Answer:

A and C

The isotopes of a particular element behave differently in nuclear reactions but the same in chemical reactions because the nuclear reactions involve changes to protons and neutrons in an atom and isotopes differ in neutrons and so they react differently to nuclear changes. While for chemical reactions, the electrons in an atom are involved but the isotopes do not differ in electrons and so they react the same way during chemical changes.

Answer: Option A & C

<u>Explanation:</u>

The reactants of chemical and nuclear reactions are different. The reactants of chemical reactions are the electrons present in the outermost shell of the reactants, while the reactants of nuclear reactions are either the nuclei of reactants or a nuclei and any subatomic particles of other reactants.

Thus it can be understood that chemical reactions consider the electrons while nuclear reactions consider the nuclei or the number of protons and neutrons of the reactants.

The isotopes of elements contain different mass number or we can say different number of neutrons but the number of electrons are same, so they behave differently in nuclear reactions and similar in chemical reactions.

Why doesn’t neon readily form an ionic bond?
Goryan [66]

By definition of noble gases, neon does not easily form an ionic bond because it belongs to the group of noble or inert gases, so its reactivity is practically nil.

<h3>Noble gases</h3>

Noble gases are not very reactive, that is, they practically do not form chemical compounds. This means that they do not react with other substances, nor do they even react between atoms of the same gas, as is the case with diatomic gases such as oxygen (O₂).

The chemical stability of the noble gases and therefore the absence of spontaneous evolution towards any other chemical form, implies that they are already in a state of maximum stability.

All chemical transformations involve valence electrons, they are involved in the process of covalent bond formation and the formation of ions. Therefore, the practically null reactivity of the noble gases is due to the fact that they have a complete valence shell, which gives them a low tendency to capture or release electrons.

Since the noble gases do not react with the other elements, they are also called inert gases.

<h3>Neon</h3>

Neon does not easily form an ionic bond because it belongs to the group of noble or inert gases, so its reactivity is practically nil.
