Why do chemical reactions not produce radioactive particles? Chemical reactions make the nuclei of atoms more stable. Chemical reactions only release gamma rays. Only electrons are involved in chemical reactions. Mass is not conserved in chemical reactions.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think its the 3rd one :)))

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A) Chemical reactions make the nuclei of atoms more stable.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

close tho

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but it's A

how

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it just told me i got it wrong it didnt say why

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Radioactive particles are the result of nuclear reactions. Chemical reactions don't involve the nucleus of an atom, but only the electron cloud. so.... c) Only electrons are involved in chemical reactions.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this is correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Radioactive decay is a type of a chemical reaction. It is a decomposition reaction.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh, sorry, forgot that nuclear chemistry is frequently left out in intro classes. My guess is you are studying classical chemistry that does not deal with radioactive reactions.
