List and describe four differences between nuclear reactions and ordinary chemical reactions.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Answer is 1.A nuclear change involves the nucleus,almost always producing a different element; a chemical change involves the valence electrons.
2.Isotopes of a particular atom differ in their nuclear reactions,but are the same in their chemical reactions.
3.The rate of nuclear reactions is not changed by temperature,pressure,or catalysts.These factors can affect the rate of an ordinary chemical reaction.
4.Nuclear reactions are unaffected by the chemical environment of the element; chemical reactions are greatly affected by the chemical state of the element.
5.The energy changes involved in nuclear reactions are much,much larger than those of ordinary chemical reactions.
