The option that distinguishes a nuclear reaction from a chemical reaction is D. there is a change in the nucleus.
During a nuclear reaction, two light nuclei combine in order to create a new, heavier one which is different than those two original ones and has additional particles that it didn't have originally. This is what makes the difference between these two reactions.

Answer: Option (D) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

In a nuclear reaction, subparticles like protons and neutrons are involved in a reaction. So, basically changes in the nucleus of an atom occurs.

This is because in a nuclear reaction either two nuclei combine to form a larger nuclei different from its parent atom or nucleus of an atom dissociates into different atoms.

For example, ^{2}_{1}H + ^{3}_{1}H \rightarrow ^{4}_{2}He + ^{1}_{0}n is a nuclear fusion reaction.

Whereas in a chemical reaction exchange of electrons occur or we can say electrons are involved in chemical reactions.

For example, 2Na(s) + Cl_{2}(g) \rightarrow 2NaCl

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options, there is a change in the nucleus distinguishes a nuclear reaction from a chemical reaction.

How does the flow of energy during freezing compare with the flow of energy during melting
lianna [129]

Answer:

At the melting point, some molecules overcome the forces of attraction. Energy gained after the the solid melts increases the average kinetic energy or the temperature. When liquid is freezing the energy flows out the the liquid. As the kinetic energy decreases, they move more slowly.
