👉 The term "transuranian" is used in physics and chemistry to describe a radioactive element that has been altered by adding an extra electron to its nucleus. This extra electron creates an unstable nucleus, which can undergo nuclear fusion reactions to produce energy. The resulting fusion products are heavier than the original element, but their atomic numbers are higher than the original. As a result, transuranic elements have a high tendency to recombine with other elements in nature, creating new stable isotopes of the same
