Focusing on the unique aspects of nuclear reactions, the book systematically classifies the diverse reactivity of atomic nuclei, contrasting it with classical chemistry's emphasis on valence electrons. It addresses fundamental questions regarding the abundance and creation of chemical elements in the universe, the potential for artificial element creation, and the various civil and military applications of nuclear reactions. This exploration aims to enhance understanding of a complex subject often overlooked in traditional education.
