The statement that describes a chain reaction brought about by a nuclear reaction is "neutrons <span>released during a fission reaction cause other nuclei to split." This is applicable to fission reactions only wherein atoms split and produce neutrons that also cause further atoms to split, thus creating a chain or series of reactions.</span>
Answer:
Explanation:
Chemical potential energy is the chemical energy stored (or property) of a substance. One chemical potential energy of wood is combustion. Combustion involves the burning of a substance in excess oxygen (in this case open air). <u>The chemical energy stored here is transformed to thermal/heat energy after combustion due to the large amount of heat evolved/produced</u>.
NOTE:
The model above also that combustion is an exothermic reaction because it involves the release of heat into it's surrounding.
