Why are the products of nuclear fusion slightly less massive than the reactions?
The products of nuclear fusion are slightly less massive than the mass of the reactants because some of the mass of the reactants is converted into nuclear binding energy to hold the fusion product together.
What lists ranks nuclear radiation from most massive to least massive?
Alpha, beta, gamma
What products do you gain by nuclear fission?
The products which are created as a result of nuclear fission are Pu-239 and a lot of nuclear waste.
What is energy released from atomic reactions called?
it is equal to the difference of mass between the products and the reactants multiplied by the square of the speed of light in vaccum. (infact it is well apllicable to chemical reactions also where only small differences in masses are involved.) NOTE:- the enery released or absorbed depends o whether the products are lighter ot heavier than the reactants. Famous Eintiens enery equivalent of mass * E=mc^2 *~
None of the products of nuclear fission of uranium are radioactive?
The answer is FALSE. Products of Nuclear fission of Uranium are highly radioactive.
Why are the products of nuclear fusion slightly less massive than the reactions?
The products of nuclear fusion are slightly less massive than the mass of the reactants because some of the mass of the reactants is converted into nuclear binding energy to hold the fusion product together.
What are the reactants and products of the forward reaction?
The reactants are on the left side of the equation, and the products are on the right side of the equation. The reactants are used up in a chemical reaction, and the products are the substances made by the reaction.
What term describes the tiny difference in mass between the products and reactants of a nuclear change?
mass defect
What is the relationship between reactants and products in chemical reactions?
According to the Law of Conservation of Mass, in a chemical reaction, matter is neither created nor destroyed. Because of this the sum of the mass of the reactants will always equal the mass of the products.
What happens to the reactants in a chemical reaction?
Put casually, they react with each other to form products. e.g. Reactants A & B form products C & D A + B = C + D
What changes occurs during a nuclear change?
Elements are created that differ from the reactants.
What lists ranks nuclear radiation from most massive to least massive?
Alpha, beta, gamma
What products do you gain by nuclear fission?
The products which are created as a result of nuclear fission are Pu-239 and a lot of nuclear waste.
Define massive retaliation?
Massive retaliation is a military strategy of counterattack involving the use of nuclear weapons.
What is nuclear weapon?
An explosive device that uses massive conventional explosives to split radioactive atoms and cause a MASSIVE release of energy by nuclear fission or fusion. A BIG BOOM!!!!
What aspect of president Eisenhower foreign policy called for large numbers of nuclear weapons?
massive retaliation
Does the US military have a nuclear bomb?
they have nuclear missiles. and they have many powerful explosives. and yes massive bombs.
