SUMMARY
All elements and their isotopes can undergo transmutation through bombardment with various particles, including alpha particles, protons, and neutrons, at different energy levels. This process is a fundamental concept in nuclear chemistry, demonstrating that transmutation is not limited to a select few elements. The discussion highlights the theoretical framework behind transmutation, confirming its applicability across the periodic table.
