What else can I help you with?
The nuclear reaction that changes one element into another element is called a?
transmutation - same as the alchemists called it.
Does transmutation occur in nuclear fission?
No, transmutation involves changing one element into another via nuclear reactions, while nuclear fission is the splitting of an atomic nucleus into smaller parts. While new elements can be formed during fission, it is not considered transmutation as the original element's nucleus is merely being split.
Transmutation does not occur in which of these nuclear processes?
Transmutation does not occur in nuclear fission, where atomic nuclei are split into smaller fragments. Transmutation involves changing the identity of an atomic nucleus by altering the number of protons and neutrons it contains, which occurs in nuclear fusion reactions and radioactive decay processes.
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
What causes transmutation?
Transmutation is caused by changing the number of protons in an atom's nucleus, which can occur through nuclear reactions such as fission or fusion. These reactions can result in the transformation of one element into another, creating new isotopes or elements.
Is transmutation of elements and nuclear transmutation are same?
Transmutation of elements generally refers to changing one element into another by altering the number of protons in the nucleus, while nuclear transmutation specifically refers to inducing such changes through nuclear reactions (such as bombarding a nucleus with particles). In this sense, nuclear transmutation is a type of transmutation of elements.
Change of one element into another is called what?
transmutation, neutrons
The nuclear reaction that changes one element into another element is called a?
transmutation - same as the alchemists called it.
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.
All nuclear reactions due to nuclear transmutation?
Nuclear transmutation refers to the process where one element is transformed into another through nuclear reactions. Some examples of nuclear reactions involving transmutation include alpha decay, beta decay, fission, and fusion. These reactions result in the formation of different elements with unique atomic numbers and mass numbers.
Why is transmutation classified as a reaction?
Transmutation is a nuclear reaction.Transmutation by chemical reactions is only a phantasy of the Middle Ages.
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.
Does transmutation occur in nuclear fission?
No, transmutation involves changing one element into another via nuclear reactions, while nuclear fission is the splitting of an atomic nucleus into smaller parts. While new elements can be formed during fission, it is not considered transmutation as the original element's nucleus is merely being split.
Transmutation does not occur in which of these nuclear processes?
Transmutation does not occur in nuclear fission, where atomic nuclei are split into smaller fragments. Transmutation involves changing the identity of an atomic nucleus by altering the number of protons and neutrons it contains, which occurs in nuclear fusion reactions and radioactive decay processes.
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.
What is the transmutation that is not spontaneous?
A non-spontaneous transmutation is one that requires external energy or a trigger to occur. This can involve bombarding a nucleus with high-energy particles, such as in particle accelerators, to induce the transformation. Examples include transmuting uranium into plutonium for nuclear fuel production.
Which fact about transmutation is not true?
Transmutation is the process of changing one element into another through nuclear reactions. It is not possible to transmute elements using simple chemical reactions.
