The following
are the characteristics of a chemical and nuclear reactions
For the
chemical reactions we have the following
·
There is transfer or sharing exchange of
electrons from one atom to another either through ionic, covalent or hydrogen
boning
·
There
is creation of new substance with properties chemical properties entire
different from the former but no lost of
mass
·
The
process does not involve enormous liberation of heat energy
·
All isotope of same element behave in
the same way under chemical reaction
·
Chemical reaction can be affected by
change in temperature, pressure and presence of catalyst.
·
·
Examples
of chemical reaction is
Fe(s) + S(s) → FeS(s)
For nuclear reactions below are
some of the characteristics
·
There is a transfer of nuclear
constituent in the reaction
·
There is a creation of a new matter with
both chemical and nuclear properties entire different from the former one
·
There is an enormous liberation of
energy
·
All
isotopes of the same element behave differently under nuclear reactions
·
Whereas nuclear reactions cannot be
affected by change in temperature, pressure or presence of catalyst.
