When a rocket is launched is it physical chemical or nuclear change?
when fireworks go off, the energy released show a chemical reaction. gasses such as carbon dioxide and particles of smoke go up in the air.
What happens to total amount of mass in chemical reaction?
The mass remains conserved... while it is in case of a nuclear reaction where the total mass changes... in chemical reaction there is no change in mass...
A reaction to a change is called a?
A reaction to a change
Reaction that involves a change in the nucleus?
The general term is "nuclear reaction". An atom may emit alpha, beta, or gamma rays; it may split into two or three smaller parts (fission), or two lighter atoms may combine into a heavier one (fusion).
What is subatomic particle in an atom has a negative electrical change?
This particle from the atom is the electron.
What is nuclear change reaction?
its a changw
What is it called when the number of protons in an atom change?
The only way to change the number of protons in an atom is with a nuclear reaction.
Nuclear reactions change the composition of an atom's?
Nuclear reactions change the composition of an atom's nucleus, hence nuclear reaction.
What does the term nuclear reaction refer to?
The term nuclear reaction is a general one, and it refers to any change in atomic nuclei. There are a lot of different ones (nuclear changes) that qualify, so let's look at some. A nuclear reaction could be a nuclear decay event where a single atomic nucleus undergoes a change. Alpha decay, beta decay, spontaneous fission and even gamma emission are nuclear reactions. Additionally, a nuclear reaction could refer to the interaction of a subatomic particle and an atomic nucleus, like neutron capture in nuclear chain reactions. Further, nuclear fusion, which is constantly going on in our sun, is also considered a nuclear reaction because lighter atomic nuclei are fused together to make heavier ones. As there are a number of "flavors" of nuclear reactions, we leave a reader a variety of options to choose from when we apply this term. It may help to be more specific, depending on the way this term is used.
Which of the following statements is true Chemical reaction rates vary with the conditions of the change but nuclear rates do not Nuclear decay rates vary with the condition?
"Chemical reaction rates vary with the conditions of the change but nuclear rates do not."
How did the Manhattan project change the world?
It created the first controlled nuclear reaction, as well as nuclear weapons.
What is used to change a stable isotope into a radioactive one?
A nuclear reaction
What parts of an atom can change during a nuclear reaction that can't change in a chemical reaction?
the number of protons and neutrons
In a nuclear power plant what is used to change water to steam?
Heat from the nuclear reaction changes water to steam.
Is a change that produces a new element a physical change?
No, it is a chemical change. ---------------------------------- Yes, it is a physical change because this change not involve a chemical reaction but a nuclear reaction followed by a change in the number of protons and neutrons.
Does a nuclear change result from a chemical reaction?
Nope. (Well, the chemical reaction of the high explosives in an A- or H-bomb warhead result in high pressure that then results in a nuclear change (BOOM), but that's a side-effect, not a direct result of the chemical change.)
What subatomic particles are involved in chemical reactivity?
Hi! There aren't just one kind of chemical reactivity. If you are thinkig about an oxidation, e.g., you must know that just electrons are swapped between the atoms. Other kind of chemical reaction is the phase change of a substance (e.g. water), whose doesn't evolves parcticles swapping, but just energy level's change. However, you must know that, if protons and neutrons react, they will shot radiation, and in this case it isn't a chemical reaction but a NUCLEAR reaction (that can be nuclear fusion - as the sun - or nuclear fission - as the Hiroshima's bomb). Finaly, to identify a chemic reaction you must pay atention to this effects: 1. Formation of gas. 2. Change of color. 3. Change of temperature. 4.Formation of a solid that didn't exist in the begining of the reaction. I hope this text should be helpful. Bye
