What are the first two elements to form when hydrogen nuclei undergo fusion?
helium & lithium
Is transmutation of elements and nuclear transmutation are same?
Yes.
What was Bohr's Aomic Theory?
Bohr's Atomic Theory stated that all atoms revolve around the nucleus
Are All atoms of actinides are radioactive?
The actinides all have a numerical ratio of protons to neutrons that makes their atomic nuclei unstable. This causes those nuclei to expel some type of particle (alpha or beta) and this causes a transmutation into another less massive (and usually more stable) element. This is radioactive decay.
Is true about nuclear fission?
Any nuclei of elements greater than one proton, ie; hydrogen, can undergo fission depending on the amount of energy available.
What does it mean for an element to undergo transmutation?
an element becomes a totally different element..
How do cell that do not undego cytokinesis differ in appearance from cell that do undergo cytokinesis?
Cells that do not undergo cytokinesis will have multiple nuclei, while cells that do undergo cytokinesis will have only one nucleus.
Where do you get nuclear energy from?
From heat released when nuclei of uranium 235 undergo fission
Which pair of nuclei can undergo a fusion reaction?
Hydrogen-2 and hydrogen-3
Is this true radioactive elements can undergo more than one decay or transmutation in order to form a stable nucleus?
Yes, is true.
Will unstable nuclei all undergo radioactive decay in order to gain stability?
Yes
What are the first two elements to form when hydrogen nuclei undergo fusion?
helium & lithium
How are elements artificially transmuted?
Scientists can bombard atomic nuclei with high-energy particles such as protons, neutrons, or alpha particles. Scientists synthesize a transuranium element by the artificial transmutation of a lighter element. ... It involves nuclear change, not chemical change. NOTE nuclear decay is a transmutation that happens naturally
A nuclear reaction in which an atoms nucleus is split into two smaller nuclei and energy is released as heat is known as?
nuclear fission
Why prokaryotic cells do not undergo proper mitosis?
because the undergo binary fission, as they have no cell membrane bounded structures or nucleus.
Comparison of fission fusion and transmutation?
Fission is the splitting of heavy nuclei, mostly Uranium235 but also Plutonium 239, which is made to happen in nuclear fission reactors, and releases energy. Transmutation of elements occurs in this process as when the heavy nucleus splits, two lighter nuclei of other elements such as caesium, strontium, iodine, are formed, these are the fission products. Fusion is the joining together of two nuclei, the ones being experimented with being deuterium and tritium, both isotopes of hydrogen. These transmute to helium during fusion.
Why is decay necessary?
Those elements undergo the 'decay' process which have unstable nuclei so decay is necessary to gain the stability. such elements form the smaller stable nuclei as Lead nucleus.
