Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Transmutation is the process of changing one element into another by adding or removing protons (and sometimes neutrons) from the nucleus. This can be achieved through nuclear reactions such as decay, fission, or fusion. Adding or removing electrons does not change the element itself, but rather its charge and chemical properties.
