Best Answer

Scientists can bombard atomic nuclei with high-energy particles such as protons, neutrons, or alpha particles. Scientists synthesize a transuranium element by the artificial transmutation of a lighter element. ... It involves nuclear change, not chemical change. NOTE nuclear decay is a transmutation that happens naturally

It is used to create new nuclides which are not found in nature, especially if the new nuclide has a short half-life

I really have no clue.:(

The answer is: They bombard nuclei with high-energy particles, such as protons, neutrons, or alpha particles (^.^)

It seems that the main method used is to bombard heavy nuclei with other, medium-heavy, nuclei, and hope that they collide and form a few atoms of a still-heavier element.

Why transuranic element known synthetic elements?

Because these radioactive elements were obtained artificially, they are man made.


How do you use transmute in a sentence?

Transmute is a verb meaning to change from one thing into another, to transform. Transmuted is the past tense. Here are examples of use: "Although it was their goal, no alchemists successfully transmuted lead into gold." "It was thought that vampires transmuted into bats."

Are there no new elements to be discovered?

No. Uranium is the heaviest naturally occurring element. More elements can be prepared artificially. New isotopes of the element may be discovered.

What is the difference between an element and a native element?

Elements can either be synthetic or natural. Synthetic elements are made artificially in laboratories, while natural elements exist in their natural state in nature. Natural elements can further be defined as native elements. These elements exist in their uncombined state.


What are the atomic numbers 81-100?

Elements 89-100 are the Actinide series of elements, most of which are radioactive, and some of which can only be made artificially. Elements 81-88 are also likely to be radioactive, but are naturally occurring.
