How can a new element be made?

by changing the number of neutrons in the atom

by changing the number of protons in the atom

by changing the number of electrons in the atom

new elements cannot be made from existing elements

by changing the number of protons in the atom

Explanation:

Elements are defined by their number of protons. For example, an element with 1 proton is hydrogen, and an element with 2 protons is helium. Changing the number of neutrons or electrons in a preexisting element will not make a new element. Is is possible to create new elements, but it requires large amounts of heat and/or pressure.

chemical energy is stored in the chemical bonds of atoms and molecules. it can only be seen when it is released in a chemical reaction. when chemical energy is released, the substance from which the energy came is often changed into an entirely different substance.

this chemical reaction releases energy in the form of light and heat. chemical energy is the potential energy stored in the arrangement of atoms within molecules. breaking chemical bonds requires energy, while forming new chemical bonds releases energy.

the atp molecule can store energy in the form of a high energy phosphate bond joining the terminal phosphate group to the rest of the molecule. in this form,energy can be stored at one location, then moved from one part of the cell to another, where it can be released to drive other biochemical reactions.
