Transmutation is the process by which one element changes into another. This can only be done with a nuclear reaction, but alchemists once believed it might be possible, for example, to transmute lead into gold. They tried many bizarre things, but were never successful. Only nuclear reactions, such as fusion, fission, radioactive decay, etc, can induce a transmutation

If you find an element in nature in its pure elemental state what can you infer about the element's chemical reactivity?

If you find an element in its pure elemental state in nature, you can infer that the element is likely not very reactive chemically. This is because elements in their pure form tend to have a full outer electron shell, making them stable and less likely to form chemical bonds with other elements.
