You don't need to assume. This is done routine in particle accelerators. For instance, at https://www.gsi.de/en/work/research/appamml/atomic_physics/research/experimental_facilities/hitrap.htm they can work with bare nuclei up to U92+.entrance said:Let's assume that we could steal all electrons of an atom. What would happen?
It depends on what you mean by "properties." For instance, the electrons play a major role in the spectrum of an atom. Removing a single electron completely changes an atom's spectrum.entrance said:How would the atom change its properties? Could we measure different values?
Electrons do not participate in the strong interaction.entrance said:For example the strong force inside a nucleus: If we could measure the strong force inside and outside the nucleus, could we notice a change, if we steal all electrons of an atom?
It is a different object. The nucleus behaves the same (apart from a few exotic cases involving beta decays*). The electrons are present in one case, and not present in the other case, so everything involving electrons is different obviously. Spectroscopy of electron energy levels cannot be done without electrons, for example.entrance said:What are the known differences in properties or behaviour between an atom WITH its atoms and the same atom WITHOUT its atoms?

See:entrance said:DrClaude has already mentioned this "spectrum". What does this mean? And are there some further changes?
No. Uranium in nuclear reactors has its electrons, for example.entrance said:Do i have to remove all electrons, if i want to split a nucleus?
You don't have to remove them for fusion either. Heating the matter until it is a plasma and loses electrons is the most practical approach, but it is not the only one, and the reason the electrons are not around has nothing to do with fusion.entrance said:Or do i have to remove them, if i want to achieve a fusion of 2 or more nuclei?
If you were to remove the electrons, then matter wouldn't hold together. You can get isolated bare nuclei, but certainly cannot make a material with them.entrance said:Maybe the last question in this topic. If it isn't necessary to remove the electrons in a nuclear reactor, then it is also not necessary to remove them in A-Bombs. Is this correct?
Electron loss refers to the process where an atom loses one or more of its electrons. This can occur through various forms of ionization, such as collisions with other particles or exposure to high energy radiation. When an atom loses an electron, it becomes positively charged and its properties, such as its size and reactivity, can be significantly altered.
The stability of an atom is determined by the balance between the positive protons in the nucleus and the negative electrons in the electron cloud. When an atom loses an electron, this balance is disrupted and the atom becomes less stable. This can lead to increased reactivity and the potential for chemical bonding with other atoms to regain stability.
Excessive electron loss can lead to the formation of highly reactive and unstable ions. These ions can potentially react with other atoms or molecules in the environment, causing chemical changes and potential damage. In some cases, excessive electron loss can also disrupt the normal functioning of biological processes, leading to health issues.
Electron loss can be reversed through a process called electron gain, where an atom gains one or more electrons to regain stability. This can occur through various forms of ionization, such as electron capture or exposure to high energy radiation. Additionally, some chemical reactions can also result in the transfer of electrons between atoms, allowing for the reversal of electron loss.
Scientists use various methods, such as spectroscopy and theoretical modeling, to study the effects of electron loss on atom properties. These techniques allow for the observation and measurement of changes in the atom's size, reactivity, and other properties. Additionally, experiments can be conducted to simulate electron loss in controlled environments, providing further insight into its effects on atoms.
