Best Answer

Not by chemical means.

A nuclear reaction can be induced by bombarding the nucleus with neutrons, alpha particles, beta particles, gamma rays, high velocity nuclei from a particle accelerator, or cosmic ray particles. Neutrons are most effective at causing nuclear reactions as they have no charge and are reasonably massive.

In nature one element can change to another by what process?

Transmutation is the process by which one element changes into another. This can only be done with a nuclear reaction, but alchemists once believed it might be possible, for example, to transmute lead into gold. They tried many bizarre things, but were never successful. Only nuclear reactions, such as fusion, fission, radioactive decay, etc, can induce a transmutation
