When an element undergoes nuclear transmutation the result is a completely different what?

When an element undergoes nuclear transmutation the result is a completely different element or isotope. All transmutation occurs through decay or nuclear reaction.


How does artificial transmutation differ from artificial radioactivity?

"Artificial transmutation" is a nuclear reaction induced in laboratory, its man made. Artificial radioactivity is a radioactive disintegration phenomenon supported by artificial isotopes.


All nuclear reactions due to nuclear transmutation?

Nuclear transmutation refers to the process where one element is transformed into another through nuclear reactions. Some examples of nuclear reactions involving transmutation include alpha decay, beta decay, fission, and fusion. These reactions result in the formation of different elements with unique atomic numbers and mass numbers.


What do you need for a transmutation?

To perform transmutation, you typically need a source of energy, such as a transmutation circle, alchemical symbols, or a philosopher's stone. Understanding the principles of alchemy and the elements involved in the transmutation process is also important. Additionally, knowledge of the specific elements or substances you wish to transmute is necessary.


Does transmutation occur in gamma decay?

No, transmutation does not occur in gamma decay. Gamma decay is a type of radioactive decay where a nucleus releases a gamma ray photon to reach a more stable state, but the identity of the nucleus remains the same. Transmutation involves the change of one element into another through various nuclear reactions.

The nuclear reaction that changes one element into another element is called a?

transmutation - same as the alchemists called it.


When elements are increased by atomic numbers what is this called?

"Transmutation" or possibly "nuclear fusion."


Does transmutation occur in nuclear fission?

No, transmutation involves changing one element into another via nuclear reactions, while nuclear fission is the splitting of an atomic nucleus into smaller parts. While new elements can be formed during fission, it is not considered transmutation as the original element's nucleus is merely being split.


What does transmutation involve?

Transmutation of elements refers to the conversion of one chemical element into another. This occurs in nuclear reactions or through radioactive decay.


Which fact about transmutation is not true?

Transmutation is the process of changing one element into another through nuclear reactions. It is not possible to transmute elements using simple chemical reactions.


Why are Elements whose atomic numbers are greater than 92 are sometimes referred to as the transmutation elements?

Elements with atomic numbers greater than 92 are referred to as transmutation elements because they are typically created artificially through nuclear reactions involving the bombardment of lighter elements with high-energy particles. This process involves changing one element into another through nuclear transmutation. Some of these transuranium elements are not found in nature and can only be produced in nuclear reactors or particle accelerators.


Change of one element into another is called what?

transmutation, neutrons


Is the process of changing one element into another through nuclear decay?

transmutation of elements... the thing alchemists sought to do


What causes transmutation?

Transmutation is caused by changing the number of protons in an atom's nucleus, which can occur through nuclear reactions such as fission or fusion. These reactions can result in the transformation of one element into another, creating new isotopes or elements.
