Is nuclear chain reaction is called fusion?
The idea of nuclear fusion occurring at room temperature is called cold fusion.
What specific nuclear fusion reaction occurs in the sun?
The proton-proton chain accounts for more than 98% of the fusion reactions in our Sun. The balance in the carbon-nitrogen-oxygen catalytic chain reaction.
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.
Does fusion reaction occur in an atomic bomb?
They have a starter in a bomb and what this will do is shoot a neutron in the nuclear fuel starting a chain reaction
What is a proton-proton chain?
The proton-proton chain is the name given to one common fusion reaction occurring in stars by which hydrogen is converted to helium, along with the release of energy.
What is a chemical chain reactionA chemical reaction that causes the next one.(for geoscience Nuclear fission and fusion)?
Share A chemical reaction that causes the next one
What causes radioactive explosions?
An uncontrolled neutron chain reaction in a supercritical mass of fissile material.Very high temperature and pressure, enough to ignite thermonuclear fusion in fusion fuel.
What is the fuse for hydrogen bomb?
An Atomic bomb is the detonator for a Hydrogen bomb to create enough heat for the fission - fusion chain reaction.
What is a nuclear equation that shows the overall fusion cycle of the sun?
Nuclear fusion in sun is followed by proton proton chain reaction during this reaction hydrogen fused to form helium the main products of this reaction according to nuclear equation is - positron, neutrino, gamma ray photons, isotopes of hydrogen and helium
Is fusion a chemical?
No, fusion is a type of nuclear reaction.
Does the 2008 fusion 2.3 have a belt or chain?
it has a chain
Does the nuclear fusion occurs at the surface of the sun?
Fusion takes place in the core, where the temperature and pressure are much higher, which is necessary for fusion.
