During nuclear fusion reaction, large amount of energy is released in the process.When two nuclei are combined to form a heavy nucleus, there occurs a mass defect. In other words, the mass of heavy nucleus turns out to be less than the some of masses of the two nuclei.This mass results in the release of large amount of energy according to the relation E = mc2
Other fusion reactions and energy release
1. 1H2 + 1H2 ----> 2H4 + 24MeV
2. 1H2 + 1H3 ----> 2He4 + 0n1 + 17.6 MeV
3. 1H2 + 1H2 ----> 2He3 + 0n1 + 3.27 MeV
What else can I help you with?
What happens to matter when it is converted in a nuclear reaction?
In a nuclear reaction, matter is converted into energy.
What nuclear reaction happens when two small nuclei combine?
Nuclear fusion.
What is the reaction that happens in a stars core is?
nuclear fusion
What type of reaction happens in a power plant?
Nuclear fission
What happens to some of the mass in a nuclear reaction like fusion?
it fusions
What type of reaction happens in a nuclear power plant?
A nuclear fission reaction occurs in a nuclear power plant. This is the process where the nucleus of an atom is split, releasing large amounts of energy in the form of heat, which is used to generate electricity.
What happens to the radioactive isotopes that are released in a nuclear reaction?
they decay over time
What nuclear reaction happens between hydrogen and helium in the sun?
Nuclear fusion, in which hydrogen-1 is fused into helium-4.
What process happens when two atoms combine?
Nuclear fusion
What reaction keeps going on its own once it starts?
A chain reaction is a type of reaction that keeps going on its own once it starts due to the products of the reaction continuing to fuel the reaction. Nuclear fission reactions in nuclear power plants and explosions are examples of chain reactions that continue on their own once initiated.
What happens if a nuclear chain reaction is not controlled?
If a nuclear chain reaction is not controlled, it can lead to a runaway reaction with an increase in heat and radiation release beyond safe levels. This can result in a nuclear meltdown, leading to damage to the reactor core and potential release of harmful radioactive materials into the environment.
State wether a nuclear fusion is a chemical reaction or a nuclear reaction?
Nuclear
