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.
Why is reactivity not a phyical property?
A physical change doesn't involve chemical reactions, change of the molecule structure.The chemical reactivity is about the ability of an element or compound to realize chemical reactions.
Can a material change from one substance to another during a chemical reaction?
"Substance" is too fuzzy a word. Chemical reactions can change materials into other compounds, for example shiny iron into rust (Fe2O3). But it cannot change an element into another element. A nuclear reaction can do that, for example uranium into plutonium.
Can a chemical cause a chemical change?
A chemical change can be caused by a reaction. It an element or compound reacts with another, it is known as a chemical change.
Can elements be joined together in chemical reactions?
No and element cannot be broken down or changed into another substance through a chemical change. The number of protons in the nucleus of an atom determines the identity of the substance. But, a chemical change involves only the atoms electrons. -SmartyPants94
What are examples of chemical reaction?
Reactions that are not chemical reactions are physical reactions. These reactions involve a change in only the physical state of an element, not its chemical properties. Thus, physical changes include freezing, condensation, sublimation, hammering a metal into a sheet, cutting sodium metal, etc.
Is reactions a chemical or physical?
Chemical reactions are chemical processes.
Why did alchemists fail to create gold?
Gold is an element. It is impossible to change one element into another by chemical means. It is possible to do so via nuclear reactions, but alchemists did not know about such things.
Can microbes can change one element to other element?
No. Living things can only take part in chemical reactions using various forms of energy, and these only change the way chemical elements are bonded together, not the elements themselves.
How does the element iron change when mixed with another element?
a) formation of chemical compounds b) formation of alloys
What type of change that produces a new substance?
If you mean changing one element into another, like uranium 238 into plutonium 239, which happens in nuclear reactors, the word is 'transmutation'. Otherwise many chemical reactions form new substances, without the elements involved changing, and these would be called 'chemical reactions'.
Which substance cannot be broken down by a chemical change?
All of the elements of the Periodic Table cannot be broken down into simpler substances.
