Nuclear reactions change the composition of an atom's nucleus, hence nuclear reaction.

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.


How else are nuclear reactions unlike chemical reactions?

In nuclear reactions the atom itself changes while molecules and/or structural organisation of atoms do in chemical and physical changes.


Are atoms created or distroyed in a chemical?

i think that in nuclear reactions but in normal reaction not created and destroyedAdded:No, never created or destroyed. Only in nuclear reactions some atoms may change in other atoms (by decay or fusion) but still not (totally) distroyed.


Are atoms destructible?

Atoms are not destructible in the sense that they cannot be destroyed or eliminated. However, they can undergo nuclear reactions or nuclear decay processes where the atom may change into a different element.


Do nitrogen atoms ever change into other kinds of atoms?

Nitrogen atoms do not spontaneously change into other kinds of atoms. However, in nuclear reactions or processes like radioactive decay, nitrogen atoms can be converted into different atoms.


Is fusion a mechanical or chemical or nuclear?

Fusion of smaller atoms to form larger atome is a nuclear change. Ex: 4 hydrogen atoms FUSE to form an atom of helium through a compeles set of nuclear reactions.


Is fusion a chemical a mechanical or a nuclear?

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?

Chemical reactions involve changes in the electron configuration of atoms, not the nuclei. In contrast, nuclear reactions alter the nuclei of atoms by changing the number of protons, which can result in the transformation of one element into another. Chemical reactions do not have the ability to change the identity of elements based on the number of protons in the nucleus.


Properties that can change the chemical composition of matter?

Heat: Applying heat can cause atoms to rearrange and form new chemical bonds, resulting in a change in the chemical composition of matter. Light: Certain wavelengths of light can excite electrons in atoms, leading to chemical reactions and a change in the composition of matter. Catalysts: Catalysts are substances that can speed up chemical reactions without being consumed, leading to a change in the chemical composition of matter. Acids and bases: Acids can donate protons while bases can accept them, causing chemical reactions that alter the composition of matter.


Do atoms last forever in the universe?

Atoms do not last forever in the universe. Over time, atoms can break apart or combine with other atoms through various processes, such as nuclear reactions or chemical reactions. This means that atoms can change and transform, rather than remaining unchanged indefinitely.


Is is possible to convert atoms of one element into atoms of another?

According to Dalton's atomic theory chemical reactions occur when atoms are separated, joined, or rearranged. Atoms of one element, however, are never changed into atoms of another element as a result of a chemical reaction (it is possible only during nuclear reactions and radioactive disintegration).


What is the process where in a nuclear reactions of atom are being transformed into atoms of simple element?

nuclear fission
