How can element 92 become element 93?

Answer 1

It happens when a beta particle is emitted from the nucleus of the atom of element 92. Beta Particle is emitted when a neutron is converted to a proton.So atomic number that is , the no of protons increases by 1. Hence 92 becomes 93.

Answer 2

Element 92 (uranium) can be transformed into element 93 (neptunium) through a process called neutron capture, where a uranium nucleus captures a neutron, resulting in the formation of neptunium. This can occur in nuclear reactors or through artificial nuclear reactions.
