Answer to Problem 19.1QP
Nuclear reactions are differing from ordinary chemical reaction by the following way.
- (1) In chemical reaction atoms are rearranged by breaking and making of chemical bonds. But in reaction one elements is converted to other elements.
- (2) In chemical reaction atoms or molecular orbitals are involved in the reaction but in nuclear reaction proton, neutron, electrons and other subatomic particles such as alpha-particles. This particle may be involved.
- (3) Chemical reaction is accompanied by the absorption or release of relatively small amount of energy whereas nuclear reactions are accompanied by the absorption of tremendous amount of energy.
- (4) In case of chemical reaction the rate of reaction are influenced by the temperature, pressure, concentration and catalysis. But the nuclear reactions are normally not affected by temperature, pressure or catalysis.
Explanation of Solution
Nuclear reactions are differing from ordinary chemical reaction by the following way.
It’s briefly explained below:
In chemical reaction atoms are rearranged by breaking and making of chemical bonds. But in ordinary reaction one elements is converted to other elements.
In chemical reaction atoms or molecular orbitals are involved in the reaction but in nuclear reaction proton, neutron, electrons and other subatomic particles such as alpha-particles. This particle may be involved.
Chemical reaction is accompanied by the absorption or release of relatively small amount of energy whereas nuclear reaction are accompanied by the absorption of tremendous amount of energy.
In case of chemical reaction the rate of reaction are influenced by the temperature, pressure, concentration and catalysis. But the nuclear reaction are normally not affected by temperature, pressure or catalysis
The deference is briefly explained by considering the nature of chemical reaction and nuclear reaction.
