Elements with the greatest nuclear binding energies per nuclear particle are the?
Nickel and iron
How do you work out binding energy?
The binding energy is used in nuclear reactors.
What is binding energy contributed to?
Nuclear energy is based on the release of binding energy.
What is the source of energy in nuclear weapons?
Nuclear binding energy, the excess energy holding the protons and neutrons making up the nucleus together. Atoms lighter than iron and nickel and atoms heavier than lead have this excess energy that can potentially be released. Hydrogen (the lightest element) is readily fused to make helium in hydrogen bombs and the elements uranium and plutonium are readily fissioned in atomic bombs.
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.
Elements with the greatest nuclear binding energies per nuclear particle are the?
Nickel and iron
How do you create a radioactive element?
in a nuclear reactorby using a particle acceleratorin a nuclear explosion
What is fission in physics?
In physics, fission is the process in which a heavy, unstable element is split into two lighter elements by bombarding it with a small particle. Some of the energy that was binding the element's nucleus together is then released, along with a third, tiny particle that is released as well. The tiny particle then collides with another of the heavy elements, causing it to split as well, emitting another particle which collides with another heavy element, and so on. This is the chain reaction that allows for sustainable nuclear power generation, in which the reaction is controlled, or the detonation of nuclear weapons, in which the reaction is uncontrolled.
What is the modern source of the roentgenium element?
Roentgenium is an artificial element, obtained via nuclear reactions in particle accelerators.
What element does thorium become if it emits an alpha particle?
The nuclear reaction is: 232Th--------------- 228Ra + α
What machine does scientist use to make element heavier than uranium?
particle accelerators and nuclear reactors
Is rutherfordium found by itself?
Rutherfordium is an artificial chemical element obtained by nuclear reactions in a particle accelerator.
Which element within period 2 contains the greatest nuclear charge?
Neon
Where can ununhexium be found?
Ununhexium is an artificial chemical element; it is prepared only in nuclear physics laboratories using particle accelerators.
What is the element with the most mass per nucleon?
The element has the lowest mass per nuclear particle is Iron, while hydrogen is the element with the highest mass per nuclear particle. Cause "nuclear particle" here means particles forming nucleus, like proton or neutron. Hydrogen has just one proton, and an atomic mass of 1.00794, it's mass per nuclear particle is also 1.00794. For heavier elements like Iron, they have higher atomic mass but also more particles in their nucleus. For instance, iron has 26 protons and 30 neutrons, and an atomic mass of 55.847, it's mass per nuclear particle should be 55.847/(26+30)<1, which is much smaller than that of hydrogen.
Why the nucleus do not blast apart?
There are strong nuclear binding forces among nucleons which are responsible for stability of nucleus, the recent research proved that nucleons are composed of Quarks the fundamental particles of matter, the transfer of Gluons (a binding particle) among protons and neutrons creates strong binding forces.
What happens in a nuclear charge when the starting particle changes its number of protons?
It changes the element! More protons more positive charge!
