Is fission a particle?
No. Fission is a process.
Is same product formed in fission of uranium 235?
After the nuclear fission of uranium-235 many fission products (other elements) are formed.
Bombarding uranium-235 with creates energy through fission.?
Bombarding uranium-235 with _____ creates energy through fission.
Element used in fission?
Usually uranium with various U-235 percentages.
What reaction occurs when uranium atoms are splilt?
I'm assuming you mean Uranium 235 (the dangerous kind). Through nuclear decay we have this. U235 -> Th231 + a (a = alpha radiation particle). This yeilds 4.679 MeV of energy. Through nuclear fission, it is a lot more complicated. Since the Uranium particle does not always break the same way. Sometimes it will break into Cs135 and Mo100, and sometimes it will break into Sr89 and Nd146. These fission particles (the leftovers after uranium breaks up) will often go through rapid nuclear decay, because they are often very unstable, and will keep decaying down until they get to more stable materials. So it is really hard to map exactly what is happening on the whole.
What particle is nessicary to start a fisson reation?
A fission reaction in uranium requires neutrons.
What is it called when a particle of an atom that flies off when a uranium atom is split?
Probably you think at fission products.
What particle of the atom is responsible for the nuclear reaction?
The protons! If a proton is removed from an atom it fission (usually from Uranium) and if one is gained it is fusion.
Is fission a particle?
No. Fission is a process.
Is it true or false that uranium nuclei split during nuclear fission?
It is true that a uranium nucleus splits in the nuclear fission of uranium.
Is same product formed in fission of uranium 235?
After the nuclear fission of uranium-235 many fission products (other elements) are formed.
What are facts about uranium fission?
The fission energy of the fissile isotope uranium-235 is 1,68.10e8 kJ/mol.
Do uranium nuclei split during nuclear fission?
if the fission was of uranium, then yes. but many transuranic elements (e.g. plutonium, americium) also fission.
None of the products of nuclear fission of uranium are radioactive?
The answer is FALSE. Products of Nuclear fission of Uranium are highly radioactive.
Does Uranium 238 and 235 release neutrons in nature as they do in a fission process?
Yes, by spontaneous fission, but the nymber of neutrons is very small because the halflife of the spontenuoes fission is: for Uranium 235: (1,0 ± 0,3).1019 years for Uranium 238: (8,20 ± 0,10).1015years
What particle is used to start nuclear fission?
In actuality, a spontaneous fission event begins a nuclear chain reaction. It kick starts a nuclear chain reaction. And a neutron from that fission will initiate another fission to continue and rev up that nuclear chain reaction.
When did Hahn discovered uranium fission?
Discovering of uranium fission: Otto Hahn and Fritz Strassmann: 17 December 1938.
