What are the differences between natural radioactivity nd artificial radioactivity?

Natural Radioactivity arises from radioactive components contained in nature. Artificial Radioactivity will come through element produced with in nuclear reactors as well as accelerators. Natural Radioactivity is a spontaneous process of disintegration. Artificial Radioactivity is carried in synthetically produced radioactive elements used in nuclear reactors.


Is natural radioactivity is random and artificial radioactivity is controlled?

Natural radioactivity occurs spontaneously in certain elements, so it is considered random. Artificial radioactivity, on the other hand, is intentionally induced through processes like nuclear reactions and can be controlled to some extent.


Can copper be converted into gold by artificial radioactivity?

No, copper cannot be converted into gold by artificial radioactivity. While elements can be transmuted through nuclear reactions, the amount of energy required to convert copper into gold is prohibitively high and not practical.


Is the fission of uranium 235 an example of natural or artificial radioactivity?

The fission of uranium-235 is an example of natural radioactivity, as uranium-235 is a naturally occurring radioactive isotope. Artificial radioactivity, on the other hand, refers to the radioactivity induced in a normally stable element through processes like nuclear reactions or particle bombardment.


What is the radioactivity of sodium?

Sodium does not exhibit natural radioactivity. However, artificial radioisotopes of sodium can be produced in a laboratory setting through nuclear reactions.

What is an examples of artificial radioactivity except U?

Uranium is not artificial radioactivity so it is not clear what the question is about.


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.


How did ernest rutherford work relate to the atomic bomb?

he studied radioactivity and the transmutation of elements by bombardment with neutrons.

Is bombardment of alpha particles on beryllium artificial radioactivity?

You can say that as long as the alpha particle itself is not originating from a radioactive element. If however one is able to isolate the helium nucleus from the elemental atom and then used for bombarding towards the beryllium then it is considered as an example of artificial radioactivity. Or the production of a radioactive element(synthetic element) like Francium can be considered artificial radioactivity.

Who is the scientist who performed the first artificial transmutation?

Ernest Rutherford, a New Zealand-born physicist, was the scientist who performed the first artificial transmutation by bombarding nitrogen gas with alpha particles in 1919, resulting in the creation of oxygen and hydrogen nuclei.
