When are changes of energy to mass and mass to energy observable?
-- In the cores of stars, where nuclear fusion reactions are taking place. -- Inside the casing of a nuclear weapon at the moment of detonation. -- In the fuel rods in the core of a nuclear power generating station. -- At the point of collision in the experimental target area in a particle accelerator.
Where does sun gets its light from?
There is a chemical reaction taking place at the core of sun. Its called 'Nuclear Fusion'. In this two hydrogen atom get fused together and form a Helium molecule with excreting a lot of energy in form of light and heat. rest of it one more reaction also take place, carbon get react with hydrogen and form nitrogen molecule....with energy liberation......thnx....

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.
Is fission used in cars?
This is through:use of hydrogen produced in high temperature nuclear reactor to fuel hydrogen driven automobiles., oruse of nuclear produced electricity in charging batteries of electric driven automobiles.
What is the type of energy transfer taking place during nuclear energy?
Nuclear energy is produced in fission by the destruction of mass (a small proportion of the mass of the U-235 nucleus). The energy appears initially as kinetic energy of the fission fragments, which are quickly stopped inside the fuel rods and the energy is converted to thermal energy (heat)
Can a substance be radioactive without a nuclear reaction taking place?
Yes, it is possible; disintegration is not considered a nuclear reaction.
What is it called when you have a reaction from taking two medications?
interaction
Who originated the element sodium?
Sodium originated in the nuclear reactions taking place inside stars.
Is sunshine is a matter?
No - sunshine is a product of the nuclear reaction taking place within the sun's core. It has no mass or volume.
What chemical reaction is taking place in the green organelles in plant cells?
This chemical reaction is called photosynthesis.
What is taking away the oxygen called?
This is a reduction reaction.
What is the science behind the atomic bomb?
The science is that of nuclear physics. By taking an unstable heavy substance, such as uranium or plutonium, and hitting it with neutrons, some of the material will break (fission) into lighter materials, releasing energy, and more neutrons, which in turn cause more material to fission. This is called a nuclear chain reaction.
How fire fly get lighting?
Fireflies create their light - by means of a chemical reaction taking place inside their bodies.
Your nearest star the sun is so hot that huge amounts of hydrogen undergo a constant star-wide nuclear reaction like in a hydrogen bomb Why can you see the sun?
Because the by-products of the nuclear reaction taking place in the sun are heat and light which makes it possible for us to not only see it but to also feel it.
What is a chemical reaction that's absorbs energy called?
An Endothermic reaction. If you touch the reaction vessel it will feel cool/cold, as it is taking in heat energy. By contract an Exothermic reaction is one that gives out heat. If you touch the reaction vessel it will feel warm/hot as it is liberating heat energy.
Any change in an atom's center is called?
When an atom has a nuclear reaction that converts it to a different element, that is a form of radioactive decay. Even the chain reaction that takes place when an atomic bomb explodes is radioactive decay, taking place more rapidly than usual.
The sun's own energy comes from solar energy?
Yes, and it is formed from the process called nuclear fusion. The sun's own energy comes from nuclear reactions taking place in the sun's core.
