Types of nuclear reactions are?
There are four types of nuclear reactions. Fusion Fission Radioactive Decay Artificial Transmutation
What radioactive element is in nuclear reactions?
i think it is uranium
How are nuclear reactions that take place in the sun different from the nuclear reactions that take place in a nuclear reactor?
sun, fusion of hydrogen nuclei making helium nuclei (not radioactive)nuclear reactor, fission of uranium nuclei making a wide variety of different fission product isotopes having mass numbers from 72 to 161 (all very radioactive)
On the atomic level what causes an electromagnetic wave to be emitted?
On any level the movement of charge carriers (electrons, protons etc) cause EM radiation to be emitted. Gamma rays are also emitted as the result of some radioactive decay reactions All radioactive decay reactions produce EM radiation of some kind because they involve the movement of charge carriers such as the ejection of alpha particles (double positive charge).
The law of what and mass applies to chemical reactions?
The law of conservation of matter/mass applies to chemical reactions. This is why chemical equations must be balanced. The matter that goes into a chemical reaction is present in the products of the reaction, but the atoms have been rearranged to form products with new and unique properties different from the reactants.
What metal is used in nuclear reactions?
The following metals are involved in nuclear reactions. The preferred metal is Uranium 235. The next one is Plutonium 239. Important radioactive metals are Thorium and Cobalt 60. Important radioactive elements that are not metals include Radon and Iodine.
How are chemical reactions abbreviated?
Chemical reactions are abbreviated by their chemical equations.
What are unwanted radioactive products formed during nuclear reactions called?
Radioactive waste.
Are valence electrons only found in radioactive isotopes?
No. Nuclear reactions are not chemical reactions. They involve changes to the nucleus of the atom, such as radioactive decay.
What is a statically indeterminate beam?
If you can solve the beam reactions by the equations of equilibrium, then it is statically deterrminate. If not, that is, more unknown reactions than the equations of equilibrium, then it is indeterminate, and you need to know something about its deformation to solve the reactions.
Equilibrium national income?
Equilibrium level of income is solved by following a system of equations. For a detailed understanding, study the Law of Mass Action of chemical reactions.
How do you show chemical reactions in writing?
chemical equations
Are radioactive reactions redox reaction?
Radioactive reaction is a red-ox reaction. This is a nuclear decay.
What can chemical equations tell you about a chemical reactions?
Chemical equations describe the products and reactants in a chemical reaction.
Thermochemical equations are chemical equations that include the of the reaction.?
Termochemical reactions include the enthalpy of reactants and products.
Why are reactions described with formulas and chemical equations?
because yes!
What nuclear reactions are associated with radioactive decay?
weak force
