Question

match the question with the appropriate response. what subatomic particle number never changes? some of the atoms in the table above different numbers of neutrons but the same number of protons. what are such atoms called in relation to one another? does the isotope of an element matter when it comes to determining the charge? yes or no 1. isotopes 2. neutrons 3. yes 4. no 5. electrons 6. protons

Explanation:

• The number of protons in an element is its atomic number and is constant, so the answer to "What subatomic particle number never changes?" is protons.
• Atoms with the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons are called isotopes.
• Isotopes have the same number of protons and electrons (in a neutral atom), so the isotope of an element does not matter when determining the charge as the charge - determining factor is the balance between protons and electrons.

Answer:

• What subatomic particle number never changes?: 6. Protons
• Some of the atoms in the table above different numbers of neutrons but the same number of protons. What are such atoms called in relation to one another?: 1. Isotopes
• Does the isotope of an element matter when it comes to determining the charge? Yes or No: 4. No
