A lower energy state.
Today we know that atoms can be destroyed to nuclear reactions but not by chemical reactions.
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).
The bond that occurs when atoms share electrons is Ionic Bond
When electrons are added into the outer shell repulsion occurs, to minimize the repulsion the electron cloud expands.
The number of protons in the nucleus changes.
For transmutation of atoms by bombarding with alpha
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.

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.
Yes, there are several methods for Nuclear transmutation a few of them being Nuclear Spallation, Alpha Decay, Beta Decay, and Antimatter annihilation.
Transmutation, which is the change of atoms from one element to another.
When a chemical reaction occurs atoms get ionized. Atoms are never created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction.
A covalent bond occurs when atoms are sharing electrons equally.
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.
The bond that occurs when atoms share electrons is Ionic Bond
The type of bond that occurs between calcium and sulfur atoms is ionic.
