Mercury and plutonium are chemical elements and metals.
In a nuclear reaction, the nucleus of an atom undergoes a change. Common examples would be alpha decay, beta decay, fusion, and fusion. In each of those cases, different elements are formed in the process. This never happens in ordinary chemical reactions. In chemical reactions, it is the electrons that are involved , not the nucleus of the atom.
The most common fuels used in nuclear chain reactions are 235U (uranium) and 239Pu (plutonium).
These are decomposition reactions.
Oxygen as most reactions have it although it could also be hydrogen
Mercury and plutonium are chemical elements and metals.
Some plutonium chemical compounds; plutonium dioxide, plutonium nitride, plutonium carbide, plutonium nitrate, plutonium trifluoride, plutonium chloride, etc.
Plutonium is not a common metal; it is an artificial chemical element, dangerous, expensive and is obtained only in some countries.

Metals rusting, wood or fuel burning, yeast fermenting sugar, and cellular respiration are common chemical reactions.
These are decomposition reactions.
The name of the chemical element plutonium is derived from the name of the dwarf planet Pluto; Pluto was the Roman god of the underworld.
Explain why energy is necessary to chemical reactions, and describe some common sources of energy.

Plutonium as a chemical element don't contain compounds. But plutonium, being reactive, can be combined with many elements: oxygen, hydrogen, halogens, nitrogen, carbon, sulfur, silicon, etc.
