Both Chemical and nuclear reactions form new substances.
Nuclear
A nuclear reaction does not involve the breaking or forming of chemical bonds between atoms. Instead, it involves changes in the nucleus of atoms, such as nuclear fission or fusion. Additionally, a nuclear reaction does not typically release energy through the rearrangement of electrons in an atom's outer shell like a chemical reaction does.
In a nuclear reaction, the nucleus of an atom undergoes a change. Common examples would be alpha decay, beta decay, fusion, and fusion. In each of those cases, different elements are formed in the process. This never happens in ordinary chemical reactions. In chemical reactions, it is the electrons that are involved , not the nucleus of the atom.
One way to determine whether a reaction is chemical or nuclear is to examine the particles involved. In a chemical reaction, atoms rearrange to form new substances, but the nuclei of the atoms remain unchanged. In contrast, a nuclear reaction involves changes to the atomic nucleus, resulting in the transformation of one element into another, often accompanied by the release of significant energy and radiation. Observing such nuclear changes, like the emission of alpha or beta particles, indicates a nuclear reaction.
Nuclear decay rates do not vary with the conditions of the change; they are constant for a given isotope. On the other hand, chemical reaction rates can vary with conditions such as temperature, pressure, and the presence of catalysts.
A nuclear reaction is much powerful than a chemical reaction.
False
Nuclear
Nuclear decay rates vary, but chemical reaction rates are constant
Nuclear decay involves the contents of the atomic nucleus, the protons and neutrons. Chemical reactions involve the electrons.
No, a nuclear bomb involves a nuclear chain-reaction.A chemical reaction involves the orbiting electrons in an atom.A nuclear reaction involves the nucleus (hence "Nuclear") of an atom.

Fusion is a nuclear reaction.
it is not a chemical reaction. It is a nuclear reaction and it is called fusion.
Chemical.
A fission reaction is a chemical reaction wherein the atom gets split to generate energy. The most commonly used controlled form of this is in splitting Hydrogen for producing energy in nuclear reactors. It is also used in weaponry such as Hydrogen Bombs which have much greater power than in nuclear fusion reactions.
