One large nucleus, typically uranium, undergoes fission and releases several neutrons along with the major fission products. These neutrons strike more uranium atoms and are absorbed by the nucleus causing it to become unstable. It undergoes fission releasing more neutrons and more fission products. These neutrons strike more uranium atoms etc.
What else can I help you with?
State wether a nuclear fusion is a chemical reaction or a nuclear reaction?
Nuclear
How do you say nuclear reaction in German?
nuclear reaction= Kernreaktion
Is fusion a type of chemical reaction?
False
What describes a nuclear reaction?
nuclear
What type of reaction supplies the most energy?
fusion nuclear reaction followed by fission nuclear reaction
Is a nuclear reaction a living thing?
A nuclear reaction is not considered a living thing.
Is nuclear energy a fission or fusion reaction?
Nuclear energy is either:fission reaction, orfusion reaction, orradioactive decay
What happens to matter when it is converted in a nuclear reaction?
In a nuclear reaction, matter is converted into energy.
What starts the nuclear chain reaction in a nuclear reactor?
The nuclear chain reaction in a nuclear reactor is started by the splitting of uranium atoms, a process known as nuclear fission.
Does the explosion in a nuclear bomb count as a rapid chemical reaction?
No, a nuclear bomb involves a nuclear chain-reaction.A chemical reaction involves the orbiting electrons in an atom.A nuclear reaction involves the nucleus (hence "Nuclear") of an atom.
Is a nuclear reaction a form of nuclear energy?
Yes.
What is the most common nuclear reaction?
The most common nuclear reaction is nuclear fusion, where atoms combine to form a heavier nucleus. This reaction is what powers the sun and other stars, as well as hydrogen bombs.
