Which part of atom take part in nuclear reaction?
The nucleus of an atom is the part that takes part in nuclear reactions. It consists of protons and neutrons, which are involved in processes such as fission and fusion. The electrons surrounding the nucleus are not typically involved in nuclear reactions.
What part of an atom is not involved in chemical reactions?
The nucleus of an atom is not involved in chemical reactions. The nucleus contains protons and neutrons, which do not participate in chemical bonding or reactions. Chemical reactions involve the electrons in the outer energy levels of an atom.
What part of the atom does the word nuclear refer to?
A concept or model of the atom characterised by the presence of a small, massive nucleus at its centre.
Why are protons and neutrons not involved in chemical reactions?
Hate to burst your bubble, but they are, considering that the structure of the nucleus is what gives the electrons their properties. That's kind of like asking, "why isn't sunlight part of the taste of a fruit?"I think the question should be why are the electrons mainly responsible for chemical reactions? On the atomic scale, the atom is mostly empty space, with the electron being very far away from the nucleus. The first part of the atom to interact with another atom would always be an electron. The way that atoms share electrons is a big factor in chemical reactions.
What is a key difference between chemical and nuclear reactions?
In a chemical reaction, the only part of the atom affected are the valence (outer energy level) electrons. Chemical reactions can result in new elements or compounds forming from different arrangements of the same original elements. The nucleus of the atom is unaffected. In a nuclear reaction, the nucleus of the atom comes into play. The nucleus can be broken up into smaller nuclei, or a neutron can decay into a proton and an electron, changing one element into another over time. Energy is released in the form of alpha, beta, or gamma decay. Both types of reactions must adhere to the laws of conservation of mass and energy.

Is a nucleus an atom that produces nuclear energy?
No, it is a part of an atom.
What part of an atom is primarily responsible for chemical reactions?
The electrons in an atom are primarily responsible for chemical reactions.
What is nuclear part?
The electronic clouds (orbits) around the nucleus is extra nuclear part of atom.
Where are nuclear reactions in the sun?
The nuclear reactions are all over the sun but between core and surface the central part observes more.
In what part of atom is nuclear energy found?
In the nucleus!
Which part of an atom plays a major role in chemical reactions?
Chemical reactions are a result of valence electron transfer and/or sharing. Valence electrons are located in the outer-most orbitals of the reactant elements. In a sense, though, you could say protons are also involved in chemical reactions. Although an element will never donate, accept, or share protons in a CHEMICAL reaction, they are part of the determination in an elements reactivity. Reactions that do involve protons are termed "nuclear reactions," and are not chemical reactions. In fact, a lot of the methods used to determine chemical reactions -- such as enthalpy -- cannot even be applied to nuclear reactions. Neutrons, like protons are involved in nuclear reactions, but never in chemical reactions. Hope this helps!
What part of the atom is involved in the chemical reactions?
The electrons
What part of an atom is not involved in chemical reactions?
The nucleus of an atom is not involved in chemical reactions. The nucleus contains protons and neutrons, which do not participate in chemical bonding or reactions. Chemical reactions involve the electrons in the outer energy levels of an atom.
What part of the sun is responsible for the sun's energy?
The nuclear reactions in the Suns core
What part of the atom is most involved in making light?
The extra nuclear part.(electronic shells)
How are nuclear geothermal solar and hydroelectric alike?
they are alike becausee they are part of an atom
