How does an isotope of an element change during nuclear decay?
Down2earth

What element is most likely to be produced during a nuclear fusion reaction?
helium-4
Which isotopes combined during the sun's nuclear reactions and the element created?
Hydrogen isotopes(12H) and the element formed is helium(24He).
Is is possible to convert atoms of one element into atoms of another?
According to Dalton's atomic theory chemical reactions occur when atoms are separated, joined, or rearranged. Atoms of one element, however, are never changed into atoms of another element as a result of a chemical reaction (it is possible only during nuclear reactions and radioactive disintegration).
During nuclear fusion two nuclei fuse to form a heavier element and?
Then there is a release of vast amounts of energy.
What would happen to the type of atom when the number of protons is changed?
It would become an atom of a different element. This can only happen during radioactive decay, nuclear fusion, or nuclear fission.
Do element identities reamin the same or change during nuclear decay?
That depends on the nuclear decay type. For gamma decay, the identity does NOT change, but for alpha and beta, it does.
What fuel is used during nuclear fission?
Certain fissionable materials, usually a uranium or plutonium isotope.
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.
An element produced inside a nuclear reactor?
Plutonium, an element not found in nature, is formed from uranium during reactor operation
When During nuclear fusion atoms of one element are forced together to form another element and radiated energy?
truuuuuuuuuuueeeeeeee

Hydrogen isotopes(12H) and the element formed is helium(24He).
What happens during a transmutation?
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.
What happened during nuclear decay?
New elements(or isotopes of decaying element) are produced and energy is released

What changes occurs during a nuclear change?
Elements are created that differ from the reactants.
