What allows one atom to physically interact with a second atom?
Electrons are the particles in atoms that are involved in chemical reactions.
Nuclear fission reactions involve the .?
Splitting of atom
Nuclear Reactions involve what part of the atom?
The Nucleus
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 are the negatively charged particles within an atom that are involved in chemical reactions?
Those would be the electrons (found "orbiting" the atomic nucleus). Chemical reactions normally involve transfer or sharing of the "outer shell" electrons.
Reactions involving the particles in the nucleus of an atom are called what?
Nuclear Fusion. This process involves 'fusing' together two smaller nuclei to form a bigger nucleus.
Nuclear reactions change the composition of an atom's?
Nuclear reactions change the composition of an atom's nucleus, hence nuclear reaction.

Negatively charged particles of an atom?
Nuclear

How does uranium break?
The uranium atom can be breakdown by nuclear reactions.
What nuclear weapons depend on fission reactions?
The atom bomb
Process when an Atom change from stable to unstable?
Nuclear reactions
What is the process where in a nuclear reactions of atom are being transformed into atoms of simple element?
nuclear fission
How do you alter nucleus of an atom?
The nucleus is altered during nuclear reactions.
