The smallest amount of a fissionable material that will give a self-sustaining chain reactions is called the?
The smallest amount of a fissionable material that will produce a self-sustaining chain reaction is called the critical mass. This mass of affected by geometry and other factors such as temperature, pressure, and moderator.
What was the smallest cyclone ever recorded?
The highest sustained wind speed on record in a tropical cyclone came with Typhoon Haiyan in 2013 with peak sustained wind speeds of 195 mph.
What is the smallest unit of textile material called?
A knot.
What is the name smallest part of an element that can take part in a reaction?
An atom.
Can new molecules can be created in a chemical reaction?
New molecules can be made with the atoms around. New atoms, therefore, cannot be made or destroyed. *Law of conservation of matter* explains deeper.

Critical mass is the of material required to produce a chain reaction?
minimum amount
Do nuclear reactors have critical mass?
We know that critical mass can be achieved in a nuclear reactor. If it could not, we'd not be able to get a chain reaction and generate heat to generate power. Reactors don't have critical mass when the control rods are in, but pull the rods, start the reactor up and away you go!
What are the top smallest stars in the Milky Way?
The very smallest "stars" in the galaxy are brown dwarfs. These are starlike objects that have failed to produce sustained nuclear fusion.
The smallest unit of textile material is called?
The smallest unit of textile material is a fiber. The length of a fiber is greater than the diameter.
