I think not. Chemical reaction involves two substances that are chemically combined to form a brand new substance which is different from its original properties while nuclear reaction involves two nuclei colliding with each other at high speed to form a new type of atomic nucleus. (Am I correct?) Just like the Sun, hydrogen fuses with hydrogen to form helium via nuclear fusion.pinochet said:im reading a chemistry text and its says in daltons law chemicals can not change into atoms during a chemical reaction.but if fusion is a chemical reaction then this is wrong beacuse in stars for example hydrogen combine with hydrogen to form helium .i guest i need a little clarification of what a chemical reaction is.
Fusion is a type of nuclear reaction in which two or more atomic nuclei combine to form a heavier nucleus. This process releases a large amount of energy.
Fusion is a nuclear reaction. Unlike chemical reactions, which involve changes in the electron configurations of atoms, fusion involves changes in the nuclei of atoms.
Fusion and fission are both types of nuclear reactions, but they are opposite processes. Fusion involves combining two or more smaller atomic nuclei to form a larger one, while fission involves splitting a larger atomic nucleus into smaller ones.
Fusion does occur naturally on Earth, in the form of solar fusion. The sun and other stars use fusion reactions to produce energy and light.
Fusion has the potential to be a source of clean and almost limitless energy. It could also be used in the production of new elements and materials, and in studying the behavior of matter at extremely high temperatures and pressures.
