Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
A chemical reaction is a reaction that causes change in chemical composition of a substance. This change occurs due to the involvement of outer electrons.
Whereas a nuclear reaction is a reaction in which particles in the nucleus, that is, protons and neutrons participate in order to form a new compound.
For example, [tex]^{6}_{3}Li + ^{2}_{1}H \rightarrow 2^{4}_{2}He[/tex]
Both chemical and nuclear reactions are able to release energy in certain reactions and they both are able to form stable atoms.
Thus, we can conclude that the statement only chemical reactions result in atom stability regarding nuclear and chemical reactions is not true.
