Transmutation by definition means the conversion of one element into another, and so it follows that its atomic number must also change. Every element has a unique atomic number.
the atomic number represents the number of protons in an elements atoms
The atomic number refers to the number of protons within an atom's nucleus and defines which element the atom is. And an ion is an atom with some level of positive or negative charge as a result of losing or gaining electrons, so ionisation has no effect on the atomic number (an ion of copper is still copper) and a negligable effect on the atomic mass - since electrons are relatively very light.The only way the atomic number can change is through nuclear fission (elements decaying into isotopes and lower elements) or nuclear fusion (creating higher elements).As such this question makes no sense.
It tells you the number of protons in the nuclei of its atoms.
All elements in a column of the periodic table have the same number of valence electrons. Since their reactivity (i.e. its bonding) depends on the number of valence eletrons, elements in the same column should have similar chemical and physical properties.
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.
Nuclear transmutation happens in most (not all) types of nuclear decay. In transmutation, the number of neutrons might remain the same, but the number of protons certainly does not, because the number of protons determines the atomic number of the atom, and transmutation requires a change in atomic number. Since the number of electrons of an unionized atom is the same as the number of protons, the number of electrons would probably change too, but this is not technically a requirement of transformation.I want to point out also that the individual particles usually do not change in transformation (though this can happen), just their number.
A transmutation reaction always involves a change in the identity of the atoms involved, resulting in the formation of different elements. This can be achieved through processes like radioactive decay or nuclear fusion.
Elements with atomic numbers greater than 92 are referred to as transmutation elements because they are typically created artificially through nuclear reactions involving the bombardment of lighter elements with high-energy particles. This process involves changing one element into another through nuclear transmutation. Some of these transuranium elements are not found in nature and can only be produced in nuclear reactors or particle accelerators.
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.
They used atomic number instead of Atomic Mass to organize the elements
put it in your mind! The Atomic number. is number of protons, While The Mass number. is number of protons and electrons. when you subtract both get the number of electrons and this for any element but not all elements have same atomic numbers or mass and Rutherford First discover "transmutation" from element to other element which determine by their atomic and mass numbers.
If the elements are arranged in the order of their increasing atomic numbers, there properties are repeated in a periodic manner.
No it does not have. Atomic number i for elements.
Yes, elements can be ordered by their atomic number. The atomic number of an element corresponds to the number of protons in an atom's nucleus, and elements are arranged in the periodic table from lowest to highest atomic number.
It is called periodic law.
transmutation of elements... the thing alchemists sought to do
They used atomic number instead of Atomic Mass to organize the elements.
