7) Germanium, element 32 on the Periodic Table, is shown here. If a proton is added to the nucleus of germanium, what outcome(s) would occur? Select ALL That apply.
A) The atom would increase in mass but would remain germanium.
B) The atom would become arsenic and have different properties.
The atom would remain germanium, but it would have a positive charge.
D) The atom would increase in mass and have different elemental properties.
E) The atom would expel a neutron to maintain a constant mass and chemical properties.

Respuesta :

Addition of a proton to germanium  will convert it to arsenic (element 33) having different properties.

The atomic number of an atom is the number of protons in the nucleus of the atom. The atomic number serves as the identity of an atom. If the atomic number is changed by adding or removing protons, the identity of that atom changes.

Hence, when a proton is added to germanium, the  atom would become arsenic (element 33) and have different properties.
