Yes, but only if it is radioactive. Radioactive elements change into different elements through radioactive decay.

What property must be change to change an element into another element?
to make one element a different element, all you need to do is have a different number of protons
How does an isotope of an element change during nuclear decay?
During nuclear decay, radioisotopes of one element can change into one or more isotopes of a different element altogether.
What is the only way to change one element into a different element?
through radioactive decay
What happens when the number of protons in an atom change?
The type of atom is now different from what it was. (It has a new identity.)
How can the researcher change one isotope into a different isotope of the same element?
By striking it with neutrons.
What is an allotropism?
An allotrope is a form of an element which has a distinctly different molecular structure to another form of the same element.
What are two ways in which atoms of different elements are different from one another?
They have different numbers of electrons, protons and neutrons. These small differences can change the element dramatically.
Does plutonium change its element when melted if so to what?
No. Melting does not change one element into another.
What do you get when you change the number of Protons in the nucleus?
You get a different element
What happens if you change the number of protons of an element?
The element transforms itself into another element because each element have a specific number of protons. If the number of protons changes, the element changes as well. The number of protons in an atom defines it elemental identity, so if the number of protons in an element increases by one it becomes another element.

What makes element different from one another?
The atoms of each element have a number of protons that is unique to each element. The number of protons makes one atom different from another.
Does the atomic no of an element change when its atom get converted into cations or anions?
no, it is still the same element just a different type
