Question

These traits describe either a chemical or a nuclear reaction. Which statements describe a nuclear reaction? Check all that apply. involves the loss, gain, or sharing of electrons may involve a change in total mass involve relatively low energy changes occur outside the nucleus involve very high-energy changes involve changes in nuclides when decay occurs

Answer 1

The statements that describe a nuclear reaction are may involve a change in total mass, involve very high-energy changes, and involve changes in nuclides when decay takes place.  

There are two kinds of nuclear reactions, that is, fission and fusion. Fusion involves the fusion of two light atoms into a heavier atom, while fission involves the splitting of an unstable isotope (with a high mass number) into stable elements of lower mass number, which vary in features from the parent atoms. Both the reactions discharge huge concentration of energies in the process.
