Not all nuclear reactions are spontaneous. These reactions occur when stable isotopes are bombarded with particles such as neutrons. This method of inducing a nuclear reaction to proceed is termed artificial radioactivity. This meant new nuclear reactions, which wouldn't have been viewed spontaneously, could now be observed. Since about 1940, a set of new elements with atomic numbers over 92 (the atomic number of the heaviest naturally occurring element, Uranium) have been artificially made. They are called the transuranium elements.

Copper can be converted into gold by?
coper can be converted into gold by artificial radioactivity
What are examples of artificial radioactivity?
The bombardment of U-235 isotope with a nucleus, releasing tremendous amount of energy.
What is a sentence for radioactivity?
Chernobyl is well-known for it's dangerously high radioactivity levels.
What scientists were involved in the discovery of radioactivity?
Henri Becquerel first discovered radioactivity (by mistake).
What does ALARA mean in terms of radioactivity?
Meaning of ALARA in terms of radioactivity is As Low As Reasonably Achievable
What are examples of radioactivity?
For example natural and artificial radioactivity.
What is an examples of artificial radioactivity except U?
Uranium is not artificial radioactivity so it is not clear what the question is about.
How does artificial transmutation differ from artificial radioactivity?
"Artificial transmutation" is a nuclear reaction induced in laboratory, its man made. Artificial radioactivity is a radioactive disintegration phenomenon supported by artificial isotopes.
Radioactivity can be what?
Radioactivity can be induced in ordinary matter by artificial transmutation.
Can copper be converted into gold by artificial radioactivity?
Artifical radioactivity
Is natural radioactivity is random and artificial radioactivity is controlled?
The same laws and rules are valid for radioactive natural and artificial isotopes.
What are the differences between natural radioactivity nd artificial radioactivity?
Natural Radioactivity arises from radioactive components contained in nature. Artificial Radioactivity will come through element produced with in nuclear reactors as well as accelerators. Natural Radioactivity is a spontaneous process of disintegration. Artificial Radioactivity is carried in synthetically produced radioactive elements used in nuclear reactors.
The differences between natural and artificial radioactivity?
Natural radioactivity arises from radioactive components contained in nature. Artificial radioactivity will come through, elements produced within nuclear reactors as well as accelerators.
How are hydrates used?
hydrates are mainly used in artificial radioactivity and ............
What did Irene and Fredric Joliot-Curie discover?
artificial radioactivity.
Copper can be converted into gold by?
coper can be converted into gold by artificial radioactivity
Is bombardment of alpha particles on beryllium artificial radioactivity?
You can say that as long as the alpha particle itself is not originating from a radioactive element. If however one is able to isolate the helium nucleus from the elemental atom and then used for bombarding towards the beryllium then it is considered as an example of artificial radioactivity. Or the production of a radioactive element(synthetic element) like Francium can be considered artificial radioactivity.
