Fission, fusion, and radioactive decay
Nuclear reactions change the nucleus of an atom itself, unlike chemical reactions, which only rearrange electrons: fission splits a large nucleus into smaller ones, fusion combines small nuclei into a larger one, and radioactive decay is when an unstable nucleus spontaneously breaks down, releasing particles or energy as alpha, beta, or gamma radiation. All three release large amounts of energy compared to an ordinary chemical reaction.
