It is when the process of changing one element to another through nuclear decay.

Transmutation is the process of changing one element to another through nuclear decay. In alpha decay two protons and neutrons are lost from the nucleus.

transmutation is the process of and element changing from one to another in nuclear decay. in alpha two protons and neutrons.

A transmutation is the process of changing one element to another through nucleur decay. In alpha decay, two protons and two neutrons are lost from the nucleus. The new element has an atomic number that is two less than that of the original element.

Transmutation is the process of one element changing into another element through nuclear decay. In alpha decay two protons and two neutrons are lost from the nucleas.

Transmutation is the changing of one element to another throught nuclear decay. In alpha decay, two protons, and two neutrons are lost from the nucleus.

Transmutation is the process of changing one elemtent to another through nuclear decay. When alpha decay occurs, 2 protons and neutrons are lost from the nucleus, and the atomic number is two less than the origanl one. The mass number is four less than the original one.

Transmutation is the process of changing one element to another through nuclear decay. It is related because if an alpha particle is given off, it can change the element.

When an alpha particle leaves the nucleus. An alpha particle is similar to a helium nucleus, with two neutrons and two protons. When it leaves the nucleus, it takes away two protons, which changes the atom into another element.

a transmutaion is the process of chaning one element to another through nuclear decay. it is related to alpha particles because in alpha decay two protons and neutrons are lost from the nucleus

Well Transmutation is proabably the process of changing one element ino another.... through nuclear decay. and in alpha decay two protons and neutrons are lost from the nucleus.

Transmutation is the changing from one element to another through nuclear decay. When there is alpha decay, 2 neutrons and 2 protons are lost. The atomic mass is 2 less than the original and new mass is 4 less than the original. So when a alpha particle goes through transmutation, it looses 2 neutrons and 2 protons.

Transmutation is like the process of changing one element to another through nuclear decay. It is related to alpha particles because in alpha decay two protons and two neutrons are lost form tne nucleus. Then there is some elemnt and it shows the nulclear transmutation caused by the alpha particle.

Well a transmutation iis tha process of changging an element to another through nuclear decay. In Alpha decay there are 2 neutrons and prontons gone from the nucleus. Instead of the one.

It's the process of changing one elemnt to another. You change it through numleur decay. Alpha decay is when two protons and two neutrons are lost from the nucleus.

Transmutation is the transformation of one nucleus into another. When you are transforming alpha particles, 2 protons and 2 neutrons are lost from the nucleus that was transformed.

trevor said...

it is the process of changing one element to a differnt element though nuclear decay. and in alpha
decay is 2 protons and neutrins are gone from the neuclues.

Transmutation is the process of changing one element into another by nuclear decay that is what transmutation.

Buckshot said...

Transmutation is the process of chsnging one element to another through nuclear decay. in alpha decay two protntons and two neutrons are lost from the nucleus. the new element has an aromin # 2 less than that of the orignal element.

Transmutation is the process of changing one element to another through nuclear decay. In alpha decay, two protons and two neurtons are lost from the nucleus. So they both have to do with the nucleus.

Transmutation is the process of changing one element to another element by using nuclear decay. Alpha decay is made of to protons and two nuetrons that are lost from the nucleus and has an atomic number decresed than its atomic mass.

Transmutation is the process of changing one element to another through nuclear decay. in an alpha decay, you have two protons and two neutrons are lost from the nucleus. the new element has an atomic # that is 2 less than that of the original element. th emass # of the new element is 4 less than the original element.
