Does the explosion in a nuclear bomb count as a rapid chemical reaction?

No, a nuclear bomb involves a nuclear chain-reaction.A chemical reaction involves the orbiting electrons in an atom.A nuclear reaction involves the nucleus (hence "Nuclear") of an atom.


Which part of atom take part in nuclear reaction?

A nuclear reaction involves changes in the nucleus of an atom, and it is from the atomic nucleus that energy is released in a nuclear reaction.


How does nuclear reaction differs from ordinary chemical reactions?

It involves the particles of the nucleus (protons and neutrons), not the electrons.


What is the difference between nuclear reaction in a nuclear pl ant and in a nuclear bomb?

The answer can certainly be more complicated and detailed, but simply- the reaction in a nuclear power point is designed to be a "slow" controlled reaction that can be monitored and "shut down", with a nuclear power point having multiple safeguards. To the contrary, a nuclear weapon's reaction is designed to be the opposite- violent and uncontrollable so that once detonation has begun, the results are catastrophic.


What is the difference between a nuclear decay from a chemical reaction?

Nuclear decay involves the contents of the atomic nucleus, the protons and neutrons. Chemical reactions involve the electrons.


What type of reaction causes stars to combine hydrogen and release massive amounts of radiation?

This involves "nuclear fusion" reactions.


Why is nuclear energy called Nuclear energy?

Because it is energy derived from the heat made by a (Hopefully) controlled nuclear reaction. The nuclear reaction involves the nucleus of Uranium 235 (or possibly Plutonium 239) fissioning or splitting which releases a large amount of energy, so it is a nuclear process, not a chemical one such as would occur between atoms or molecules.

State wether a nuclear fusion is a chemical reaction or a nuclear reaction?

What type of reaction happens inside a nuclear power plant?

A nuclear chain reaction nuclear fission


What reaction involves the exchange of protons and neutrons?

Outside of a particle accelerator they aren't. It is a nuclear reaction although an actual exchange of protons would be very unlikely (depending on what you mean by "exchange").


How do you say nuclear reaction in German?
