Answer:

Nuclear reactions involve a change in an atom's nucleus, usually producing a different element

Step-by-step explanation:

Chemical reactions, on the other hand, involve only a rearrangement of electrons and do not involve changes in the nuclei. Different isotopes of an element normally behave similarly in chemical reactions.
