Element used in an explosive ingredient in nuclear weapons?
The radioactive elements plutonium or uranium are the elements that are used in nuclear weapons that create nuclear fission. Isotopes of hydrogen are used in nuclear weapons that create nuclear fusion.
What is recombination of chemical elements?
it is when a reaction occurs and elements are "taken" apart and put in a new order to create a new substance.
What does a solute and a solvent have in common?
Well actually they have virtually nothing in common besides being mixed together in a solution to create a chemical reaction.
One element ------be changed into another element by a chemical reaction?
Can not. Elements can not be changed into other elements by chemical reactions. Elements changing into other elements requires an atomic reaction, like nuclear fusion.
When does a double replacement reaction occur?
A double replacement occurs when two compounds are dissolved in water. The compounds then exchange elements and create two new compounds.
Why must a synchrotron be used to create a?
By the intermediate of a nuclear reaction this new element is obtained.Now heavy elements are bombarded with nuclei from other elements.
What two elements were combined to create ununoctium?
The nuclear reaction is:Cf-249 + Ca-48 = Uuo-294 + 3n
Element used in an explosive ingredient in nuclear weapons?
The radioactive elements plutonium or uranium are the elements that are used in nuclear weapons that create nuclear fission. Isotopes of hydrogen are used in nuclear weapons that create nuclear fusion.
What type of nuclear reaction is used to create power in nuclear power plants?
Nuclear fission
How did nuclear fussion in stars help create the elements?
Light elements combined to form the heavier elements.
Does nuclear fusion in massive stars create heavy elements?
yes
Who was the first to create the first chain reaction?
The first to create the first nuclear chain reaction was Enrico Fermi. Refer to link below for details.
In a nuclear reaction energy is release by the combination of two elements into a new element is the process of what?
The process of combining elements to create a new element is nuclear fusion. As we normally consider it, in this process, a great deal of energy is liberated. They are exothermic. But there are types of fusion that are endothermic, though we only encounter them in something like a supernova.
How is electricity generated by nuclear fuels?
The nuclear reaction creates heat. The heat is used to create steam and run a steam generator.
What does nuclear power and nuclear weapons have in common?
They both utilise nuclear fission, in which nuclei of U-235 or Pu-239 are split apart which releases enormous energy. In nuclear power this is done at a comparatively slow controllable rate, in a weapon you want a very rapid reaction to create a huge blast of energy.
What are the names of the elements used to create the light in a star?
Stars use nuclear fusion of hydrogen to helium to create the energy they emit.
What is recombination of chemical elements?
it is when a reaction occurs and elements are "taken" apart and put in a new order to create a new substance.
