Transitions between various stages of electron excitement.
nuclear fusion
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.
Nuclear decay or radioactive bombardment.
There are four types of nuclear reactions. Fusion Fission Radioactive Decay Artificial Transmutation
Because transmutation, the change of one element into another, is only accomplished by some kind of change in the nucleus of an atom. It's a nuclear change, and a nuclear reaction is the only change that will facilitate transmutation.
nuclear fission
In nuclear science, transmutation is where one chemical element or isotope is converted into another. It occurs when materials decay, or it can be caused by nuclear reaction.

Yes.
chain reactions
transmutation, neutrons
When an element undergoes nuclear transmutation the result is a completely different element or isotope. All transmutation occurs through decay or nuclear reaction.
No
Transmutation is a nuclear reaction.Transmutation by chemical reactions is only a phantasy of the Middle Ages.
Nuclear decay or radioactive bombardment.
t
Transmutation of elements refers to the conversion of one chemical element into another. This occurs in nuclear reactions or through radioactive decay.
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).
