A distinction between nuclear reactions and chemical reactions

Nuclear and chemical reactions are different because in nuclear reactions isotopes react differently and in chemical reactions they react the same way. Also in nuclear reactions the reaction happens outside of the nucleus and in chemical reactions it’s the opposite the reaction happens inside the nucleus. In nuclear reactions after the reaction their is a new element made and in chemical reactions its two elements coming together and in the end they still have the same number of protons and neutrons as they did before the reaction. In chemical reactions they have to have a combination of elements to react and in nuclear reactions they don’t. Also the mass doesn’t change in chemical reactions but it does change in nuclear reactions. Another thing is nuclear reactions produce more energy then chemical reactions.
