Nuclear energy is not a chemical process, you don't add chemicals together to get a resultant compound as in chemical processes. When a uranium nucleus fissions, you get two results called the fission products, which are two lighter elements, but there is a range of elements produced, not every fission produces the same result. If you look up 'Fission Products' in wikipedia you will get some idea. See link below.

Nuclear fusion produces nuclear energy


Is released during chemical reactions and is released during nuclear reactions?

Energy is released during both chemical and nuclear reactions, but the mechanisms and amounts differ significantly. In chemical reactions, energy is typically released or absorbed through the breaking and forming of chemical bonds. In contrast, nuclear reactions release energy due to changes in the nucleus of atoms, often involving the conversion of mass to energy as described by Einstein's equation, E=mc². Nuclear reactions generally release much more energy than chemical reactions.


When does chemical energy change into nuclear energy?

Chemical energy does not change into nuclear energy. Chemical energy is associated with the bonds between atoms in molecules, whereas nuclear energy is associated with changes in the nucleus of an atom, such as nuclear fission or fusion.

What similarities do nuclear energy and chemical energy share?

Both nuclear energy and chemical energy involve the release of stored energy from a substance. However, nuclear energy is released from the nucleus of an atom through nuclear reactions, while chemical energy is released from the rearrangement of atoms in chemical reactions. Both forms of energy can be harnessed for various applications.


Is chemical energy a form of nuclear energy?

No, chemical energy and nuclear energy are two distinct forms of energy. Chemical energy is released during chemical reactions involving the rearrangement of atoms in a molecule, while nuclear energy is released during nuclear reactions involving changes in the atomic nucleus.


What do nuclear energy and chemical energy have in common?

Nuclear energy and chemical energy both involve potential energy stored within particles or bonds. However, nuclear energy involves changes in the nucleus of an atom (nuclear reactions), while chemical energy involves changes in the arrangement of atoms and electrons in molecules (chemical reactions).
