Which statement describes the differences between chemical reactions and nuclear decay rates?
Nuclear decay rates vary, but chemical reaction rates are constant
Radioactive decay is chemical reaction or?
it is type of nuclear reaction because nucleus is involve in this type of reaction while in ordinary chemical reaction only valance electron of atoms involve

The difference between nuclear waste and nuclear weapons?
The exact contents of radioactive waste from a nuclear power plant and radioactive fallout from a nuclear weapon can vary widely but are likely to be similar in their primary isotopes.The major difference between the radioactive waste from a nuclear power plant and radioactive fallout from a nuclear weapon is that the waste is normally contained and will not enter the environment (unless an accident happens) while the fallout is dispersed into the environment and is carried by the wind (sometimes all the way around the world multiple times).
What chemical can destroy nuclear waste?
Nuclear waste has three different types: alpha, beta and gamma. Alpha (helium nucleus) and beta (electron or positron) are subatomic particles, meaning they are pieces of atoms. Gamma is an energy wave. Gamma is the most dangerous type of radioactive waste, although all nuclear waste is potentially hazardous. When a nuclear reaction happens, pieces of atoms fly off and release the energy that held them together, producing gamma radiation as well as the energy we convert into electricity at nuclear power plants. Because nuclear waste is made up of "broken" atoms, it will require a nuclear reaction to get rid of them, essentially putting the atoms back together and reabsorbing the gamma radiation. Unfortunately, chemicals alone are not strong enough to get rid of nuclear waste. Chemicals, or rather radioactive metals, combined with a powerful "reverse" nuclear reactor may work. Scientists have been working on a solution for a few years now. Check out this article: (See related Link)
How much more powerful between chemical and nuclear reactions?
A nuclear reaction is much powerful than a chemical reaction.
Is fusion a type of chemical reaction?
False
State wether a nuclear fusion is a chemical reaction or a nuclear reaction?
Nuclear
How is a nuclear fusion the same as a chemical reaction?
They are...reactions and can lead to new elements; but the big difference is that a nuclear fusion involve particles from the atomic nucleus and a very great energy is needed.
Which statement describes the differences between chemical reactions and nuclear decay rates?
Nuclear decay rates vary, but chemical reaction rates are constant
What separates a chemical reaction from a nuclear reaction?
In a nuclear reaction, the nucleus of an atom undergoes a change. Common examples would be alpha decay, beta decay, fusion, and fusion. In each of those cases, different elements are formed in the process. This never happens in ordinary chemical reactions. In chemical reactions, it is the electrons that are involved , not the nucleus of the atom.
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.
What does NOT describe a nuclear reaction?
A nuclear reaction does not involve the breaking or forming of chemical bonds between atoms. Instead, it involves changes in the nucleus of atoms, such as nuclear fission or fusion. Additionally, a nuclear reaction does not typically release energy through the rearrangement of electrons in an atom's outer shell like a chemical reaction does.
Is fusion chemical nuclear or mechanical?
Fusion is a nuclear reaction.
What chemical reaction produces heat and energy in a star?
it is not a chemical reaction. It is a nuclear reaction and it is called fusion.
Is it a chemical reaction or a nuclear reaction when two compounds are combined heat is realeased?
Chemical.
Is fission reaction chemical reaction?
A fission reaction is a chemical reaction wherein the atom gets split to generate energy. The most commonly used controlled form of this is in splitting Hydrogen for producing energy in nuclear reactors. It is also used in weaponry such as Hydrogen Bombs which have much greater power than in nuclear fusion reactions.
