Nuclear reactions such as fusion and fission convert?
Nuclear reactions convert very small amounts of matter into significant amounts of energy.
What is the difference between nuclear energy and light energy?
Light is electromagnetic energy. Nuclear energy is energy derived from nuclear reactions, and the nuclear reactions could be either fusion or fission reactions. As regards the energy that appears from nuclear reactions, it can take different forms, including the form of electromagnetic energy.
What chemicals are in nuclear energy?
Nuclear energy is not produced by chemical reactions
What does nuclear fusion convert hydrogen into?
Nuclear reactions in the cores of stars convert hydrogen to helium
What type of reactions can generate the most energy of nuclear?
Fusion and fission nuclear reactions.
Can you convert energy in to mass or mass into energy?
No. Nor can you convert mass into energy. In any reaction - including nuclear reactions - both the amount of mass and the amount of energy remain the same, before and after the reaction. For example, the energy that escapes from a nuclear reaction also has a corresponding mass. On the other hand, the energy existed before the reaction as well, in the form of (nuclear) potential energy.
Where do you get nuclear energy?
Nuclear energy is obtained through fission and fusion reactions.
What is released during nuclear reactions?
Energy (in the form of heat), also free neutrons.Binding energy
What do nuclear reactions release?
energy
What reactions convert light energy to chemical energy?
The light dependent reactions take in the light energy and convert that to chemical energy, but it is in the Calvin cycle (light independent reactions) where the chemical energy is stored in a complex sugar.
Which nuclear reactions is the source of the sums energy?
Nuclear fusion
How do you convert nuclear energy into chemical energy?
I don't know of any way to do this. Nuclear energy simply provides heat, so could conceivably be used to drive chemical reactions, but I don't think this has ever been done.
