In a nuclear decay sequence it is possible for heavier atoms to decay to a lighter element.
During chemical reactions atoms remain unchanged.
To change one's back headlight, one must first uncover the light bulb. Then one must unscrew the bulb. One must have another bulb to change the headlight. Screw in the new bulb.
A factor which is responsible to increase or decrease the binding forces among the atoms ,ions or molecules is also responsible for change of state as Heat, pressure or force.
Adding or removing protons would change the atoms from one element to another.
Transmutation, which is the change of atoms from one element to another.
No, all Atoms are totally different from one another.
By number of protons/electrons.
NO
When two sodium atoms move toward one another, their outer electron shells may overlap, leading to the transfer of electrons. One atom may lose an electron to the other, forming Na+ cations and resulting in the formation of a sodium compound.
A chemical change is the change of one or more substances into other substances. A physical change is when the state or shape of matter is changed. In a chemical change molecules are combined or beak apart to form new substances.Rusting iron is an example of a chemical change. crushing a can or tearing paper can be an example of physical change.
Carbon atoms readily link to one another to form a chain
Yes, in chemical reactions atoms are neither created nor destroyed, nor changed from one kind to another. Those things can only happen in nuclear reactions. Chemistry deals with how atoms combine with one another.
