What else can I help you with?
The uranium 238 can be triggered to split when it is stuck by a?
a free neutron can trigger the split of a particle like uranium 238. It will produce a smaller atom (eg. proctantium), a beta particle and energy.
When uranium atoms split what is it called?
When uranium atoms split, it is called nuclear fission. This process releases a large amount of energy in the form of heat and radiation.
What kind of energy is produced when particle of metal are split into two?
Nuclear energy is released when uranium or plutonium nuclei are fissioned (split). Not clear what you mean by "particle", but nuclear energy only comes from a nuclear process, not a mechanical or chemical one.
When the atoms of uranium or plutonium split apart it is called?
This phenomenon is called nuclear fission.
What atom of this element can split to hel generate electricity?
The atom of uranium can split in a process called nuclear fission to generate electricity in nuclear power plants.
The type of particle a uranium-235 must absorb before it can split?
A uranium-235 nucleus must absorb a neutron in order to become unstable and split, a process known as nuclear fission. This absorption of a neutron causes the uranium-235 nucleus to become uranium-236, which then splits into two smaller nuclei, releasing additional neutrons and a large amount of energy.
How does uranium turn nuclear?
Pure Uranium is radioactive; thus harmful. Inside a nuclear reactor, atoms get split. When the Uranium atom is split, it releases a huge amount of energy. This energy is called nuclear energy. Also the normal Uranium is not used in reactors. The Uranium that is used is enhanced; it is an isotope of Uranium. Uranium-237 and Uranium-238 are used in nuclear reactors. I hope this answer was useful for you.
When were uranium atoms split?
Uranium atoms are split during nuclear fission. Uranium-235 and uranium-233 are fissile with thermal neutrons and uranium-238 is fissile with fast neutrons.
Can a quark be split?
Quarks are elementary particles and cannot be split or isolated due to the strong force that binds them together. They are always found in groups of two or three within a particle called a hadron.
Uranium 235 can be split using what?
Usually a small subatomic particle such as a neutron, since it does not contain any charge and thus is not repelled by the positively charged nucleus, and it is massive enough to give enough energy to split the uranium nucleus.
What is the process called that releases energy from Uranium?
The process is called nuclear fission, where the nucleus of a uranium atom is split into smaller nuclei, releasing a large amount of energy in the form of heat and radiation.
What is uranium 235 when added to natural uranium?
When uranium-235 is added to natural uranium, it increases the overall percentage of uranium-235 in the mixture. This can make the uranium more suitable for use in nuclear reactors or weapons, as uranium-235 is more fissile (more easily split by neutrons) than uranium-238.
