Fission and fusion is an example of what kind of energy?
One type of atom (element or isotope) is converted to another. This is called nuclear reaction.
Is thorium emits a beta particle a chemical reaction?
No, thorium emitting a beta particle is a nuclear reaction, not a chemical reaction. In a beta decay process, a neutron in the thorium nucleus converts into a proton, emitting a beta particle (an electron) and an antineutrino. This type of decay is a form of radioactive decay, which is a nuclear process involving changes in the nucleus of an atom.
What is artificial transmutation?
Artificial transmutation is the process of changing one element into another by bombarding the target element with high-energy particles such as protons or neutrons. This method is commonly used in nuclear reactions to create new elements or isotopes that do not exist in nature.
What term describes the reaction process in a fission reaction?
another name for nuclear fission is: E=MC squared
What type of energy is release when one element decay into another elements?
Nuclear energy is released when one element decays into another element, as a result of the changes in the nucleus of the atom, such as radioactive decay. This process can release energy in the form of particles or electromagnetic radiation.
Which is one way to determine whether a reaction was a chemical reaction or a nuclear reaction?
One way to determine whether a reaction is chemical or nuclear is to examine the particles involved. In a chemical reaction, atoms rearrange to form new substances, but the nuclei of the atoms remain unchanged. In contrast, a nuclear reaction involves changes to the atomic nucleus, resulting in the transformation of one element into another, often accompanied by the release of significant energy and radiation. Observing such nuclear changes, like the emission of alpha or beta particles, indicates a nuclear reaction.
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 do you call the change of one chemical element into another through nuclear reaction?
answer TRANSMUTATION
Fission and fusion is an example of what kind of energy?
One type of atom (element or isotope) is converted to another. This is called nuclear reaction.
Can gold be changed into another element?
An element can only change if the number of protons in its nucleus changes. It is possible to make one kind of element into another, but all these processes can be accomplished only by nuclear means. Gold can be changed into another element in a physics lab, but only with the use of a nuclear reactor or an accelerator of some kind. Any element can be changed into another element, but only by nuclear means.
In physics what name is given to the change of one chemical element into another through nuclear reaction?
transmutation
How do you change a gas into hydrogen?
Hydrogen is an element. You cannot change one element to another without a nuclear reaction. However, hydrogen gas can be changed to liquid hydrogen by compressing and cooling it. Liquid changes to gas by releasing pressure, and warming it.
What does transmutation involve?
Transmutation of elements refers to the conversion of one chemical element into another. This occurs in nuclear reactions or through radioactive decay.
Why is a transmutation calssified as a nuclear reaction?
because that's what it takes to change one element to another, a change to the nucleus.
Change of one element into another is called what?
transmutation, neutrons
Transmutation reactions can occur when the?
In nuclear science, transmutation is where one chemical element or isotope is converted into another. It occurs when materials decay, or it can be caused by nuclear reaction.
