There are just 4 types of elements found in the Periodic Table, One type is metal, other type is nonmetal , another is metalloid and transition elements.

The question is about the example of transition elements.

so there are loads of example in the periodic table of transition elements.

for example , Radium, Uranium,Thorium , Ytterbium, curium, fermium, plutonium , actinium, terbium, holmium, thulium, lutetium, berkelium , hafnium, tantalum , zirconium, vanadium, scandium, yttrium,etc

What is transmutation?

Transmutation is the changing of elements, an example would be converting an average metal into precious gold.


Is transmutation of elements and nuclear transmutation are same?

Yes.


Who discovered transmutation?

Transmutation was discovered by Marie Curie. The discovery was from a result of elements decaying. Later on, a form called Artificial Transmutation was discovered by Ernest Rutherford.


When elements are increased by atomic numbers what is this called?

"Transmutation" or possibly "nuclear fusion."


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 are Elements whose atomic numbers are greater than 92 are sometimes referred to as the transmutation elements?

Because no element with an atomic number greater than 92 occurs naturally; any such element is made by transmutation of another element.


Can transmutation reactions occur when the neutrons of various elements are bombarded by alpha particles?

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 would an elements atomic number change after transmutation?

Transmutation by definition means the conversion of one element into another, and so it follows that its atomic number must also change. Every element has a unique atomic number.


Is the process of changing one element into another through nuclear decay?
