Which term represents a type of nuclear reaction?

1. condensation
2. vaporization
3. single replacement
4. natural transmutation

Nuclear reaction is defined as the reaction in which change in nucleus takes place.
From the given options:
Option 1: ** Condensation**
Conde nsation is defined as a physical process in which gaseous particles changes to liquid particles by decreasing temperature. No change in nucleus takes place.
Option 2: ** Vaporization**
Vaporization is defined as a physical process in which liquid particles changes to gaseous particles by increasing temperature.** No change in nucleus takes place.**
Option 3: ** Single displacement reaction**
**Single displacement reaction **is defined as the chemical reaction in which more reactive element displaces the less reactive element. No change in nucleus takes place.
Option 4: ** Natural transmutation**
Natural transmutation is defined as the process as the conversion of one element into another element. An element is defined by its number of protons that is atomic number. If this process occurs anywhere, number of protons or neutrons is changed. Thus, this process will change in the nucleus.
Hence, the correct answer is Option 4.

The term that represents a type of nuclear reaction is (4) Natural transmutation. This process involves the transformation of one element into another through radioactive decay. It is distinct from physical and chemical processes that do not alter the atomic nucleus.
