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
Transmutation reactions can occur when the?
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.
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.
The nuclear reaction that changes one element into another element is called a?
transmutation - same as the alchemists called it.
Is fusion a type of chemical reaction?
False
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).
State wether a nuclear fusion is a chemical reaction or a nuclear reaction?
Nuclear

What element is needed to make a nuclear weapon?
A nuclear weapon requires enriched uranium or plutonium as the fissile material to sustain a chain reaction and create a nuclear explosion. Additionally, a conventional chemical explosive is needed to trigger the nuclear reaction.
Is thorium emits a beta particle a chemical reaction?
No, thorium emitting a beta particle is a nuclear reaction, not a chemical reaction. In a beta decay process, a neutron in the thorium nucleus converts into a proton, emitting a beta particle (an electron) and an antineutrino. This type of decay is a form of radioactive decay, which is a nuclear process involving changes in the nucleus of an atom.
Fission and fusion is an example of what kind of energy?
One type of atom (element or isotope) is converted to another. This is called nuclear reaction.
