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

Can elements be broken down or changed into something else if they are treated with chemicals?

No, elements cannot be broken down or changed into something else through chemical reactions. Each element is defined by its unique number of protons, and chemical processes only rearrange the atoms of elements, forming new compounds without altering the elements themselves. To change one element into another, nuclear reactions, such as those that occur in nuclear fusion or fission, would be required.


Do chemical reactions always make new substances?

No all chemical reactions do not make new things because if you do a chemical reactions using two of the same things e.g carbon dioxide + carbon dioxide you are not making anything else so no not all chemical reacions make new things


Is a chemical property an ability of a substance to change into something else?

No, a chemical property is a characteristic of a substance that describes its ability to undergo specific chemical changes or reactions, such as flammability, reactivity with acids, or stability in certain conditions. It is not about changing into something else, but about how a substance interacts with other substances.


Is nuclear energy converted into electricity before used?

Yes, nuclear energy is converted into electricity in a nuclear power plant. The energy produced from nuclear fission reactions is used to heat water and produce steam, which then drives a turbine connected to a generator to generate electricity.

Chemical reactions in all living things?

Chemical reactions in living things are essential for various biological processes such as metabolism, growth, and reproduction. These reactions involve breaking down and building molecules to generate energy and support life functions. Enzymes play a critical role in catalyzing these reactions to ensure they occur efficiently within the organism.


What happens to the number of protons during chemical bonding?

In chemical bonding, the number of protons remains the same. That's because the original elements involved in the chemical reaction remain the same as regards their nuclei. Nothing involving the nucleus of an atom is changed in chemical reactions. This differentiates chemical reactions from nuclear reactions, where changes in atomic nuclei are what makes a nuclear reaction a nuclear reaction.


What is the critical temperature at which nuclear reactions begin?

For nuclear fission reactors there is no critical temperature, though they do have a temperature coefficient which makes the efficiency of the chain reaction vary slightly with temperature. This can be negative or positive, obvously a negative coefficient is preferred and is safer. Nuclear fusion is another matter, and very high temperatures are required in tokamaks to get fusion started


What else can be used to launch spacecraft besides nuclear energy?

Nuclear energy has never been used for launching space craft. The requirements for shielding would make it too heavy, and then there is the risk of it crashing. The only practicable energy source is from high energy chemical fuels.
