Nuclear change

A nuclear change -- involves changes in nuclear structure, such as fission (splitting) of a

nucleus or an atom, or fusion (combining) of neutrons and protons to form heavier atoms. This
involves about 1,000,000 times as much energy as a chemical change. And also a nuclear reactor
is a device to initiate and control a sustained nuclear chain reaction. The most common use of
nuclear reactors is for the generation of electrical power (see Nuclear power) and for the power
in some ships (see nuclear marine propulsion). This is usually accomplished by methods that
involve using heat from the nuclear reaction to power steam turbines. There are also other less
common uses as discussed below. All nuclear reactors are devices designed to maintain a chain
reaction producing a steady flow of neutrons generated by the fission of heavy nuclei. They are,
however, differentiated either by their purpose or by their design features. In terms of purpose,
they are either research reactors or power reactors.

When wood burns is it a chemical change?

In: Chemistry [Edit categories]
Answer:
Yes. Wood is composed of a number of complex chemical compounds, and cellulose is a
principle one. Much of the material in wood is reduced to carbon dioxide and water, but there are
a considerable number of combustion byproducts and also many products of incomplete
combustion. But through burning, wood undergoes a chemical change to become ash and all the
stuff that is carried away in the smoke stream. Heat, of course, is a byproduct. when the ashes are
formed they cannot be formed into a log or piece of wood

Is souring milk an example of a chemical

change?
In: Chemistry [Edit categories]
Yes it is a chemical reaction between the calcium and the oxygen [i may be wrong their] but the rate of
reaction is very slow.

Is boiling water a physical change or a

chemical change?
In: Science, Chemistry [Edit categories]
Answer:
It is a physical change. The molecules themselves do not undergo any change. They just gain
more energy.

Is iron rusting a chemical change?

In: Elements and Compounds, Metal and Alloys [Edit categories]
Answer:
Rusting iron (or steel) is a chemical reaction. It is where iron react s with water and oxygen to form
iron (III) oxide. Fe + H2O + O2 -> Fe2O3.H2O
Note that the equation above isn't balanced.

How are chemical changes different from

physical?
In: Physics, Chemistry [Edit categories]
Answer:
A chemical reaction changes the actual substance like when you burn paper you make it ash. A
physical change is one where the actual substance doesn't change when you freeze water into ice
it's still water just in solid form. (phase changes are physical not chemical changes)

Physical and Chemical Changes
here are several differences between a physical and chemical change in matter or
substances.
