This will happen naturally if the element is radioactive and can be done artificially by means of neutron bombardment in a nuclear reactor or in the heart of a star.
When an atom of an element has a different number of neutrons.
An iron atom is a different element than a sodium atom because it has a different ground state electron configuration. In fact, any atom that differs from any other atom in ground state electron configuration is a different element.
atom and elements are different because one atom makes an element and a element is a pure substance and a atom is a basic particle
The type of atom is now different from what it was. (It has a new identity.)
atom and elements are different because one atom makes an element and a element is a pure substance and a atom is a basic particle
Yes. It is true. An atom with a different atomic number is an atom of a different element.
An isotope is an atom that contains a different number of neutrons. In order for an element to change there has to be a different number of protons.
The number of protons is different.
An element is a class of substances An atom is the smallest possible piece of an element. An isotope is an electrically charged atom.
no
IT IS DIFFERENT WITH THE ELEMENT. uSE THE ATOMIC NUMBER OF ELEMENT.
An element is an atom or molecule made of a single type of atom. A compound is a molecule made of two or more different elements.
