If you light a match to a mixture of oxygen and hydrogen which then reacts explosively to form water. Is it a chemical or nuclear reaction?
I know a chemical reaction is one in which a substance is changed into one or more new substances.
A nuclear reaction is one in which a new element can be made with different proton and neutron numbers.
I think from the above to would say the reaction is Nuclear and not chemical.
Please shed some light
