How do you make an atom into a different element?
This will happen naturally if the element is radioactive and can be done artificially by means of neutron bombardment in a nuclear reactor or in the heart of a star.
What would happen to an atom if the number of protons in the nucleus changed?
It would become a different element. It could become radioactive.
What would happen if thallium and helium were combined?
Helium is chemically inert and does not combine with any other element (including thallium).
What would happen to the type of atom when the number of protons is changed?
It would become an atom of a different element. This can only happen during radioactive decay, nuclear fusion, or nuclear fission.
How can an atoms of one element change into an atom of a different element?
By losing protons. Atomic number determines what kind of element it is. ---------------------------- This can only happen if the nucleus changes its number of protons because the nucleus is unstable and undergoes radioactive decay. As it changes it will emit some form of radiation
How is the atomic mass changed?
When the number of neutrons changes, the atomic mass will change.
Do radioactive elements emit radiation all the time?
In order for an atom of an element that is not radioactive to become radioactive, the isotope has to change. This can happen as a result of neutron capture. Neutron capture can simply change the isotope of an atom, as when cobalt-59, which is not radioactive, captures a neutron to become cobalt-60, which is radioactive. Neutron capture can also result in immediate radioactive decay of the atom struck, even if it is not radioactive. For example helium-3 can capture a neutron to produce two atoms of hydrogen, one of hydrogen-3 and one of hydrogen-1.
How does air happen?
by radioactive material fell in the air
How can an atom of one element change to an atom of another element?
By losing protons. Atomic number determines what kind of element it is. ---------------------------- This can only happen if the nucleus changes its number of protons because the nucleus is unstable and undergoes radioactive decay. As it changes it will emit some form of radiation
What happen is fish got radioactive?
We would not be eating fish
All substances that naturally undergo radioactive decay do so until they finally become a stable isotope of one particular element what is the element?
The decay of radioactive substances follows a decay chain that will sooner or later result in the appearance of a stable isotope of lead. There is an exception for the atoms of a few substances that have undergone decay by spontaneous fission.
What will happen to your cat since he ate uranium?
Become radioactive and die..
