Do element identities reamin the same or change during nuclear decay?

That depends on the nuclear decay type. For gamma decay, the identity does NOT change, but for alpha and beta, it does.

What are the pros and cons of using Nuclear energy?
The kWh produced by nuclear energy is the cheapest. It is a clean energy that does not pollute the environment. It gives chance for people to work during its construction and operation. It is reliable source of energy.
During President Clinton's term international inspectors were not allowed to look at North Korean sites where nuclear waste was being dumped?
During President Clinton's term, international inspectors were not allowed to look at North Korean sites where nuclear waste was being dumped because the North Koreans did not want people to know what was going on. That country continues to keep much of their nuclear capability a secret from the rest of the world.
Were international inspectors allowed to look at North Korean sites where nuclear waste was being dumped during President Clinton's terms in office?
No.
What are the nuclear changes during decay of copper 67?
Copper-67 undergoes beta decay with a halflife of 59 hours, becoming stable Zinc-67.
Which element of swing music remains a mystery to the musicians quoted in the article?
an accurate description of music played during the big band ear
How does an isotope of an element change during nuclear decay?
During nuclear decay, radioisotopes of one element can change into one or more isotopes of a different element altogether.
Can a material change from one substance to another during a chemical reaction?
"Substance" is too fuzzy a word. Chemical reactions can change materials into other compounds, for example shiny iron into rust (Fe2O3). But it cannot change an element into another element. A nuclear reaction can do that, for example uranium into plutonium.
An element produced inside a nuclear reactor?
Plutonium, an element not found in nature, is formed from uranium during reactor operation
When During nuclear fusion atoms of one element are forced together to form another element and radiated energy?
truuuuuuuuuuueeeeeeee
What element is most likely to be produced during a nuclear fusion reaction?
helium-4
Which isotopes combined during the sun's nuclear reactions and the element created?
Hydrogen isotopes(12H) and the element formed is helium(24He).
What happened during nuclear decay?
New elements(or isotopes of decaying element) are produced and energy is released
Is is possible to convert atoms of one element into atoms of another?
According to Dalton's atomic theory chemical reactions occur when atoms are separated, joined, or rearranged. Atoms of one element, however, are never changed into atoms of another element as a result of a chemical reaction (it is possible only during nuclear reactions and radioactive disintegration).
During nuclear fusion two nuclei fuse to form a heavier element and?
Then there is a release of vast amounts of energy.
What changes occurs during a nuclear change?
Elements are created that differ from the reactants.
Atoms of one element change in to atoms of another element during chemical reactions?
During chemical reactions atoms remain unchanged.
Why was the plutonium element found?
Plutonium was discovered in 1940 during studies about nuclear physics, nuclear reactions, isotopes; normal and intelligent humans want to know more and more.
