Why nuclear reactions release more energy than chemical reactions?
nuclear more
What are unwanted radioactive products formed during nuclear reactions called?
Radioactive waste.
Spliting of nucleus into smaller fragments?
the splitting of the nucleus into smaller fragments is called fission.This was the same process used when the US dropped its atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki during WWII back in 1945 using Uranium in one, and Plutonium in the other.
What elements are found in Nuclear Power Plants?
Uranium Plutonium Neptunium Boron Carbon - Many elements formed during Uranium fission but first four will be found in all breeder reactions
Is there more energy released in a nuclear reaction or a chemical reaction?
The principle difference between them lies in how the reaction occurs, specifically how the atom is affected. Chemical reactions involve an atom's electrons while nuclear reactions involve the atom's nucleus.
How do you alter nucleus of an atom?
The nucleus is altered during nuclear reactions.
What is released during nuclear reactions?
Energy (in the form of heat), also free neutrons.Binding energy
Why nuclear reactions release more energy than chemical reactions?
nuclear more
What kind of energy releases during nuclear reactions?
Nuclear energy and fart gas
The splitting of the nucleus of a large atom into two or more smaller nuclei occurs during nuclear?
The splitting of an atomic nucleus is known as nuclear fission.
When the nucleus disappears during prophase it fragments into which fuse to reform the nucleus during telophase?
The nuclear envelope disappears during prometaphase.
Besides the nucleus what else is broken down during prophase?
Nuclear membrane and nucleolus
What wave are sometimes released during nuclear reactions?
Gamma radiation
How do you turn an atom into an isotopes?
This is possible only during nuclear reactions.
What structure within the nucleus disappears during prophase?
The nuclear envelope.
What does nuclear envelope pores mean?
The nuclear envelope is the nuclear membrane. Nuclear pores are openings in the nuclear membrane that allow for the movement of materials into and out of the nucleus. For example, the mRNA that forms in the nucleus during DNA transcription leaves the nucleus through the pores in the nuclear membrane, and attaches to ribosomes in the cytoplasm and rough endoplasmic reticulum.
Why it is important for the nuclear membrane to disintegrate during mitosis?
The nuclear membrane degrades in the part of mitosis called the "prometaphase". It is important because in the process of cytokinesis (nucleus division) the new nucleus has to burst out of the parent nucleus. The disintegration of the nuclear membrane makes sure that the new nucleus will come out smoothly and easily. If the nuclear membrane didn't disintegrate, the new nucleus would burst from the parent nucleus and therefore will damage the cell.
