this actually really funny because im looking for the same answer but i believe that the answer is a chemical activity is undergoing a chemical change while radioactivity is emission of radition

∙ 10y agoNuclear fission is the splitting of a heavy nucleus into two (oe less frequently three) fragments plus emission of 2-3 neutrons and release of energy due to mass defect. Radioactivity is the emission of radiation (beta, gamma, alpha, neutrons, ...) by an unstable nuclide in its tendency to reach nuclear stability.

Is the fission of uranium 235 an example of natural or artificial radioactivity?
Practically all the isotopes obtained by the nuclear fission of uranium are artificial radioactive isotope.
Could the atomic bomb exist without radioactivity?
fission bomb no, fusion bomb yes.
What is the main difference between breeder nuclear fission and convention nuclear fission?
In breeder nuclear fission more fuel is produced than what consumed. In conventional nuclear fission less fuel is produced than what is consumed.
What isdifference nuclear fission and nuclear fission?
The difference between Fusion and Fission is that Fission is easier to do and produces more energy than fusion reactions. However fission can be dangerous and is used in Nuclear reactors. Fusion however is safer and produces less energy but safely. It is quite difficult to cause a Fusion reaction however.
What is the difference between fission and sexual reproduction?
Fission is a process of assexual reproduction that happens when an organism divides, generating new organisms with independent life. Sexual reproduction requires two parents.
What are the difference between atomic fission to atomic nuclear?
The difference between atomic fission and atomic nuclear is that they both have something to do with atomic and war. Hope this helps I am kind of in a rush......Smile!
Difference between a well and flat slide?
it is called a binary fission
Is the fission of uranium 235 an example of natural or artificial radioactivity?
Practically all the isotopes obtained by the nuclear fission of uranium are artificial radioactive isotope.
Could the atomic bomb exist without radioactivity?
fission bomb no, fusion bomb yes.
Nuclear power plants generate electricity from?
Radioactivity more precisely fission chain reaction
What is the difference between fission and fusion in nuclear bombardment reactions?
im white
What is the difference between the atomic bomb and the hydrogen bomb?
fission vs fusion
What is the main difference between breeder nuclear fission and convention nuclear fission?
In breeder nuclear fission more fuel is produced than what consumed. In conventional nuclear fission less fuel is produced than what is consumed.
What type of power plant most exposes us to radioactivity coal or nuclear plants?
nuclear plants because the fission reaction releases lots of radioactive particles causing radioactivity..
What is the difference between radiation and radioactivity?
There is no difference in the meaning of the word. It is essentially the same thing. There are just two differenct forms of the word. You're still dealing with radium, Uranium, americium, and other radioactive elements either way.
Explain the difference between atomic fission and atomic fusion?
The main difference between these two processes is that fission is the splitting of an atom into two or more smaller ones while fusion is the fusing of two or more smaller atoms into a larger one.
How does the earth's core get hot?
Natural radioactivity. We are sitting / standing / living on the outside of a fission reactor. Friction between the particles of the core etc.also this means that the earth will die from the sun's hot rays
