When do elements turn radioactive?
This force is more stronger than the electromagnetic force, but the range of this force is only limited to size of the nucleus, unlike electromagnetic force whose range is infinite! This nuclear force acts between the protons and neutrons, irrespective of the charge and its always strongly attractive! However, it has limitations of range! So, in the nucleus, there is a constant tussle between the repelling electromagnetic coulomb force of protons and the attractive strong nuclear force. In a nucleus like Uranium, which has almost 92 protons, coulomb repulsive force becomes too much for the nuclear force to contain. Subsequently, the nucleus is very unstable and radioactive decay occurs, while Uranium decays into a more stable element. Such an unstable nucleus like Uranium, when gently tapped by a neutron, splits up into two other nuclei through nuclear fission, releasing tremendous amount of energy in the process! This is the principle on which nuclear energy and nuclear weapons are based!
What technology is uranium used for?
The uranium is used in nuclear technology. Uranium are used because they are isotopes, they produce radiations and when applied force their's atom's nuclei's may break which can cause a lot of produce of energy. It can be also used in thermal studies.
What would happen to an element if it didn't have nuclear strong force?
The nucleus would fly apart.
Would there be a stronger gravitational force acting among the particles of a helium nucleus or the particles of a uranium nucleus Explain?
Neither, the strength of the gravitational force between the subatomic particles inside nuclei is negligible compared to the strength of both the weak nuclear force or the strong nuclear force between the same subatomic particles inside those nuclei.
What force allows two protons to stick together?
The "strong nuclear" force, but this can only happen if there are also neutrons, as the "electromagnetic" force would usually repel two protons.
Why is uranium important in nuclear weapons?
uranium is extremely important. one isotope (look it up), uranium 235, is used in nuclear plants, and uranium 238 is used in in any thing from weights to high penetration tank shells and tank armor. the second, called spent uranium, is perfectly safe but is still legally considered toxic.
What 3 words holds protons and neutrons together in the nucleus?
The force between nucleons is called nuclear force.
What mechanisms are in?
gravitational force electrostatic force weak nuclear force strong nuclear force
Why uranium is used by military?
Nuclear weapons: large amount of energy, very great shock wave, heat and lethal radiations Armors: protection against projectiles, because uranium is very dense (19,05 g/cm3) Heavy munitions: because uranium is very dense and as a consequence has a great penetration force
What is nuclear energy if it is not renewable and not a fossil fuel?
It is energy stored by ancient supernovas in heavy nuclei like Uranium, when the stars exploded.It is also energy stored by the Big Bang in light nuclei like Hydrogen.This energy is stored in the Strong Nuclear Force as excess Nuclear Binding Energy.
What force exist in nature?
-- gravity -- electrostatic force -- weak nuclear force -- strong nuclear force
What particle of the atom is responsible for the nuclear reaction?
Protons and neutrons, collectively known as nucleons, are the particles responsible for nuclear reactions in the atom. The strong nuclear force binds these particles together in the nucleus, leading to nuclear reactions such as fission and fusion.
