Does transmutation occur in nuclear fission?

Nuclear fission splits an atom of one element into two atoms of two different elements. This is not usually called transmutation. However, fission is accompanied by subsequent steps, which usually include transmutation.


What part Dalton atomic theory was later proved to be incorrect?

Today we know that atoms can be destroyed to nuclear reactions but not by chemical reactions.


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).


What can nuclear transmutation result from?

A radioactive atom can decay spontaneously, at a random moment. A transmutation can also be the result of an atom capturing some other particle, or nucleus - which can make certain types of atoms unstable.


Atoms are changed into other atoms?

Yes, there are several methods for Nuclear transmutation a few of them being Nuclear Spallation, Alpha Decay, Beta Decay, and Antimatter annihilation.


Alpha decay and beta decay are two forms of radioactive decay that cause .?

Transmutation, which is the change of atoms from one element to another.


When a chemical reaction occurs atoms are never?

When a chemical reaction occurs atoms get ionized. Atoms are never created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction.


What kind of chemical bond occurs by the equal sharing of atoms-?

A covalent bond occurs when atoms are sharing electrons equally.


Any change in an atom's center is called?

When an atom has a nuclear reaction that converts it to a different element, that is a form of radioactive decay. Even the chain reaction that takes place when an atomic bomb explodes is radioactive decay, taking place more rapidly than usual.


A chemical bond that occurs when atoms share electron is an bond?

The bond that occurs when atoms share electrons is Ionic Bond


What type of bond occurs between calcium and sulfur atoms?
