Question

what is meant by atomic number of am elememt does the atomic number of an element change when its atoms forms ions​

Answer 1

Answer:

No

Explanation:

the atomic number of an element does not change when it forms ion.

In an isolated neutral atom, total number of protons is equal to total number of electrons revolving around the nucleus.

Atomic number = Total number of protons in the nucleus.

When an atom forms an ion by loss or gain of electrons, the number of electrons revolving around the nucleus changes.

But the total number of protons remains the same.

Hence, the atomic number of the element does not changes when it forms ion.
