does nuclear fission produce energy?
A controlled nuclear chain reaction produces heat, driving steam turbines to produce energy.
An ongoing series of fission reactions is called a (n) .?
Fission and fusion reactions are chain reactions but in different ways. In fission reaction a heavy nuclei is bombarded with a slow moving neutron and this nuclei breaks to produce more such neurons along with generation of new elements. These slow moving neutrons are further used to carry out fission of more such nuclei. This is chain reaction. Fusion reaction are a different class of nuclear reaction in which small nuclei fuse together to produce bigger nuclei along with the generation of energy due to mass defect.. In fusion reaction lot of energy is produced and this energy is used to carry out further reaction. Thus both can be called series reaction.
Are animals ever at the beginning of a food chain?
No. A food chain must begin with a producer, which uses photo- or chemosynthesis to produce energy. Animals must consume other organisms to obtain energy and so cannot be producers.
The minimum amount of unstable atoms needed to produce an uncontrolled chain reaction is called?
The minimum amount of unstable atoms needed to produce an uncontrolled chain reaction is called?
What do fission of uranium produce?
Uranium fission creates a chain reaction that initiates a chain reaction that grows exponentially into a massive conversion of the potential energy inside the uranium atom into kinetic energy in the form of an explosion - a nuclear explosion. These are the bombs that ended WW2. Today we can split H atoms, which release significantly more energy.
What does Nuclear energy use?
Nuclear energy as applied to power plants uses uranium, which can be made to produce a chain reaction in which atoms of uranium are constantly splitting and releasing energy in the form of heat. The heat is then used to produce electricity through a steam turbine/generator.
Is uranium in the food chain?
no they dont produce for other animals and humans and they dont consume anything.
How does DNA fingerprinting relate to Poly Chain Reaction?
polymerase chain reaction is necessary in order to produce quantities of DNA sequence that is sufficient for sequencing
What is the minimum amount of unstable atoms needed to produce an uncontrolled chain reaction is called?
The minimum amount of unstable atoms needed to produce an uncontrolled chain reaction is called critical mass.
What is a device that harness a controlled nuclear chain reaction to produce useful energy?
A nuclear reactor will do what is asked here. Use the link below to the related question about what a nuclear reactor is.
What accomplishes the release of the nuclear energy in a reactor?
neutron chain reaction
When many atoms are split in a chain reaction a large explosion occurs. This is an example of what type of energy conversion?
Your question has 2 parts:Assuming that 1 neutron starts the chain reaction, each generation takes 10ns, each fission produces 2.5 neutrons on average, and the chain reaction lasts 1us; the total fissions = 100000Nuclear energy to kinetic energy to heat energy.
