An atom can be changed into an ion by adding or removing _______. An atom can be changed into a different isotope by adding or removing _______. -electrons -neutrons
If you change the number of _______, the atom becomes a different element. protons
A nitrogen atom has 7 protons, and the most common isotope of nitrogen has 7 neutrons. A radioactive isotope of nitrogen has 9 neutrons. What are the atomic numbers and mass numbers of the stable and radioactive forms of nitrogen? Nitrogen - 14 has an atomic number of 7 and a mass number of 14.
