 Nuclear Science
However, there is another branch of science that deals with changes in the number of protons and neutrons in an atom's nucleus.
Radioactivity is the result of a natural change of an isotope of one element into an isotope of a different element.
Unlike normal chemical reactions that form molecules, nuclear reactions involve sub-atomic particles and result in the transformation of one element into a different isotope or a different element altogether (remember that the number of protons in an element defines the element type).
