Transmutation always involves a change in the number of protons in the atom, which changes the atomic number and the element of the atom. It also involves at least some slight change in the mass of the atom (but not necessarily the mass number, which is the number of protons plus the number of neutrons, and not the same as the actual mass).

The nuclear reaction that changes one element into another element is called a?
transmutation - same as the alchemists called it.
What is artificial transmutation?
An artificially induced nuclear reaction caused by the bombardment of a nucleus with subatomic particiles or small nucei.
A nuclear reaction in which an atoms nucleus is split into two smaller nuclei and energy is released as heat is known as?
nuclear fission
Does transmutation occur in nuclear fission?
Nuclear fission splits an atom of one element into two atoms of two different elements. This is not usually called transmutation. However, fission is accompanied by subsequent steps, which usually include transmutation.
Why does circular motion always involve acceleration?
Because it's always changing directionrequest me on facebook..........brian moore:-)
What type of reaction involve changes in the nucleus of an atom?
Transmutation
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.
A combustion reaction will always involve the release of?
Heat
Does a synthesis reaction always involve bond formation?
Yes, it does.
Why is transmutation classified as a reaction?
Transmutation is a nuclear reaction.Transmutation by chemical reactions is only a phantasy of the Middle Ages.
Change of one element into another is called what?
transmutation, neutrons
What type of chemical reaction classes always involve oxidation?
The combination of two elements (a metal and a nonmetal) is always a redox reaction.
Why is the following statement not an example of a transmutation Zinc reacts with copper sulfate to produce copper and zinc sulfate?
Transmutation refers to a nuclear reaction. The equation you have is that of single replacement - a type of a chemical reaction.
When radon undergoes natural transmutation reaction it emits?
alpha particle
When an element undergoes nuclear transmutation the result is a completely different what?
When an element undergoes nuclear transmutation the result is a completely different element or isotope. All transmutation occurs through decay or nuclear reaction.
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.
What do you call the change of one chemical element into another through nuclear reaction?
answer TRANSMUTATION
