How are chemical potential energy and nuclear energy different?
Chemical energy arises through reactions between atoms of different materials, whilst nuclear energy arises through reactions in the nucleus of the atoms. In chemical reactions the nuclei are not affected or changed.
What chemical reaction produces the sun and energy?
These are not chemical reactions but thermonuclear reactions.
What particles are involved in nuclear reactions but not in chemical reactions?
Neutrons
Do chemical reactions produce new atoms?
No, only nuclear reactions can.
What chemicals are in nuclear energy?
Nuclear energy is not produced by chemical reactions
How else are nuclear reactions unlike chemical reactions?
In nuclear reactions the atom itself changes while molecules and/or structural organisation of atoms do in chemical and physical changes.
What is the similarity between nuclear and chemical reaction?
Both Chemical and nuclear reactions form new substances.
Substances are changed into different substances when bonds break and form during?
Chemical bonds are made and broken by chemical reactions. After chemical bonds have been broken, then energy is released, and if a chemical bond is made, then energy is absorbed.
What is nuclear chemistry?
Nuclear chemistry is a branch of chemistry related to chemical processes involved in nuclear reactions.
How much more powerful between chemical and nuclear reactions?
A nuclear reaction is much powerful than a chemical reaction.
What is the starting material for nuclear fission?
You must not ask "what element", but "what isotope". Uranium-235 is one example of an ISOTOPE that is appropriate for nuclear fission. Uranium-238 is the same for chemical reactions, but for purposes of nuclear reactions, different isotopes must be considered to be different types of atoms.
What is the most important characteristic of a nuclear reaction?
Nuclear reactions involve the reaction of nuclei and does not involve transfer of electron as in regular chemical reactions.
