What does transmutation involve?
Transmutation of elements refers to the conversion of one chemical element into another. This occurs in nuclear reactions or through radioactive decay.
In which structure of chloroplast do the light-dependent reactions occur?
The light reactions occur in the thylakoid space, which can also be called the granum.
What would result in a transmutation?
An alpha particle being emitted would result in a transmutation.
What are biochemical reactions?
Biochemistry is the study of a chemical process in living things. Biochemists study microorganisms like proteins and carbohydrates. The process is how they do it, by aid of microscopes, hypothesis and experimentation.
In which process is an element of matter changed into a completely different element?
It's called transmutation. There are two types of transmutation. Natural transmutation is when an element naturally changes into another element. Artificial transmutation is when an element is forced to change into another element, usually done in a laboratory setting.
Can transmutation reactions occur when the neutrons of various elements are bombarded by alpha particles?
yes
What causes transmutation?
Transmutation is caused by changing the number of protons in an atom's nucleus, which can occur through nuclear reactions such as fission or fusion. These reactions can result in the transformation of one element into another, creating new isotopes or elements.
Does transmutation occur in gamma decay?
No, transmutation does not occur in gamma decay. Gamma decay is a type of radioactive decay where a nucleus releases a gamma ray photon to reach a more stable state, but the identity of the nucleus remains the same. Transmutation involves the change of one element into another through various nuclear reactions.
Which fact about transmutation is not true?
Transmutation is the process of changing one element into another through nuclear reactions. It is not possible to transmute elements using simple chemical reactions.
Transmutation does not occur in which of these nuclear processes?
Transmutation does not occur in nuclear fission, where atomic nuclei are split into smaller fragments. Transmutation involves changing the identity of an atomic nucleus by altering the number of protons and neutrons it contains, which occurs in nuclear fusion reactions and radioactive decay processes.
Why is transmutation classified as a reaction?
Transmutation is a nuclear reaction.Transmutation by chemical reactions is only a phantasy of the Middle Ages.
What are two ways transmutation can occur?
t
Is transmutation of elements and nuclear transmutation are same?
Transmutation of elements generally refers to changing one element into another by altering the number of protons in the nucleus, while nuclear transmutation specifically refers to inducing such changes through nuclear reactions (such as bombarding a nucleus with particles). In this sense, nuclear transmutation is a type of transmutation of elements.
How is rusting and transmutation related?
Rusting is a specific type of oxidation reaction that occurs when iron reacts with oxygen in the presence of water to form iron oxide. Transmutation, on the other hand, is the process of changing one element into another through nuclear reactions. While both rusting and transmutation involve chemical or atomic changes, they occur through different mechanisms and at different scales.
Does transmutation occur in nuclear fission?
Nuclear fission splits an atom of one element into two atoms of two different elements. This is not usually called transmutation. However, fission is accompanied by subsequent steps, which usually include transmutation.
All nuclear reactions due to nuclear transmutation?
Nuclear reactions may or may not involve nuclear transmutation. We need to split hairs here to arrive at the correct answer, and the answer involves the definition of the word transmutation. We sometimes think of transmutation as the changing of one element to another. Fission and fusion reactions do this, and many kinds of radioactive decay also convert one element into another. But there are some kinds of nuclear reactions that do not change an atom from one element to another, but instead change it from one isotope of a given element into another isotope of that element. There are a number of examples of this, and one is where isotopes of a given element absorb a neutron and become another isotope of that element. A given nucleus incorporates the neutron into its nuclear arrangement and the next heavier isotope of that element is created. If a "strict" definition of transmutation is used where it means a nuclear reaction that changes one element into another, then no, this does not always happen as illustrated above with the example of neutron absorption. If a more general interpretation of the term is used where we say that the nucleus transmutes meaning changes configuration, then yes, nuclear reactions involve nuclear transmutation.
What are three purposes of performing artificial transmutation reactions?
- to study the nuclear physics- to prepare new isotopes
