The change that is undergone by an atom of an element made radioactive by bombardment with high-energy protons is called(1) natural transmutation(2) artificial transmutation(3) natural decay(4) radioactive decay

The correct answer is Option 2.

Explanation:

Natural transmutation is defined as the decay process of the radioactive elements which occur spontaneously by a process that causes transmutation.

Artificial transmutation is defined as the process where artificially induced nuclear reaction is done by the bombardment of nucleus with high energy particles on a radioactive element. It is a spontaneous reaction.

Natural decay or radioactive decay are the processes in which a nucleus disintegrates spontaneously on its own. There are many processes by which this decay takes place.

Hence, the correct answer is Option 2.

for points guys

2fe + 3h2so4 -> fe2(so4)3 + 3h2

it is necessary to balance equations in order to get the proper amount of reactants as well as products in order not to make a miscalculation.

you cannot change the subscripts as that would change the substance itself. for instance, diatomic elements such as h2 only have the subscript two when a gas. another example would be so4, if you were to change the subscript, the element would no longer be sulfate.

we change the coefficients instead as that only changes the number of molecules rather than the substance itself.

hope this !
