Different between chemical reaction and nuclear
Answered by admin @
One of the main differences between nuclear reaction and chemical reaction is related to how the reaction takes place in the atom. While nuclear reaction takes place in the atom’s nucleus, the electrons in the atom are responsible for Chemical reactions.
The chemical reactions involve the transfer, loss, gain and sharing of electrons and nothing takes place in the nucleus. Nuclear reactions involve the decomposition of the nucleus and have nothing to do with the electrons. When the nucleus decomposes, it may change to another atom because of the loss of neutrons or protons. In a nuclear reaction, the protons and neutrons react inside the nucleus and in chemical reactions the electrons react outside the nucleus.
Nuclear reaction can be termed as either fission or fusion. Chemical reactions, on the other hand cannot be termed so. In a chemical reaction, a substance is changed to one or more other substances because of the action of the electrons. But in a nuclear reaction, a new element is formed because of the action of the proton or neutron.
