Not by chemical means.
A nuclear reaction can be induced by bombarding the nucleus with neutrons, alpha particles, beta particles, gamma rays, high velocity nuclei from a particle accelerator, or cosmic ray particles. Neutrons are most effective at causing nuclear reactions as they have no charge and are reasonably massive.
What else can I help you with?
Nuclear fuels are bombared by what particles to induce their fission?
Nuclear fuels are bombarded by neutrons to induce their fission reaction. Neutrons are able to penetrate the nucleus of the fuel atoms and cause them to split, releasing energy and more neutrons in the process. This chain reaction is the basis for nuclear power generation.
Why is it necessary for a collision between atomic particles to occur so a nuclear reaction may begin?
A collision between atomic particles is necessary to overcome the repulsion between their positively charged nuclei. When particles collide with enough energy, they can come close enough for the strong nuclear force to overcome the electrostatic repulsion, triggering a nuclear reaction. Without a collision, the forces involved are not strong enough to induce a reaction.
State wether a nuclear fusion is a chemical reaction or a nuclear reaction?
Nuclear
What is the raw material of nuclear fission?
The raw material for nuclear fission is typically a heavy radioactive element, such as uranium-235 or plutonium-239. These materials are bombarded by neutrons to induce a fission reaction, releasing energy in the form of heat and additional neutrons.
What is repeated nuclear fission called?
Repeated nuclear fission is called a nuclear chain reaction. In this process, the fission of one nucleus releases neutrons, which can then induce fission in nearby nuclei, leading to a self-sustaining series of reactions. This principle is utilized in nuclear reactors and atomic bombs, where controlled or uncontrolled chain reactions can occur, respectively. The efficiency and safety of such reactions are critical in their applications.

Can a substance be radioactive without a nuclear reaction taking place?
Yes, it is possible; disintegration is not considered a nuclear reaction.
Is a runaway nuclear chain reaction possible?
Yes, a runaway nuclear chain reaction is possible if a nuclear reactor's control systems fail to regulate the rate of fission reactions, leading to a sudden and uncontrolled increase in reaction rates known as a nuclear meltdown. This can release large amounts of radiation and heat, potentially causing severe damage to the reactor and surrounding environment.

Without a collision, the forces involved are not strong enough to induce a reaction.
Can the production of new atoms occur doing a chemical reaction?
No, it is not possible; we need nuclear reactions for this.

How do you say nuclear reaction in German?
nuclear reaction= Kernreaktion
Nuclear fuels are bombarded by what particles to induce their fission?
neutrons
Is fusion a type of chemical reaction?
False
Is it possible for thermophilic organisms to induce infections in warmblooded animals?
Is it possible for thermophilic prganisms to induce infections in warm blooded animals
What is meant by chain reaction in nuclear reactor?
Basically a chain reaction (nuclear or chemical) is a self sustaining auto-catalytic reaction.In a nuclear reactor it is a neutron chain reaction, where each neutron released in every fission event can trigger another fission event. In a nuclear reactor the excess neutrons must be disposed of, which is the purpose of the control rods so that the reaction can be kept at some desired constant rate.
What describes a nuclear reaction?
nuclear
