Answer:

a chemical reaction where electrons mix.

Step-by-step explanation:

A nuclear reaction is when atomic nuclei combine, forming a new chemical element

A chemical reaction occurs when electrons from the last layer of atoms mix, forming molecules that have the same chemical elements as the reactants.

According to these definitions
