Answer 1

☺ 3 ways in which nuclear reactions diffes foom chemical reactions. ; © Nucleas reactions may produce new elements since there is change in the nucleus, where ar no new element can be created in chemical reaction. Nuclear reactions does not obey the low of mass conservation where as chemical reaction follows mass conservation. Rate of chemical reactions dependen upon various factors like temperature, Catalyst, pressure, where as nuclear reactions are spontaneous & de generally unaffected by such factors.
