What separates a chemical reaction from a nuclear reaction?
Mfrench3691
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.

An amtom undergoes a reaction ant attains a more stable from how do you know is it was chemical or nuclear reaction?
If an atom undergoes a reaction and attains a more stable form, you know if the reaction was a chemical reaction or a nuclear reaction by studying what exactly happened to the atom.
