upon temperature, but the rate of chemical
reactions does depend on temperature. Explain
briefly why this difference is there.

Answer:
1)Rate of reaction is a rate at which two reactants react which each other. The energy to put electrons to higher orbitals and ultimately to a covalent bond can be provided by heat.
2)Rate of decay is when an radioactive element looses it's Alpha and Beta particles due to deficiency of nuclear force, this only happens with elements with higher atomic mass. Nuclear force has no effect of temperature.
