Chemical Vs. Nuclear Reaction

Enyx Jiang

Chemical Vs. Nuclear Reaction

Chemical Reaction:

A new substance is created
Electrons are transferred or shared between atoms (bonds)
Small amounts of released energy

Nuclear Reaction:

A new element is created
Occurs when nuclei combine or split (fusion, fission)
Releases huge amounts of energy
