What else can I help you with?
What do you call the change of one chemical element into another through nuclear reaction?
answer TRANSMUTATION
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 physics what name is given to the change of one chemical element into another through nuclear reaction?
transmutation
If uranium decays is it a chemical change?
No. It is a nuclear change, as the identity of the element changes.
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.
Can a chemical cause a chemical change?
A chemical change can be caused by a reaction. It an element or compound reacts with another, it is known as a chemical change.
Which fact about transmutation is not true?
Transmutation is the process of changing one element into another through nuclear reactions. It is not possible to transmute elements using simple chemical reactions.
Is a change that produces a new element a physical change?
No, it is a chemical change. ---------------------------------- Yes, it is a physical change because this change not involve a chemical reaction but a nuclear reaction followed by a change in the number of protons and neutrons.
Can gold be changed into another element?
An element can only change if the number of protons in its nucleus changes. It is possible to make one kind of element into another, but all these processes can be accomplished only by nuclear means. Gold can be changed into another element in a physics lab, but only with the use of a nuclear reactor or an accelerator of some kind. Any element can be changed into another element, but only by nuclear means.
How is nuclear change differ from normal chemical change?
Nuclear change usually (but not always) changes the element of an atom itself; at the very least, it changes the isotope of the atom, altering its radiological properties (such as its half life). A chemical change means a change to a molecule in which the atom is bound.
Why is a transmutation calssified as a nuclear reaction?
because that's what it takes to change one element to another, a change to the nucleus.
How does the element iron change when mixed with another element?
a) formation of chemical compounds b) formation of alloys
