What is necular energy?
produced when billions of nuclei from uranium, a radio active element, split apart in a nuclear fission reaction. :D By: Chelsea, a dumb blonde (:
When a nucleus absorbs a neutron and then breaks apart there are many products of the reaction Which of these is not a product of a nuclear fission reaction?
Uranium-235
When a nucleus absorbs a neutron and then breaks apart there are many products of the reaction . Which of these is not a product of a nuclear fission reaction?
Uranium-235
How do energy carriers participate in coupled reactions?
Energy carriers can be broken apart to power an endergonic reaction or assembled using energy from an exergonic reaction
The process of burning a fuel to change chemical energy into thermal energy is called?
When a fuel is burned, it is a combustion reaction. This reaction breaks apart chemical bonds and releases the energy stored in them.
How is energy involved in a chemical reaction?
Activation energy is needed to start a chemical reaction. This energy is used to join the reactants together or break them apart. If a reaction is exothermic then it gives energy out. If it is endo thermic then the reaction takes energy in.
What would happen if you would break molecules apart?
The subatomic particles of the Atom (neutrons, protons, electrons) are released at high velocity. Some of these particles can strike other atoms and cause them to break apart, releasing large amounts of energy; this is called nuclear fission (atoms fissioning into lighter atoms). A self-sustaining fission reaction where atoms break apart, and cause other atoms to break apart, can be created with many radioactive elements such as Plutonium or Uranium in an event called a Chain Reaction.
What The energy released when atoms are split apart or fused together in atomic reactions?
Nuclear Reaction.
Is uranium apart of a special group of elements?
Uranium is a member of the actinides family of elements.
Do you burn uranium to power nuclear energy?
It is not burning in the normal chemical sense, though nuclear engineers do talk about fuel burnup. By this they mean the amount of energy extracted from a tonne of fuel. The process is nuclear fission which means that the uranium nuclei split apart into two smaller fragments, and this releases thermal energy.
Nuclei of uranium atoms split apart?
no
One of the ways that enzymes speed chemical reaction is?
They are organic catalysts. All catalysts will speed up a reaction by lowering the activation energy of the reaction, or the energy required to break certain atoms apart so that they can be reformed to make new products.
