Transmutation is a what happens when a cellular change occurs in an atom. This mutation will occur in an atom if it is unstable as a way to stabilize itself.

∙ 13y agoThere are a number of possible nuclear changes, so the question is a bit on the general side, but in most cases a nuclear change will cause the atom to transmute into a different element.

What would result in a transmutation?
An alpha particle being emitted would result in a transmutation.
Transmutation reactions can occur when the?
In nuclear science, transmutation is where one chemical element or isotope is converted into another. It occurs when materials decay, or it can be caused by nuclear reaction.
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.
In which process is an element of matter changed into a completely different element?
It's called transmutation. There are two types of transmutation. Natural transmutation is when an element naturally changes into another element. Artificial transmutation is when an element is forced to change into another element, usually done in a laboratory setting.
Why would an elements atomic number change after transmutation?
Transmutation by definition means the conversion of one element into another, and so it follows that its atomic number must also change. Every element has a unique atomic number.
How does scientists perform atifical transmutation?
the scientists can synthesize a transmutation element by artificial transmutation of a lighter element
Is transmutation of elements and nuclear transmutation are same?
Yes.
Which fact about transmutation is not true?
Transmutation involves a chemical change
Change of one element into another is called what?
transmutation, neutrons
What atomic particle must undergo a change in number during every transmutation reaction?
Nuclear transmutation happens in most (not all) types of nuclear decay. In transmutation, the number of neutrons might remain the same, but the number of protons certainly does not, because the number of protons determines the atomic number of the atom, and transmutation requires a change in atomic number. Since the number of electrons of an unionized atom is the same as the number of protons, the number of electrons would probably change too, but this is not technically a requirement of transformation.I want to point out also that the individual particles usually do not change in transformation (though this can happen), just their number.
How do you use the word transmutation in a sentence?
Such as this: "Sally underwent a transmutation at the doctor's yesterday."
Result in a transmutation?
An alpha particle being emitted would result in a transmutation.
When was Transmutation Live created?
Transmutation Live was created on 1996-06-21.
How do you use transmutation circle?
To use the transmutation circles:1.) draw a transmutation circle. It must be perfect.2.) get a thing that you want to change then put it in the center of transmutation circle.3.) concentrate then put your hands together like praying then put your hands in the floor.4.) it must have lightning.
How is rusting and transmutation related?
rusting and transmutation are the same because they are both dense. Therefore the attractive forces are determined by the air around it affects its rusting and transmutation.
Who discovered transmutation?
Transmutation was discovered by Marie Curie. The discovery was from a result of elements decaying. Later on, a form called Artificial Transmutation was discovered by Ernest Rutherford.
What is a sentence for transmutation?
Transmutation of glass into diamonds isn't just theoretically possible. Rob's transmutation was complete when he grew a tail and started barking like a dog.
