It IS possible, but the process is so expensive and time consuming, requiring huge particle accelerators and stuff, that it is far cheaper to ger the material through traditional methods like mining.
No.
An atom must gain or lose protons from its nucleus to become an atom of another element. The number of protons, and to a much lesser extent the number of neutrons, will determine the chemical properties of an element.
The changing of one element into another, called transmutation, involves a change in the nucleus of the atom. And the number of protons in the nucleus must change for one element to become another one. It is the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom that determines what element that atom is, and only a change in the proton count will herald the change of one element into another. The neutron count may or may not change in transmutation, but be assured that the number of protons will change.
The proton, otherwise you change the element
It is the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom. It defines what element the atom is.

Protons determine which element an atom is.
An element is a class of substances An atom is the smallest possible piece of an element. An isotope is an electrically charged atom.
is the smallest particle of an element that has the properties of that element
The element transforms itself into another element because each element have a specific number of protons. If the number of protons changes, the element changes as well. The number of protons in an atom defines it elemental identity, so if the number of protons in an element increases by one it becomes another element. Although this reference doesn't really provide a direct answer, it does provide additional information that might be of interest: http://www.answers.com/topic/proton
When an atom of one element is brought in contact with an atom of another element, electrons get transferred from one element to another. However, if the atoms of same element come together then electrons are shared and not transferred. Exception to this is elements in noble gases.
The proton, otherwise you change the element
Hydrogen is an element, there will be atom that makes up an element and not element that will turn into another.
I do not know i am gust a kid and this is my homework.
