Question

Identify whether each reaction represents a chemical reaction or a nuclear reaction by filling in the blank with the word ‘chemical’ or ‘nuclear’.
answers:

Chemical

Nuclear

Answer 1

A chemical reaction is defined as the reaction between two or more substances that produces new substances/compounds.

On the other hand, a nuclear reaction is a reaction that alters the nucleus of a certain atom. This can be done either by splitting the nucleus or by joining this nucleus with another one.

Reaction 1:
Cl₂ + H₂ ............> 2 HCl
This is the combination of two elements to produce a new compound.
Therefore, this reaction is a chemical reaction

Reaction 2:
²₁H + ³₁H .........> ⁴₂H + ¹₀n
This is an alteration in the nucleus of a hydrogen atom by bonding it with another nucleus.
Therefore, this reaction is a nuclear reaction

Hope this helps :)
