Do nuclear reactions involve protons and neutrons?
yesexample is the nuclear fusion reactions that happen in the sun.In this nuclear fusion reaction:four hydrogen atoms (4 protons + 4 electrons)converts toone helium atom (2 protons + 2 neutron + 2 electrons)that means that of the 4 hydrogen protons + 4 hydrogen electrons, 2 protons + 2 electrons combined to form the helium 2 neutrons.
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!
What do you form when you change the number of protons of an atom?
The change described is nuclear transmutation. We see this with beta decay, which is a form or radioactive decay. Use the link below to the related question to check it out and lean more.These are known as isotopes.
What is argon made from?
Argon, like any other element, is made of protons, electrons, and neutrons*. It can not be made from anything else, except by nuclear reactions. _______________________________ *Except that the hydrogen-1 isotope does not contain neutrons.
What is the nuclear symbol for an element with 9 protons and 10 neutrons?
Oxygen has 6 protons and 8 neutrons (symbol O).
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.
Chemical reactions do not affect the nuclei of the reactive elements Only nuclear reactions can change the identity of the elements by changing the number of protons in the nucleus What can you conc?
Summer school sucks i know. The answer is They were produced by nuclear reactions.

Why do you think protons do not anticipate in the chemical bondings?
Protons are found inside the nucleus of an atom and requires very high energy for nuclear reactions. Chemical reactions generally involve the valence electrons.
How does nuclear reaction differs from ordinary chemical reactions?
It involves the particles of the nucleus (protons and neutrons), not the electrons.
Can an atom gain or lose protons why or why not?
Yes, but only in nuclear reactions. If an atom emits an alpha particle, it will lose two protons to the emitted particle.

Which is the source of energy of sun?
Nuclear fusion of hyrogen nuclei (protons) to produce helium
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 is the product of nuclear fusion in the sun?
In the core of the Sun (and other stars) protons (hydrogen nuclei) combine to produce Helium nuclei (alpha particles). In the process, positrons, neutrinos and gamma rays are produced. There are several nuclear reactions that form the steps that go from protons to helium nuclei and the steps impart significant kinetic energy to the products of the reactions. The products of hydrogen fusion are helium, neutrinos, electromagnetic radiation and heat energy.
What is a bundle of two protons and two neutrons called?
Helium. If there are no electrons, it is an alpha particle (typically created in nuclear reactions)
What kind of neutrons are changed into protons?
Only those involved in nuclear reactions. Ordinary chemical reaction can not effect this change.
