Uranium.

Plutonium can also be used in both but less commonly in nuclear reactors (but extensively in weapons).

Which is not part of nuclear chemistry?

Botany is not part of nuclear chemistry. Nuclear chemistry focuses on the study of the chemical and physical properties of elements as influenced by changes in the structure of atomic nuclei. Botany, on the other hand, is the branch of biology that deals with the study of plants.

What is a energy source produced from atomic reactions reactions such as oil?

Nuclear energy is produced from atomic reactions in nuclear power plants, which do not involve the use of oil. Oil is used to produce energy through combustion in power plants or vehicles, but it is not classified as a form of nuclear energy.


Relating to atomic energy?

Atomic energy is the energy released from splitting (nuclear fission) or combining (nuclear fusion) atoms. It is used in nuclear power plants to generate electricity and in nuclear weapons for explosive purposes. The use of atomic energy has both benefits, such as providing a relatively clean energy source, and concerns, such as nuclear accidents and nuclear proliferation.

Is it possible to undo atomic or nuclear weapons once made?

Yes, nuclear weapons can be scrapped. The radioactive materials can be used in nuclear power plants.


Positives about nuclear energy?

Using nuclear fission and nuclear fusion, it is technically possible to fulfill the ancient alchemist's infamous objective of turning lead into gold. This is because an element that undergoes a nuclear transformation is actually completely transformed into a whole new element, though it isn't commercially feasible to produce gold from nuclear processes. The Nuclear Club, the group of nine countries that have successfully detonated nuclear weapons, includes: United States (est 4,750 - 5,535 warheads), Russia (est 5,200 - 8,800 warheads), the United Kingdom (est 200 warheads), France (est 350 warheads), China (est 400 warheads), India (est 140 warheads), Pakistan (est 60 warheads), North Korea (est 5 warheads), and Israel (est 150 warheads). Only the first five members on this list are part of the nuclear non-proliferation treaty. NONE OF THIS IS TRUE!!!! LOVE CAITLIN JORDAN :)))

What is difference between atomic energy and nuclear energy?

Atomic energy is really a misnomer for nuclear energy. It is the fissioning of the nucleus which causes energy to be released. At the atomic level we are dealing with chemical reactions, but in the early days people did talk of atomic power and atomic bombs.
