Outline on nuclear energy?
Definition: energy from nuclear fission or fusion: the energy released by nuclear fission or fusion
What is it when energy is released through fission or fusion?
Nuclear energy
Give definition for nuclear energy?
The energy released by either nuclear fission or nuclear fusion.
The energy released by a fission or fusion reaction?
What is the question
What is nuclear energy considered?
the energy released during nuclear fission or fusion, esp. when used to gnerate electricity.
How energy released in nuclear energy?
When there is nuclear fusion (when atoms push together and make energy) and nuclear fission (when atoms split apart to make energy).
How sun generates energy?
By heat released from continuous nuclear fission and fusion process.
How nuclear fusion differ to nuclear fission in terms of energy release?
Energy from nuclear fusion is around 400 times more than that of nuclear fission for same mass.
How does nuclear fission differ from nuclear fusion?
Nuclear fission is the process of splitting a nucleus with a large mass into two nuclei with smaller masses. The energy released can then be used to produce electricity. Nuclear fusion is the process of merging nuclei with smaller masses into a nucleus with a larger mass. The energy released by this reaction may someday be used to produce electricity. In other words, Nuclear Fusion is the exact opposite of Nuclear fission. While Nuclear Fission is splitting a nucleus into two nuclei, nuclear fusion is merging two nuclei into a nucleus.
How do nuclear fusion differ fundamentally from nuclear fission?
Nuclear fusion doesn't produce energy.
Is solar energy nuclear fission or fusion?
The process generating solar energy is one of nuclear fusion.
Why is nuclear a form of energy?
Energy is released in nuclear fission and fusion, this is a fact of the physics of the nucleus. This energy can be captured and harnessed as thermal energy (heat)
