How can radioactive decay change one element into another?
When one element goes through radio active decay, it looses some alpha , beta particles and also neutrons so considering those things we should reduce number of alpha , beta and also neutrons lost by the element. from that we have to decide the element which occur after radio active decay.
The process of positron emission results in a change to the atomic nucleus. Is that change a decrease of 1 or a decrease of 2 or an increase of 1 or is there no change?
In positron emission, atomic number decreases by one. That's because a proton in the nucleus of the element that is about to undergo positron emission changes into a neutron. This is beta plus decay, by the way. You'll recall that the atomic number of an element, which is that element's chemical identity, is determined solely by the number of protons in the nucleus. If we "lose" a proton because it changes into a neutron, atomic number will now decrease by one. Check out the links below to related posts.
What is the process of removing an electron from a stable nucleus?
ionization!
What is a parent and daughter element?
Parent and daughter in chemistry refer to radioactive decay, where a radioactive isotope of an element decays into another. For example, carbon-14 will beta-decay into nitrogen-14. The half-life associated with that particular process is about 5,700 years. The "parent" is carbon-14 and the "daughter" is nitrogen-14.
Any process where the nucleus emits particles is called?
radiation
What is the process in which a new lighter element is created by the release of an alpha ray particle from an atomic nucleus?
The process in which a new lighter element is created by the release of an alpha ray particle from an atomic nucleus is called alpha decay of the original nucleus.
The process by which the nucleus of an atom changes so that a new element forms is called?
transmutation
In which process is an element of matter changed into a completely different element?
It's called transmutation. There are two types of transmutation. Natural transmutation is when an element naturally changes into another element. Artificial transmutation is when an element is forced to change into another element, usually done in a laboratory setting.
When an element's nucleus changes to that of a new element the process is called what?
"Transmutation" is the general term; this could also be called "nuclear reaction."
What is fusion Is it a chemical?
Fusion is not a chemical, it is a process. Fusion is the process by which atomic nuclei merge together to form the nucleus of a heavier element.
What is Radioactivity and artificial transmutations?
Radio Activity- The process in which an unstable atomic nucleus emits charged particles and energy Artificial Transmutations- The conversion of atoms of one element to atoms of another.
Element of communication process?
The two elements of communication are the sender and the receiver. The mode of transmission is another element of the communication process.
When elements are formed by another element why is it dangerous?
The process where an element turns to another is radioactive decay, and exposure to radioactivity is dangerous.

What is the name of the process in which the nucleus of an atom of one element is changed in to the nucleus of an atom of a different element?
Normally called transmutation. This was what the old alchemists were trying to achieve, but they didn't know about nuclear reactions.
What is the process by which the nucleus of an atom changes so that a new element is formed?
Most likely this is some sort of radioactive decay.
Is it possible for man to change an atom of one element into another if so how can this be done?
Yes, it is possible to change an atom of one element into another through a process called nuclear transmutation. This can be achieved by bombarding the nucleus of an atom with high-energy particles such as protons or neutrons. The collision can cause the nucleus to undergo various reactions, leading to the creation of new elements or isotopes.
