What else can I help you with?
What was nuclear energy used for in the past?
The same as it is used now, for electricity production, plus nuclear weapons
How is the sun energy produced?
Nuclear fusion in the sun's core, where Hydrogen-1 is converted to Helium-4 plus energy.
What do the nuclear reactions that take place in the sun produce?
Helium plus released energy (heat)
What else apart from energy is released during nuclear fusion?
If you fuse deuterium (1p, 1n) with tritium (1p, 2n), you get helium (2p, 2n) plus a free neutron, plus the released energy
What are some good points of nuclear energy?
The biggest plus is that their are no carbon emissions so it is not a huge polluter like coal.
What processes a molecule splits releasing neutrons and energy?
In nuclear fission it is the nucleus of the atom that splits, not a molecule, and this releases neutrons and energy. Reactions at the molecule level are termed chemical reactions, not nuclear, and these chemical reactions involve whole atoms and molecules.
Energy that is released from an atomic nucleus?
Nuclear energy is held in the strong force holding the protons and neutrons together. There are two ways to release it:Fission of large nuclei into smaller ones - large nuclei (e.g. Uranium-235) are inherently unstable and when struck by a neutron split into two smaller nuclei (fission products - usually about 1/3 and 2/3 the original atomic mass) and 2 or 3 free neutrons plus the released nuclear energy as kinetic energy of these particles.Fusion of small nuclei into larger ones - small nuclei (e.g. Deuterium) are very stable, but when highly compressed and heated to millions of degrees, they will combine with each other releasing nuclear energy as kinetic energy of the product nuclei.Elements in the middle (from iron to lead) cannot undergo either fusion or fission as they have no excess nuclear energy (you can think of them as nuclear "ash").
What are the application of c plus plus?
Writing programs in it.
How do you change the Borland C plus plus application icon?
Change the icon in the application's resource file, then recompile.
What are the application of c plus plus plus plus language?
Writing computer-programs in it.
What percentage of electrical energy generated in the US is produced by fossil of nuclear fuels?
Approximately 61% of the electrical energy generated in the US is produced by fossil fuels (coal, natural gas, and petroleum), while nuclear power accounts for about 20% of the total electricity generation.
What is nuclear fission's result?
The primary result of a fission reaction is the conversion of mass to energy. In fission, the nucleus split, either through radioactive decay or as result of being bombarded by other subatomic particles known as neutrons.
