Which statement describes the differences between nuclear reactions and chemical reactions?

nuclear reactions involve changes to electrons, while chemical reactions involve changes to protons and neutrons.

only chemical reactions can be exothermic.

chemical reactions can result in new compounds, while nuclear reactions can result in new elements.
its "chemical reactions can result in new compounds, while nuclear reactions can result in new elements." : )

C; Chemical reactions can result in new compounds, while nuclear reactions can result in new elements.

Explanation:

"among the transition metal elements, manganese and zinc have a slight lowering of electronegativities. the reason behind this is that the nuclear charges of these elements are slightly weaker than the other transition metal elements due to the way their valence electrons are filled up. both manganese and zinc have their valence electrons filled up to the 4th shell with 1 pair of electrons (4s2) completely occupying it. although the electrons in the 3rd shell (3d) are yet to be paired since the outer most shell is filled up, the ability of the nucleus to attract electrons is lessened. hence,   the electronegativity (or the ability to attract electrons) is lessened."

the answer is c i believe
