The subatomic particles that can change in a nuclear reaction are protons, neutrons, and electrons. During nuclear reactions, these particles can be gained or lost, leading to the formation of different elements and isotopes.

What is it called when the number of protons in an atom change?

The only way to change the number of protons in an atom is with a nuclear reaction.


Which subatomic particles can't change?

Neutrons are stable subatomic particles and do not decay or change into other particles under normal conditions. However, electrons do not undergo nuclear decay but can change in energy levels within an atom.


What does the term nuclear reaction refer to?

The term nuclear reaction is a general one, and it refers to any change in atomic nuclei. There are a lot of different ones (nuclear changes) that qualify, so let's look at some. A nuclear reaction could be a nuclear decay event where a single atomic nucleus undergoes a change. Alpha decay, beta decay, spontaneous fission and even gamma emission are nuclear reactions. Additionally, a nuclear reaction could refer to the interaction of a subatomic particle and an atomic nucleus, like neutron capture in nuclear chain reactions. Further, nuclear fusion, which is constantly going on in our sun, is also considered a nuclear reaction because lighter atomic nuclei are fused together to make heavier ones. As there are a number of "flavors" of nuclear reactions, we leave a reader a variety of options to choose from when we apply this term. It may help to be more specific, depending on the way this term is used.

Which of the following statements is true Chemical reaction rates vary with the conditions of the change but nuclear rates do not Nuclear decay rates vary with the condition?

Nuclear decay rates do not vary with the conditions of the change; they are constant for a given isotope. On the other hand, chemical reaction rates can vary with conditions such as temperature, pressure, and the presence of catalysts.


In a nuclear power plant what is used to change water to steam?

Heat from the nuclear reaction changes water to steam.


Does a nuclear change result from a chemical reaction?

Nope. (Well, the chemical reaction of the high explosives in an A- or H-bomb warhead result in high pressure that then results in a nuclear change (BOOM), but that's a side-effect, not a direct result of the chemical change.)


During nuclear reaction two protons change into what?

In the nuclear fusion process in the sun, two protons change into a proton and a neutron, plus also a positron and a neutrino. This is part of the synthesis of helium and release of energy which powers the sun. You can see the complete chain of reaction at the link below
