Question 6 • 2001310 Earth Science Sem 1 - Pearson

Which statement describes the differences between nuclear reactions and chemical reactions?

Answer
A
Nuclear reactions involve changes to electrons, while chemical reactions involve changes to protons and neutrons.
B
Only chemical reactions can be exothermic.
C
Chemical reactions can result in new compounds, while nuclear reactions can result in new elements.

Explanation

Chemical reactions rearrange atoms by changing how their electrons are shared or transferred, which can form new compounds. Nuclear reactions change an atom’s nucleus and can turn one element into another. Choice A reverses which particles are involved, and nuclear reactions, like chemical reactions, can release energy, so B is false.
