During two types of radioactive decay an element is converted into another,
1- beta decay, during this decay a new element is formed with increase of one unit in atomic no but having the same Atomic Mass, 2- alpha decay converts the element into another having two units less in atomic no and four unit less in atomic mass.

What is another name for an atom?
is the smallest particle of an element that has the properties of that element
Which element on bombarding with an alpha particle gives Oxygen-17?
13/6 C
What happen to particles during a displacement reaction?
An element or ion moves out of one compound and into another. (One element is replaced by another in a compound.)
What is meant by a radioactive element?
A radioactive element is an element that readily undergoes nuclear decay - the nucleus spontaneously emits subatomic particles as the element changes into another element.
What occurred when Rutherford exposed nitrogen gas to alpha particles?
The conversion of one element to another
What do you mean by bombarding element?
A nuclear reaction in which an atom is bombarded with elementary particles or with a lighter atom.
What element was made by bombarding plutonium and alpha particles?
The reaction is:Pu-239 + alpha = Cm-242 + n
Which element on bombarding with an alpha particle gives Oxygen 17?
Nitrogen-14 forms Oxygen-17 when it is bombarded by alpha particles.
When tiny particles of an element fit in between the large particles of another element?
electrons
Element that can be formed by bombarding uranium with deuterium?
Bombarding the uranium isotope 238U with deuterons, we can obtain plutonium.
How was the element technetium developed?
Technetium was created by bombarding molybdenum atoms with deuterons. Today technetium is produced by bombarding molybdenum-98 with neutrons
Why are synthetic elements made?
It depends on the element. Some synthetic elements can be made by bombarding the nucleus of a lighter element with protons or alpha particles. The heavier synthetic elements are made by colliding atomic nuclei with one another.

Radioactive decay occurs when?
When a radioactive element slowly turns into another element/s when it emits various particles.
