What is split in a nuclear reactor to release energy?
The nucleus (nuclei) of uranium-235 or plutonium-239
Which energy releases smaller nuclei to form a larger nucleus?
You are thinking of nuclear fusion, where in the stars hydrogen forms into helium with energy release
What makes nuclear power nuclear?
The word nuclear comes from nucleus. Nuclear power comes from the release of binding energy (Strong Atomic Force) in the nucleus of atoms.
What energy is the energy that is stored in an atoms nucleus?
If it is stored in the nucleus, it must be nuclear energy.
What is nuclear and nucleus binding energy?
Nuclear or nucleus binding energy are one and the same. IT is the force which is holding the nucleons together (protons and neutrons). Higher the binding energy , higher the stability of the nucleus.
Is glucose a source of energy?
yes. glucose metabolises and decomposes to form carbon dioxide, water with the release of energy
What is when the nucleus of an atom decomposes called?
radioactive decay
What type of energy is release when a proton is knock out of atoms nucleus?
nuclear energy
What stage of respiration that release most of the energy in the glucose occurs in the?
It is Nucleus
What is called splitting the nucleus of an atom to release energy?
Nuclear fission
What is energy stored in the nucleus of an atom called?
Binding energy. and some is even stored in particles, such as the neutron which has a half-life of about ten minutes before it disintegrates with the release of energy.
What exactly is nuclear fusion?
It is the combination of two nuclei into one nucleus and release of energy on consequence.
What is split in a nuclear reactor to release energy?
The nucleus (nuclei) of uranium-235 or plutonium-239
Energy stored in the nucleus of an atom is called?
Energy that is stored in the nucleus of an atom is called Atomic Energy or nuclear energy.
Which energy releases smaller nuclei to form a larger nucleus?
You are thinking of nuclear fusion, where in the stars hydrogen forms into helium with energy release
What is the splitting of a nucleus with the release of nuclear energy into two fragments of approximately equal size called?
Fission
Energy equivalent to the missing mass in the nucleus?
binding energy is the energy equivalent to the missing mass in the nucleus
