What is a change in an atom's center called?

In atom's centre its Nucleus present which is consist of two parts protons and neutrons, in a chemical reaction nucleus doesn't take part, only electrons take part, when there is a change in nucleus, its due to "Fission" or "Fusion" reaction, Atomic blast and the electricity producing from nuclear energy perform the same reactions.


What is the name smallest part of an element that can take part in a reaction?

The smallest part of an element that can take part in a chemical reaction is an atom. Atoms are composed of protons, neutrons, and electrons, and they are the building blocks of all matter in the universe.


What is the smallest part of a chemical element that can be combined with other elements to form compounds?

An atom. However it should be noted that generally the valence electrons in an atom take part in a chemical reaction.


Can fission take place in the nucleus of hydrogen atom?

No, it cannot. Fission is the "splitting" of an atom, and a hydrogen atom will not fission. Some hydrogen atoms have a neutron stuck to the proton in their nucleus. Some even have two neutrons stuck to that proton. These neutrons can be "knocked loose" in something like a nuclear chair reaction in a weapon. The neutrons then can contribute to the building of the nuclear chain reaction. But fission doesn't happen to hydrogen.

What ia a nuclear reaction?

A nuclear fission reaction is when you collide neutrons from a fuel(U-235) together causing them to split and produce energy. Nuclear fusion is when you take two elements and collide them together at a high speed which causes them to bind together to form a new element producing energy, i.e 2 hydrogen atoms bind together to form a helium atom.


Is an atom a compound that can take part in a chemical reaction?

No. An atom is made of Elements. Name of element is decided by number of Protons, containing in it's Nucleus. Two or more different types of elements react with each other to form compound in what is called as chemical reaction.


How nuclear decay rates different from chemical reaction rates?

nuclear decay rates take more time and chemical reaction rates could happen fast.


Can fusion take place in the nucleus of a uranium atom?

Not fusion, but a fission reaction.


Where does a fusion take place in the sun?

The core or the sun's photosphere.


What kind of temperatures are requires for a nuclear fusion reaction to take place?

10,000,000 and up.
