∙ 13y agoNuclear reactions are all about the nucleus. Nucleons are governed by the strong force. The strong force is much bigger than the electromagnetic force and the nucleons are much closer to each other than electrons are.

∙ 12y agoThe simplest answer, though not the entire one, is that the energy is released during reactions depends on the strength of the bonds being broken to produce that energy.
The bonds being broken during a nuclear fission reaction are so much stronger than those being broken during a chemical reaction.

Describe the role of energy in chemical reactions?
Chemical reactions that release energy often occur spontaneously. Chemical reactions that absorb energy will not occur without energy.
Nuclear reactions release large amounts of A. energy B. Carbon C. uranium D. compounds?
Nuclear reactions release large amounts of energy.
How is endothermic reactions differ from exothermic reactions?
Endothermic chemical reactions absorb more energy than they release, while exothermic chemical reactions release more energy than they absorb.
How do you convert nuclear energy into chemical energy?
I don't know of any way to do this. Nuclear energy simply provides heat, so could conceivably be used to drive chemical reactions, but I don't think this has ever been done.
How is thermal energy involed in chemical reactions?
Reactions involve absorption and release of thermal energy. Heat is either absorbed or released.
What chemical reaction release thermal energy?
only nuclear reactionsChemical reactions that release free energy are called exergonic reactions. Fire and cellular respiration are examples of exergonic reactions.
What chemicals are in nuclear energy?
Nuclear energy is not produced by chemical reactions
What chemical reaction produces the sun and energy?
These are not chemical reactions but thermonuclear reactions.
How are chemical potential energy and nuclear energy different?
Chemical energy arises through reactions between atoms of different materials, whilst nuclear energy arises through reactions in the nucleus of the atoms. In chemical reactions the nuclei are not affected or changed.
What do nuclear reactions release?
energy

Nuclear reactions release large amounts of energy.
How is endothermic reactions differ from exothermic reactions?
Endothermic chemical reactions absorb more energy than they release, while exothermic chemical reactions release more energy than they absorb.
Nuclear reactions result in tremendous amounts of?
Energy, in the release of binding energy
In situations involving equal masses reactions produce more energy than chemical reactions.?
nuclear more
How are fusion and fission similar to chemical energy?
They are not similar, as fusion and fission involve changes to the nucleus whereas chemical energy involves the bonds between atoms
Chemical reactions that release energy do if occur or don't?
These are called exothermic reactions.
