Why fusion reaction are more energetic than fission reactions?
Nuclear fission does not produce more energy than nuclear fusion. In nuclear fusion (6.4 MeV) per nucleon is given out which is much greater than the energy given out per nucleon (1 MeV) during a nuclear fission reaction.
Is the nuclear reaction in the sun the same as in nuclear bombs?
In the so-called "hydrogen bomb" or fusion bomb, yes, there is energy released from the same reaction (hydrogen fusing to helium) as in the Sun.However, many if not most atomic bombs are fission bombs that do not involve fusion. In a fission bomb, the nuclei of uranium atoms are split, converting some of their mass to energy.All current fusion bombs include fission reactions to trigger the greater energy release from fusion. But most of the energy in very large fission-fusion bombs comes from a third-stage reaction: the fusion causes an exceptionally powerful fission reaction in a uranium shell around the bomb. This called a Teller-Ulam device or fission-fusion-fission bomb.
Is nuclear energy a fission or fusion reaction?
Nuclear energy is either:fission reaction, orfusion reaction, orradioactive decay
What type of reaction supplies the most energy?
fusion nuclear reaction followed by fission nuclear reaction
Do H-bombs deal with fission?
To some degree. Hydrogen bombs release energy via nuclear fusion, but they use a fission reaction to trigger the fusion.
The opposite reaction to fusion is called?
Fission is the opposite reaction to fusion. Fission involves the splitting of a heavy atomic nucleus into lighter elements, releasing a large amount of energy in the process.
Is reaction on sun a fusion or fission?
fission..sup
Is it a fission or fusion reaction?
It depends on the specific context. Fission is the splitting of an atomic nucleus into two smaller nuclei, releasing energy, while fusion is the combining of two smaller nuclei into a larger one, also releasing energy. Each reaction has distinct characteristics and applications in different scenarios.
Why a fission reaction is neccasary for fusion reaction?
It isn't, in general. Thermonuclear bombs use a fission bomb to generate the heat and pressure required to start the fusion process, but there are other ways of doing it (stars do so by gravity, for instance).
What Energy released by a fission of fusion reaction?
In a fission reaction, energy is released when a heavy nucleus splits into lighter nuclei and neutrons. In a fusion reaction, energy is released when light nuclei combine to form a heavier nucleus. Both reactions release a large amount of energy due to the difference in binding energy between the initial and final nuclei.
What is the opposite reaction to fusion?
fission
3 advantages nuclear fusion has over nuclear fission?
The binding energy (Strong Atomic Force) released is much greater when fusion occurs than when fission occurs. As an example, that is why fission bombs typically have yields around 100 to 500 kilotons of equivalent TNT, while fusion bombs typically have yields in the 25 to 50 megaton range. The problem is that fusion requires a lot of energy to initiate - in fact, most fusion bombs use a fission bomb to set them off.
