What parts of an atom can change during a nuclear reaction that can't change in a chemical reaction?
the number of protons and neutrons
Which of the following statements is true Chemical reaction rates vary with the conditions of the change but nuclear rates do not Nuclear decay rates vary with the condition?
Nuclear decay rates do not vary with the conditions of the change; they are constant for a given isotope. On the other hand, chemical reaction rates can vary with conditions such as temperature, pressure, and the presence of catalysts.
State wether a nuclear fusion is a chemical reaction or a nuclear reaction?
Nuclear
What does the term nuclear reaction refer to?
The term nuclear reaction is a general one, and it refers to any change in atomic nuclei. There are a lot of different ones (nuclear changes) that qualify, so let's look at some. A nuclear reaction could be a nuclear decay event where a single atomic nucleus undergoes a change. Alpha decay, beta decay, spontaneous fission and even gamma emission are nuclear reactions. Additionally, a nuclear reaction could refer to the interaction of a subatomic particle and an atomic nucleus, like neutron capture in nuclear chain reactions. Further, nuclear fusion, which is constantly going on in our sun, is also considered a nuclear reaction because lighter atomic nuclei are fused together to make heavier ones. As there are a number of "flavors" of nuclear reactions, we leave a reader a variety of options to choose from when we apply this term. It may help to be more specific, depending on the way this term is used.
What is the most common nuclear reaction?
The most common nuclear reaction is nuclear fusion, where atoms combine to form a heavier nucleus. This reaction is what powers the sun and other stars, as well as hydrogen bombs.
What is it called when the number of protons in an atom change?
The only way to change the number of protons in an atom is with a nuclear reaction.
What are the subatomic articles that can change in a nuclear reaction?
The subatomic particles that can change in a nuclear reaction are protons, neutrons, and electrons. During nuclear reactions, these particles can be gained or lost, leading to the formation of different elements and isotopes.
How did the Manhattan project change the world?
It created the first controlled nuclear reaction, as well as nuclear weapons.
What is used to change a stable isotope into a radioactive one?
A nuclear reaction

In a nuclear power plant what is used to change water to steam?
Heat from the nuclear reaction changes water to steam.
Does a nuclear change result from a chemical reaction?
Nope. (Well, the chemical reaction of the high explosives in an A- or H-bomb warhead result in high pressure that then results in a nuclear change (BOOM), but that's a side-effect, not a direct result of the chemical change.)
During nuclear reaction two protons change into what?
In the nuclear fusion process in the sun, two protons change into a proton and a neutron, plus also a positron and a neutrino. This is part of the synthesis of helium and release of energy which powers the sun. You can see the complete chain of reaction at the link below
State wether a nuclear fusion is a chemical reaction or a nuclear reaction?
Nuclear
Why is a transmutation calssified as a nuclear reaction?
because that's what it takes to change one element to another, a change to the nucleus.
True or false a change in the kinds of atoms only occurs in a nuclear reaction?
True
