Answer:
False- The number of electrons does not affect the type of element.
Explanation:
The adding/removing of protons is what changes the type of element. for example, if you have a molecule of Boron, which has 5 protons, and you add one proton, you will have created a carbon molecule with 6 protons. The number of protons of an element is its atomic number. Elements can have varying numbers of both electrons and neutrons without changing the type of element.
