What is the difference between the nuclear reactions taking place in the sun and the nuclear reactions taking place in a nuclear reactor?
The sun's nuclear reactions are fusion reactions at extremely high temperatures and pressures, while the nuclear reactor's nuclear reactions are fission reactions at typical temperatures and pressures for earth.
What type of reactions can generate the most energy of nuclear?
Fusion and fission nuclear reactions.
What is the difference between nuclear energy and light energy?
Light is electromagnetic energy. Nuclear energy is energy derived from nuclear reactions, and the nuclear reactions could be either fusion or fission reactions. As regards the energy that appears from nuclear reactions, it can take different forms, including the form of electromagnetic energy.
What is nuclear energy used to make?
the metal, uranium
Types of nuclear reactions are?
There are four types of nuclear reactions. Fusion Fission Radioactive Decay Artificial Transmutation
What is a metal used in nuclear reactions?
uranium
A metal used in nuclear reactions?
i know this one, i think its on the periodic table and it start with u, maybe uranium ?
What metal is used in nuclear reactions?
The following metals are involved in nuclear reactions. The preferred metal is Uranium 235. The next one is Plutonium 239. Important radioactive metals are Thorium and Cobalt 60. Important radioactive elements that are not metals include Radon and Iodine.
How to control nuclear reactions?
With control rods made of Cadmium metal, which absorbs neutrons.
What is the difference between the nuclear reactions in a nuclear reactor and those in an atomic bomb?
Nuclear reactions in a nuclear reactor are controlled reactions. The reactions in the atomic bomb are not controlled reactions
Where and when has nuclear energy been used?
Nuclear weapon, nuclear (atomic) power stations. Also the Sun works on nuclear reactions.
What is the difference between the nuclear reactions taking place in the sun and the nuclear reactions taking place in a nuclear reactor?
The sun's nuclear reactions are fusion reactions at extremely high temperatures and pressures, while the nuclear reactor's nuclear reactions are fission reactions at typical temperatures and pressures for earth.
Do nuclear chain reactions happen in only uranium?
The most common fuels used in nuclear chain reactions are 235U (uranium) and 239Pu (plutonium).
What technology is used with your fermium?
Fermium is a product of nuclear reactions.
What lab equipment is used to research californium?
Californium is prepared by nuclear reactions in nuclear reactors.
Which is generally not associated with nuclear reactions?
Outer Electrons are not associated with nuclear reactions.
Are nuclear reactions and nuclear fusions the same thing?
Nuclear fusion is a nuclear reaction, but so is fission. So not all nuclear reactions are fission.
