Chemical and nuclear reactions can be described in similar ways using mathematics.  In fact, both of these types of reactions are commonly expressed by equations.  There is, however, unique properties in the nature of each of these reactions. The main difference between these phenomena is in how the reaction occurs at the atomic level.  Primarily, chemical reactions only involve the electrons of an atom while nuclear reactions will involve the nucleus of an atom.

Chemical reactions are the most common type of atomic interaction on Earth, and the one that most people remember learning about in their high school science classes.  A chemical reaction only involves only the electrons of a group of atoms.  During a chemical reaction, each atom will form or break apart a bond with another atom.  These bonds are actually the sharing of electrons between atoms.  When a bond forms, the electrons of each atom will enter the orbit of the other atom and essentially orbit the nuclei of both atoms.  When a bond breaks, the electrons resume their “usual” orbit around their own nuclei. 

In a chemical reaction, the nucleus of each atom involved does not change.  As
