What else can I help you with?
What change occurs during nuclear fission?
Elements are created that differ from the reactants.
Are the nuclei lighter after nuclear fission?
Yes, the results of nuclear fission include the production of lighter nuclei. The originating atom has split into smaller pieces.
What is the form of nuclear energy?
Nuclear energy as used in power plants results from fission of uranium235 and plutonium239
What do you mean by Nuclear Fission?
Nuclear fission is a process where the nucleus of an atom splits into two or more smaller nuclei, releasing a large amount of energy. This process is the basis for nuclear power plants and nuclear weapons.
Where do you get nuclear fission?
You get nuclear fission in:nuclear fission reactorsatomic fission bombs
What is the splitting of an atoms nucleus into two smaller nuclei is called?
nuclear fission
Are nuclear bombs made with nuclear fusion?
Nuclear bombs can use either nuclear fission or nuclear fusion as the primary mechanism of energy release. Most nuclear bombs in current arsenals rely on nuclear fission reactions, while thermonuclear bombs use a fission reaction to trigger a fusion reaction.
A nuclear reaction in which an atoms nucleus is split into two smaller nuclei and energy is released as heat is known as?
nuclear fission
What are some positive aspects of Nuclear Fission?
Renewable
What processes a molecule splits releasing neutrons and energy?
In nuclear fission it is the nucleus of the atom that splits, not a molecule, and this releases neutrons and energy. Reactions at the molecule level are termed chemical reactions, not nuclear, and these chemical reactions involve whole atoms and molecules.
Does Nuclear fission create any waste materials.?
nuclear fission results in the presence of used nuclear fuel that should be:either reprocessed (to gain back the remaining uranium and produced plutonium and to get the fission products as vitrified waste), orstored as high active waste; either under water or in dry storage casks.
The splitting of a heavy nucleus is called?
The splitting of a heavy nucleus is called nuclear fission. This process releases a large amount of energy and is the principle behind nuclear power plants and nuclear weapons.
