The energy released is nuclear energy.
Not. It is nuclear energy.
Nuclear fission is a type of nuclear reaction that converts nuclear energy into thermal energy (heat), which can then be used to generate mechanical energy (such as electricity). So, fission nuclear energy originates as nuclear energy and can be converted into mechanical energy.
Chemical energy can be converted into nuclear energy through processes like nuclear fission or fusion. In nuclear fission, the nucleus of an atom is split into smaller parts, releasing a significant amount of energy. In nuclear fusion, nuclei are combined to form heavier nuclei, also releasing energy. These processes release a much larger amount of energy compared to chemical reactions.
Chemical energy does not change into nuclear energy. Chemical energy is associated with the bonds between atoms in molecules, whereas nuclear energy is associated with changes in the nucleus of an atom, such as nuclear fission or fusion.
Definition: energy from nuclear fission or fusion: the energy released by nuclear fission or fusion
No. Fireworks rely on chemical rather than nuclear energy. They are driven by an oxidation-reduction reaction. Fireworks were developed centuries before we discovered nuclear fission.
A nonexample of nuclear fission would be chemical reactions, where chemical bonds are broken and formed between atoms, resulting in a rearrangement of molecules. Nuclear fission involves splitting of atomic nuclei and releasing a large amount of energy.
The heat released by nuclear fission is transformed in electrical energy.
Fusion and fission are both nuclear processes that release large amounts of energy by breaking or combining atomic nuclei, while chemical energy involves the breaking or forming of chemical bonds to release energy. All three processes involve converting mass into energy through different mechanisms.
This process is called nuclear fission and it releases a significant amount of nuclear energy, not chemical energy. Nuclear fission involves splitting heavy atomic nuclei, such as uranium or plutonium, into lighter nuclei, releasing a large amount of energy in the form of heat and radiation.
Nuclear fission releases energy in the form of heat, which can be converted into electricity.
Chemical energy stored in wood can be transformed into heat and light energy by burning it in a fire. Nuclear energy stored in radioactive materials can be transformed into heat and electricity through nuclear fission reactions in a nuclear power plant.
