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).
Is neutron number conserved in radioactive decay?
The number of neutrons is not conserved during decay.
What stage of mitosis is characterized by the disintegration of mitotic spindles and the formation of two new nuclear membranes?
Telophase
What makes the chromosomes become visible during prophase?
When pro phase begins, the DNA molecules are progressively shortened and condensed by coiling, to form visible chromosomes.
Why can't oxygen be changed into helium?
Oxygen has 8 protons, helium has 2 protons. To convert oxygen to helium, 6 protons has to be lost by nuclear disintegration which is not possible.
What is conserved during necleus disintegration?
Several things are conserved, including:* Total mass * Total energy * Total charge * Total momentum * Rotational momentum * Baryon number is conserved in all known reactions, though there are reasons to believe that this is not a strict conservation law * Color charge
What are the two quantities are always conserved in nuclear decay equation?
Energy and electrical charge are two quantities that are always conserved in nuclear decay equation.
If a helium ion is emmited during the disintegration of a nucleus what kind of decay is this called?
Nuclear emission of a helium ion is called alpha decay.

What is nuclear chain reaction?
A nuclear chain reaction is one in which the disintegration of one nucleus creates a cascade of nucleons which, in their turn, cause the disintegration of other nuclei and thus the process can sustain itself.
What quantities are conserved when balancing a nuclear reaction?
In order for a nuclear reaction to be balanced, there are quantities that must be conserved. The quantities are the atomic numbers and mass numbers of the particles involved in the reaction.
Can a substance be radioactive without a nuclear reaction taking place?
Yes, it is possible; disintegration is not considered a nuclear reaction.
Is conversion by radioactive decay a chemical reaction?
No. It is a nuclear reaction - radioactive disintegration.
Is energy conserved in a nuclear reaction?
Yes. Basically, energy is ALWAYS conserved. The popular saying, that in a nuclear reaction mass is converted to energy, is plainly wrong, since both mass and energy are conserved. Read about "mass deficit", for example in the Wikipedia, for more details.
When metamorphic rock melts and turns into lava is matter conserved?
Yes, this is a simple physical change and matter is always conserved in these. In fact, matter is always conserved except in nuclear reactions where the sum of matter and energy is conserved.
How do some nuclei change?
Atomic nuclei are changed by nuclear reactions or radioactive disintegration.
Iām a nuclear reaction which of the following must be conserved?
ChargeThe count of nucleons
