Question

quiz 3 build an atom
what happens when you add protons to an atom?
the charge becomes negative
the element changes
the number of energy levels increases
the element stays the same

Explanation:

The identity of an element is determined by the number of protons (atomic number). Adding protons changes the atomic number, thus changing the element. Protons are positively - charged, so adding them makes the charge more positive, not negative. The number of energy levels is mainly related to the number of electron shells which is not directly affected by adding protons alone.

Answer:

The element changes
