The transuranium synthesis process involves creating a transuranium element through the transmutation of a lighter element.
So, the answer would be the C the transmutation of a lighter element.
Transuranium elements are the elements with atomic numbers greater than 92. All of these elements are unstable and decay radioactively into other elements.
Ions are atoms with a charge other than zero. In a neutral atom, the number of protons (positively charged particles) in the nucleus equals the number of electrons orbiting the nucleus.
Atoms can gain or lose electrons (not protons) resulting in a net charge other than zero. Atoms which lose electrons (usually metals) become positively charges, and atoms which gain electrons (usually nonmetals) become negatively charged.
Answer to his question is C
