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.
Is nuclear chain reaction is called fusion?
No, a nuclear chain reaction refers to a self-sustaining series of nuclear fissions where the neutrons released in one reaction cause further fissions. Fusion, on the other hand, is the process of combining two light atomic nuclei to form a heavier nucleus, releasing large amounts of energy in the process.
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.
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.
Describes happens during a chain reaction in fission and fusion?
In a fission chain reaction, a neutron collides with a uranium nucleus, causing it to split into two smaller nuclei, along with releasing energy and more neutrons. These neutrons then go on to initiate further fission reactions in a self-sustaining chain. In fusion, two light nuclei combine to form a heavier nucleus, releasing a large amount of energy. The released energy can initiate further fusion reactions, leading to a self-sustaining fusion chain.
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
Does fusion reaction occur in an atomic bomb?
Yes, fusion reactions occur in a hydrogen bomb, which is a type of nuclear bomb. The high temperatures and pressures generated by the fission reaction in the bomb can trigger fusion reactions between hydrogen isotopes. This fusion reaction releases a large amount of energy, contributing to the destructive power of the bomb.
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.
Does the 2008 fusion 2.3 have a belt or chain?
it has a chain
What waste product does a fusion reaction generate?
A fusion reaction generates helium as a waste product.
Is fusion a chemical?
No, fusion is a type of nuclear reaction.
What is a type of nuclear reaction produced in the sun?
The primary nuclear reaction in the sun is the fusion of hydrogen nuclei (protons) to form helium nuclei, releasing energy in the form of gamma rays and heat. This process, known as the proton-proton chain reaction, powers the sun by converting mass into energy through nuclear fusion.
