How does a nuclear reaction differ from a chemical reaction?

Chemistry
1 answer:
never [62]3 years ago
6 0

Answer: (1) Nuclear reactions involve a change in an atom's nucleus, usually producing a different element.  Chemical reactions, on the other hand, involve only a rearrangement of electrons and do not involve changes in the nuclei.

(2) Rates of chemical reactions are influenced by temperature and catalysts.  Rates of nuclear reactions are unaffected by such factors.

(3) Nuclear reactions are independent of the chemical form of the element.

For the reaction shown, identify the element oxidized, the element reduced, the oxidizing agent, and the reducing agent. KNO3 →
Vinvika [58]

Answer : The oxidizing element is N and reducing element is O. 

KNO_{3} is act as an oxidizing agent as well as reducing agent.

Explanation :

An Oxidizing agent is the agent which has ability to oxidize other or a higher in oxidation number.

Reducing agent is the agent which has ability to reduce other or lower in oxidation number.

The given reaction is :

KNO_{3} \rightarrow KNO_{2} +O_{2}

KNO_{3}  act as an oxidizing agent.

The oxidation number of N in KNO_{3} is calculated as:

(+1)+(x)+3(-2) = 0

x = +5

And the oxidation number of N in KNO_{2}  is calculated as:

(+1)+(x)+2(-2) = 0

x = +3

From the oxidation number method, we conclude that the oxidation number  reduced this means KNO_{3} itself get reduced to KNO_{2} and it can act as an oxidizing agent.

KNO_{3}  act as a reducing agent.

KNO_{3} \rightarrow KNO_{2} +O_{2}

The oxidation number of O in KNO_{3} is calculated as:

(+1)+(+5)+3(x) = 0

x = -2

The oxidation number of O in O_{2} is Zero (o).

Now, we conclude that the oxidation number increases this means KNO_{3} itself get oxidized to O_{2} and it can act as reducing agent.

What is an atomic reaction​
castortr0y [4]

Atomic reaction is nothing but the reaction of one atom with the other atom to form the new compound.

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • The atom is considered as the ultimate basic particle of the matter.  
  • This atom comprise of electron neutrons and protons.
  • Generally in the atomic reaction, there will be loss or gain of the electron to or from the substance with which the reaction takes place.
  • In default, all atoms wanted to attain the noble gas configuration which is stable in nature. These atoms from the ionic or covalent bond by sharing the electron.
