I would say it is actually both.

Fusion itself is a chemical reaction but it is powered by a physical feature named gravity.

When does chemical energy change into nuclear energy?

Chemical energy does not change into nuclear energy. Chemical energy is associated with the bonds between atoms in molecules, whereas nuclear energy is associated with changes in the nucleus of an atom, such as nuclear fission or fusion.


Is making a dress a nuclear change or chemical change?

Physical Change. =KDML= ;)


Is splitting uranium in a power plant a physical nuclear or chemical change?

It is a nuclear change because there is a change in the nuclear structure of Uranium.


Is a phase change an example of a physical or chemical or nuclear or a covalent change?

A phase change is an example of a physical change, not a chemical, nuclear, or covalent change. During a phase change, the substance undergoes a change in state (solid, liquid, gas) without any change in its chemical composition.


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.


Is radium decaying to lead a chemical or physical change?

The decay of radium to lead is a nuclear change, not a chemical or physical change. It involves the transformation of radium atoms into lead atoms through the process of radioactive decay. This change is due to the emission of alpha particles and does not involve any chemical reactions or changes in the physical state of the substances.


What is a change that occurs when one or more substances change into new substances with different properties?

Chemical reactions, normally. However, radioactivity, nuclear fission, or nuclear fusion also fit this definition.


What is 2 way matter can change?

Matter can change through physical changes, where its form or state is altered without changing its chemical composition (e.g. melting ice into water), and chemical changes, where new substances are formed through chemical reactions (e.g. rusting of iron).


Is a bomb exploding a physical change?

An atomic bomb uses fission-- the splitting of atoms. It is purely a physical change, at first. Any gases produced in the air surrounding the explosion (which occurs before it touches the ground), along with the intense heat produced, causes chemical changes in the air.


Is a change that produces a new element a physical change?

No, it is a chemical change. ---------------------------------- Yes, it is a physical change because this change not involve a chemical reaction but a nuclear reaction followed by a change in the number of protons and neutrons.


Is evaporating sea water a physical chemical or nuclear change?

Evaporating seawater is a physical change. Physical changes affect the form, but not the chemical makeup of a substance. The sea water is undergoing a change in states of matter, not a chemical reaction. You can undo the change by condensing the evaporated water .
