If two protons and two neutrons are removed from the nucleus of an oxygen atom, a nuclues of which element ...
Answer:
This would be the common isotope of carbon, with 6 protons and 6 neutrons. However, really only the two protons need to be removed to form carbon. If you removed only the two protons from oxygen, you will get the slightlly radioactive isotope of carbon used in finding the age of very old objects -- carbon 14.
Carbon
All you have to do is look on the periodic table and see what element's atomic number is two less than oxygen.
carbon (atomic number is 2 less and the weight is 4 less)
should be carbon.
carbon... its a direct method.. the element wouldn't change with the no of neutrons.. it only depends on the no of protons.. periodic table has elements arranged according to their at. no so if u reduce the atomic no of oxygen by 2 it will become carbon
It has got to be Carbon...
the new element formed is carbon( since carbon has 6 protons: 8-2=6 ) check out the periodic table in your chemistry book, just to see for yorself.
