A chemical reaction that causes the next one
False
Nuclear
A nuclear reaction is much powerful than a chemical reaction.
No, a nuclear bomb involves a nuclear chain-reaction.A chemical reaction involves the orbiting electrons in an atom.A nuclear reaction involves the nucleus (hence "Nuclear") of an atom.
Fusion is a nuclear reaction.
it is not a chemical reaction. It is a nuclear reaction and it is called fusion.
Chemical.
No. It is a nuclear reaction - radioactive disintegration.
No, fusion is a type of nuclear reaction.
nuclear decay rates take more time and chemical reaction rates could happen fast.
One way to determine whether a reaction is chemical or nuclear is to examine the particles involved. In a chemical reaction, atoms rearrange to form new substances, but the nuclei of the atoms remain unchanged. In contrast, a nuclear reaction involves changes to the atomic nucleus, resulting in the transformation of one element into another, often accompanied by the release of significant energy and radiation. Observing such nuclear changes, like the emission of alpha or beta particles, indicates a nuclear reaction.
If an atom undergoes a chemical reaction, it involves rearrangement of electrons in the outer shell to form new chemical bonds. On the other hand, if it undergoes a nuclear reaction, it involves changes in the atomic nuclei, resulting in the formation of different elements or isotopes. To determine whether it was a chemical or nuclear reaction, observe whether there are changes in the electron configuration or in the atomic number and mass of the atom.
