Chemical reaction Nuclear reaction
Involves valence electrons
Involves nucleus
Can’t change the element’s identity (can only rearrange its atoms)
Can change the identity of the element through a transmutation reaction
Can give off heat, light, or other energy form
Gives off nuclear particles or radiation

Strong nuclear force---holds the nucleus together (overcomes proton repulsion)
Electrostatic force—attractive force between protons and electrons (holds entire atom together)

3 RADIOACTIVE PARTICLES
Alpha—a helium nucleus; least penetrating power
Beta—a high energy electron
Gamma---most penetrating; pure energy

PASS THE BALL—NUCLEAR REVIEW
1. Give 1 difference between chemical vs. nuclear reactions.
2.Give another difference. 3.Give 1 reason why something is radioactive. 4.Give another reason for radioactivity. 5.Name the 3 radioactive particles in order of increasing
penetration. 6.Which radioactive particle decreases atomic number by 2
and mass by 4? 7.Which radioactive particle increases atomic number by 1
and does not change mass? 8.Which force holds the atom’s nucleus together? 9.Which force holds the entire atom together through the
force of attraction between protons and electrons? 10. What’s the difference between fission and fusion?
