Which particles that make up an atom are involved in nuclear reactions?
Protons, electrons, and neutrons are the subatomic particles that are involved in nuclear reactions.
What is nuclear chemistry?
Nuclear chemistry is a branch of chemistry related to chemical processes involved in nuclear reactions.
Why doesn't an atoms identity change during a chemical change?
The energy involved in chemical reactions is not so strong to affect the identity of atoms; only nuclear reactions can modify an atom.
What chemical reaction produces the sun and energy?
These are not chemical reactions but thermonuclear reactions.
Conversion of subatomic particles occurs in?
Nuclear reactions
Subatomic particles in chemical reactions?
Which particles are involved when atoms form molecules ? All matter consists of atoms. The primary particles involved are electrons, which are charged negatively; protons that are positively charged, and neutrons; they have no charge. These are all that have importance in chemistry. There are some other very small particles, but they are studied by physicists in the field of nuclear particle physics. Electrons are the only particle involved in chemical reactions. Atoms form compounds using chemical reactions.

What is nuclear chemistry?
Nuclear chemistry is a branch of chemistry related to chemical processes involved in nuclear reactions.
How does nuclear reaction differs from ordinary chemical reactions?
It involves the particles of the nucleus (protons and neutrons), not the electrons.
Do All the subatomic particles participate in chemical reactions?
Usually, only electrons participate in chemical reations. The other subatomic particles play a larger role in nuclear chemistry.
Why doesn't an atoms identity change during a chemical change?
The energy involved in chemical reactions is not so strong to affect the identity of atoms; only nuclear reactions can modify an atom.
Which part of an atom plays a major role in chemical reactions?
Chemical reactions are a result of valence electron transfer and/or sharing. Valence electrons are located in the outer-most orbitals of the reactant elements. In a sense, though, you could say protons are also involved in chemical reactions. Although an element will never donate, accept, or share protons in a CHEMICAL reaction, they are part of the determination in an elements reactivity. Reactions that do involve protons are termed "nuclear reactions," and are not chemical reactions. In fact, a lot of the methods used to determine chemical reactions -- such as enthalpy -- cannot even be applied to nuclear reactions. Neutrons, like protons are involved in nuclear reactions, but never in chemical reactions. Hope this helps!
Where did lawrencium come from?
Lawrencium is obtained by nuclear reactions in linear accelerators.
What chemical reaction produces the sun and energy?
These are not chemical reactions but thermonuclear reactions.
What does transmutation involve?
Transmutation of elements refers to the conversion of one chemical element into another. This occurs in nuclear reactions or through radioactive decay.
What kind of neutrons are changed into protons?
Only those involved in nuclear reactions. Ordinary chemical reaction can not effect this change.
Conversion of subatomic particles occurs in?
Nuclear reactions
