Question

what would happen if.... a proton is added to carbon? a proton is removed from carbon a neutron is added to carbon? a neutron is removed from carbon? an electron is added to carbon? an electron is removed from carbon?

Explanation:

Step1: Proton change

Adding a proton makes it nitrogen (atomic number increases by 1). Removing makes it boron.

Step2: Neutron change

Adding/removing a neutron changes the isotope of carbon.

Step3: Electron change

Adding makes a negatively - charged ion. Removing makes a positively - charged ion.

Answer:

Adding a proton: Nitrogen.
Removing a proton: Boron.
Adding a neutron: Different carbon isotope.
Removing a neutron: Different carbon isotope.
Adding an electron: Negatively - charged carbon ion.
Removing an electron: Positively - charged carbon ion.
