When an atom has a nuclear reaction that converts it to a different element, that is a form of radioactive decay. Even the chain reaction that takes place when an atomic bomb explodes is radioactive decay, taking place more rapidly than usual.

∙ 14y agoIt depends on what atom. Different atoms have different numbers of protons in. Because atoms have no net charge, they have the same number of protons as electrons 'orbiting' them. The total charge of the nucleus is the number of protons in it multiplied by 1.6 x 10-19 coulombs.

∙ 12y agowell its not transmutation that's for sure

∙ 9y agoAny change in an atom's center is called a nuclear reaction. This change also occurs when two nuclei collide to make a single nuclide or multiple nuclides.

When water changes to ice the link up of atoms does or does not change?
The bonds between hydrogen and oxygen atoms of individual water molecules do not change when liquid water changes to ice. This is a physical change called freezing, and does not cause any chemical changes to occur. Only chemical changes can cause changes in chemical bonds.
What is it called in a chemical reaction where atoms are neither created nor destroyed?
In any chemical reaction atoms are neither created nor destroyed.
When chlorine atoms are bonded together what are they called?
For any two or more atoms bondedtogether is a MOLECULE. Gaseous chlorine is a molecule because it contains TWO(2) atoms of chlorine; structurally (Cl - Cl).
What is the difference between ionic and covalent and atomic radii?
Ionic Radii:The distance from the center of the nucleus and the outer most shell (valence shell) of an ion.Covalent Radii:It is one half of the distance between two same nucleur atoms. In hetro nucleur di atomic atoms it is equal to the sum of the two atomic radii.Atomic Radii:The distance from the center of the nucleus and the outer most (valence) shell of an atom.
Have 1 valence electron?
The atoms with only 1 valence electron are the elements located on the very left of the periodic table, with atoms such as hydrogen, natrium and potassium. These are called alkali metals.
When matter undergoes a physical or change are any atoms created ordestroyed?
in a nuclear reaction, matter (atoms) will be converted to energy. Other than that, no. That is called the conservation of mass.
Two atoms linked together is called?
Any number of atoms joined together by means of chemical bonds is called a molecule. The number of atoms in a particular molecule varies.
When ice changes to water the link up of atoms does or does not change?
The bonds between hydrogen and oxygen atoms of individual water molecules do not change when liquid water changes to ice. This is a physical change called freezing, and does not cause any chemical changes to occur. Only chemical changes can cause changes in chemical bonds.

Can a circle be drawn with any center and any radius?
The center of a circle is the same for all circles but the length of the radius can change
Is it true that an anion is any atom or group of atoms with a positive change?
false
A chemical change is any change that?
In a macrscopic scale: alters colour, scent, texture.In a microscopic scale: Break bonds between atoms in a molecule and/or forms new bonds between atoms.
What Circle on Earth's surface has the center of Earth as its center?
Any circle on the Earth's surface whose center is at the center of the Earth is called a "great circle". Any circle with its center anywhere else is called a "small circle". Spiritually, many consider the kaaba (Mecca) to be the center of the Earth's surface.
What is the force that holds any 2 atoms in a molecule called?
intermolecular force
What is it called in a chemical reaction where atoms are neither created nor destroyed?
In any chemical reaction atoms are neither created nor destroyed.
What is a atom with a net positiveor negative charge?
Atoms do not have any charge, if they have, they are called as ions.
Is Sublime of a solid to gas chemical or physical change?
Change of state is always physical. You have not lost or gained any atoms. Therefore its physical.
