Is electrons the only thing arranged in various energy levels or orbitals or are protons arranged the same way?
There are nuclear energy levels, but they're not "the same" as the electronic energy levels.
Do fossil fuels have a higher or lower energy content than a similar mass of nuclear fuel?
Total energy as expressed in Einsteins equation E=mc2 reveals that they are identical because the masses are identical and c is a constant. With present technology you can extract more energy from a given mass of nuclear fuels (in a nuclear reactor) than the same mass of fossil fuel in a thermoelectric generating plant.
How is nuclear and chemical energy the same?
they both have bonds and both are types of energy
Uranium fuel pellets used in nuclear power station produce far more energy per kilogram than the energy produced by burning coal How much coal has to be burnt to produce the same amount of energy?
1 kg uranium 235 = 3 000 t coal
Are electron carrier and energy carrier the same thing?
No
What is better nuclear or atomic energy?
Nuclear energy and atomic energy are the same thing.
What is the same with nuclear fission and nuclear fusion?
They are quite different, it's hard to think of anything the same. Different fuel, different conditions to make the fuel give energy. Both types of reaction give out neutrons, so that is one thing the same.
Is nuclear reactors and nuclear energy the same thing?
Nuclear energy is released when U-235 undergoes fission, and that takes place in nuclear reactors (or nuclear weapons). So a reactor is a thing constructed to produce nuclear energy.
What is the difference between solar geothermal nuclear fossil fuel hydroelectric energy?
they arn't the same type of energy
Does Nuclear energy provide a great amount of energy from a small amount of fuel?
Yes. Producing the same amount of energy takes thousands of times as much fossil fuel.
Usefulness of nuclear energy related to atomic energy?
Nuclear energy provides about 20 percent of US electricity, so it is useful. Atomic energy is the same thing, but is now an obsolete term, we use nuclear energy as the description now.
How does nuclear energy involve heat?
In the same way fossil fuel energy involves heat. Making steam to turn turbines.
What type of energy is needed in the microwave?
Radioactive energy, basically the same thing that is used to make nuclear war heads.
Is electrons the only thing arranged in various energy levels or orbitals or are protons arranged the same way?
There are nuclear energy levels, but they're not "the same" as the electronic energy levels.
What do nuclear plants use instead of fossil fuels?
Nuclear plants use fissionable material to generate heat instead of burning fossil fuel for the same purpose. The fissionable fuel is in the core of a nuclear reactor, and this core and the associated elements of the nuclear plant allow us to tap nuclear energy via nuclear fission.
How nuclear technologies produce enermouse amount of energy?
Nuclear fission produces energy 2.5 million times that of carbon of same mass. Nuclear fusion produces energy 400 times that of nuclear fission of same mass.
Do fossil fuels have a higher or lower energy content than a similar mass of nuclear fuel?
Total energy as expressed in Einsteins equation E=mc2 reveals that they are identical because the masses are identical and c is a constant. With present technology you can extract more energy from a given mass of nuclear fuels (in a nuclear reactor) than the same mass of fossil fuel in a thermoelectric generating plant.
