One type of nuclear reactions is fusion. This usually occur under extreme conditions - extreme temperatures and pressures. This most commonly occurs in the center of stars (including our Sun); in some cases also on the surface of a star (when matter falls onto the star, temporarily producing the high temperatures required). So far, it it not economically practical to do this artificially (search for "fusion reactor") - except for the destructive H-bomb. Fusion reactions usually occur if sufficient amounts of Uranium or some other heavy elements come together. This is the case with a nuclear reactor, and an atomic bomb.
What else can I help you with?
Where is the nuclear energy produced in a nuclear reactor?
Nuclear energy is produced in the core of a nuclear reactor, where controlled nuclear fission reactions occur. These reactions release heat energy, which is then used to generate electricity through steam turbines.
What does the inner core do for the sun?
That's where the nuclear reactions occur that keep it lit.
Where in the sun do most of the nuclear reactions occur?
At the center, where the gravitational pressure is highest.
What is naturalization reaction?
Natural nuclear fusion reactions occur in all stars
What chemical reaction produces the sun and energy?
These are not chemical reactions but thermonuclear reactions.
How else are nuclear reactions unlike chemical reactions?
In nuclear reactions the atom itself changes while molecules and/or structural organisation of atoms do in chemical and physical changes.
Can the production of new atoms occur doing a chemical reaction?
No, it is not possible; we need nuclear reactions for this.
Where does the reaction occur in nuclear fission?
Nuclear fission reactions typically occur in the core of a nuclear reactor. This is where the fissionable material, such as uranium-235, is bombarded with neutrons, causing the nuclei to split and release more neutrons and energy in a chain reaction.
Which is generally not associated with nuclear reactions?
Weather patterns are generally not associated with nuclear reactions. Nuclear reactions involve processes that occur at the atomic nucleus level, often related to the release of energy through fission or fusion, whereas weather patterns are the result of complex interactions in Earth's atmosphere and are driven by factors such as temperature, pressure, and humidity.
What is the difference between the nuclear reactions in a nuclear reactor and those in an atomic bomb?
Nuclear reactions in a nuclear reactor are controlled reactions. The reactions in the atomic bomb are not controlled reactions
Fusion reactions on the sun?
yes nuclear fusion does occur on the sun, creating intense heat and light
Transmutation reactions can occur when the?
In nuclear science, transmutation is where one chemical element or isotope is converted into another. It occurs when materials decay, or it can be caused by nuclear reaction.
