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 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 you change one element into another using an ordinary chemical reaction?
Yes, elements can be changed into other elements through nuclear reactions rather than ordinary chemical reactions. In nuclear reactions, the nucleus of an atom is altered, leading to the creation of a different element. This process is not commonly seen in everyday chemical reactions.
Can an element be separated into simpler materials except during nuclear reactions?
No, an element cannot be separated into simpler materials through chemical means, as it is defined as a pure substance consisting of only one type of atom. Chemical reactions can change the arrangement of atoms but do not alter the elemental identity. The only way to break down an element into simpler components is through nuclear reactions, which can change one element into another by altering its atomic structure.
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 an element be decomposed by chemical change?
Yes, an element can be decomposed into simpler substances through chemical reactions. This typically involves breaking the chemical bonds that hold the element's atoms together, resulting in the formation of new compounds or elements.
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.
Chemical reactions do not affect the nuclei of the reactive elements Only nuclear reactions can change the identity of the elements by changing the number of protons in the nucleus What can you conc?
Chemical reactions involve changes in the electron configuration of atoms, not the nuclei. In contrast, nuclear reactions alter the nuclei of atoms by changing the number of protons, which can result in the transformation of one element into another. Chemical reactions do not have the ability to change the identity of elements based on the number of protons in the nucleus.
How does the element iron change when mixed with another element?
a) formation of chemical compounds b) formation of alloys
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.
