are atoms a renewable source?

Answer 1

Atoms can be destroyed - through nuclear fission for example. However, the destruction of atoms breaks them into smaller parts - electrons, protons, neutrons - and sometimes even smaller parts - quarks. Sometimes, under very special circumstances, the atoms themselves are completely destroyed and converted from matter into energy.

But all of these actions are reversible so by a somewhat tortured definition they are renewable. Given enough energy, you can change energy to matter, re-assemble quarks into sub-atomic particles and then put those together to make atoms.

The key is energy. To form a new atom after breaking it is called nuclear fusion. It happens naturally in stars where there is tremendous heat. Scientists can also do it in laboratories, but it is very expensive and requires a lot of energy.

I hope this helps.

Edit: If you are asking whether nuclear energy is considered a renewable energy, it's controversial. Technically, the sun is a nuclear energy source, so solar energy is nuclear - although the sun is burning a finite amount of fuel and will someday run out of fuel and burn out. It has been argued that the energy required for nuclear energy on Earth is sufficient to last longer than the planet, and since it will never run out it can be classified as renewable. But there's no obvious answer for this one.

Answer 2

Atoms do not need to be a "renewable source" as they are not destroyed in chemical reactions.

Answer 3

Theoretically -Regarding some synthetic elements like technetium, promethium, astatine, francium...Yes!
Practically, No, man is unable to convert energy into stable atomic structures...
