There are only 2 ways that can happen, fission or fusion. Fusion is when two atoms combine to become a larger atom (almost exclusively two hydrogen atoms becoming 1 helium atom). Fission is much more common and is present in all radioactive elements.
Alpha decay is a kind of radioactive decay in which an alpha particle is emitted from an atom. An alpha particle consists of two protons and two neutrons. Therefore, when an atom of an element undergoes alpha decay, it loses two protons, which changes the atom from one element to another. This is because each different element is identified by the number of protons in its atomic nuclei.
Radioactive decay. You can have alpha, beta or gamma radiative decay but the decay that causes an atom to change from one element to another is alpha decay, which ejects a helium atom (2 protons, 2 neutrons) from its nucleus.
Only a nuclear reaction can convert an element to another element. Beta decay certianly would
transmutation
A chemical reaction is a change in which one kind of matter changes into a different kind of matter with different properties. Reactant is a substance used in a chemical reaction and a product is a substance made in a chemical reaction. Hope this is helpful! ;)
changing elements involves changing the number of protons, so you'll be doing some kind of radioactive decay or nuclear fusion/fission; not any ordinary chemical reaction
no
You have to produce some kind of reaction to make the fuel change state. This could be a nuclear reaction, or in the case of combustible fossil fuels it is a chemical reaction with oxygen
Rock cycle
Fusion or fission.
That would be radioactive decay.
This kind of reaction is usually called a "single displacement" or :single replacement" reaction.
An element can only change if the number of protons in its nucleus changes. It is possible to make one kind of element into another, but all these processes can be accomplished only by nuclear means. Gold can be changed into another element in a physics lab, but only with the use of a nuclear reactor or an accelerator of some kind. Any element can be changed into another element, but only by nuclear means.
The reaction would be a combination reaction. This type of reaction is also sometimes referred to at a synthesis reaction.
One type of atom (element or isotope) is converted to another. This is called nuclear reaction.
This is called a replacement reaction. When one element replaces another in a compound, it is called single replacement or single displacement. An example isZn + 2HCl ---> ZnCl2 + H2 where the zinc replaces the hydrogen in the acid to form zinc chloride.
a chemical change
An exothermic reaction is a chemical reaction that releases energy in the form of heat. It favors a negative enthalpy change.
Change of color.
Every element has its own kind of atom, identifiable from atoms of another element by its number of protons.
This reaction is a chemical change.
