HANK Nuclear Reactions
Why do the isotopes of a particular element behave differently in nuclear reactions but the same in
chemical reactions? Check all that apply.
Chemical reactions involve changes to electrons in an atom, isotopes do not differ in electrons, and
so they react the same way during chemical changes.
Chemical reactions involve changes to protons and neutrons in an atom, isotopes do not differ in
protons or neutrons, and so they react the same way during chemical changes.
Nuclear reactions involve changes to protons and neutrons in an atom, isotopes differ in neutrons,
and so they react differently to these changes
Nuclear reactions involve changes to electrons in an atom, isotopes differ in electrons, and so they
