgorC [24]

Hey there!:

The 1s, 2s and 2p subshells are completely filled (a maximum of two electrons go into the 1s subshell and a maximum of two electrons go into the 2s subshell.  The 2p subshell includes 3 orbitals, with 2 electrons maximum per orbital).  The 3s subshell has only one of a maximum of two electrons.

Hope that helps!

What is the electron configuration for a neutral atom of fluorine.
zavuch27 [327]

Answer and Explanation: The full ground-state electron configuration for a fluorine atom is 1s2, 2s2, 2p5. We determine this by first identifying the number of electrons in a fluorine atom. If the atom is neutral, it will have nine electrons to match the nine protons int he fluorine nucleus
