Fluorine off course (atomic no. = 9)
If another planet is discovered it will change to Neon
Otherwise if the IAU decides Pluto is not a Planet it 
will tranmute to oxygen

Voila!

There is no way to count the ?protons and neutrons? in the sun but if
we assume that it is a rest state atom (not an ion or isotope) and the
planets equate to the number of electrons, which equates to the number
of protons, then we would be fluorine if we didn?t count the asteroids
and neon if we did. There are nine planets in the solar system and ten
if you count the asteroids, so atomic No. 9 = fluorine and atomic
No.10 = neon. See table below:

ATOMIC No.     EELMENT     SYMBOL     MNEMONIC     PLANET
1              Hydrogen      H         -           Mercury
2              Helium        He        -           Venus
3              Lithium       Li        Little      Earth
4              Beryllium     Be        Betty?s     Mars
5              Boron         B         Brothel     Saturn
6              Carbon        C         Can         Jupiter
7              Nitrogen      N         Not         Neptune
8              Oxygen        O         Open        Uranus
9              Fluorine      F         For         Pluto
10             Neon          Ne        Nothing    (Asteroids)

In my rush to answer the question I have just stiffed a researcher out
of a fairly easy $5. Sorry I wont let it happen again. When I get my
credit card sorted out I will let you make some money out of me. Btw
is there any way to ask questions in ga without having a credit card
(other methods of payment). If you wish you may reply to my e-mail
address.

Captain,

What a guy! Your last comment has been a topic of debate. There are
two trains of thought on your commendable thoughtfulness of offering a
windfall also.

And you reckon that was an easy question? Remind me not to challenge
you to a game of chess.

Assuming the Sun is a single Proton and the planets Electrons, then we
would be a very confused Hydrogen atom
