We see uranium-235 (U-235) used in nuclear power plants because it can capture thermal neutrons fairly readily, and it will usually fission releasing more neutrons to continue the nuclear chain reaction.
After absorbing a neutron, U-235 will split into 2-3 smaller atoms - and emit 2-3 neutrons in the process. This makes it possible to continue the reaction.Most radioactive isotopes don't decay this way - though a certain isotope of thorium could also be used instead of U-235.
Nuclear fission is defined as splitting large nuclei into smaller ones.
nuclear fusion
Nuclear Fusion. This process involves 'fusing' together two smaller nuclei to form a bigger nucleus.
In nuclear physics and nuclear chemistry, nuclear fission is a nuclear reaction in which the nucleus of an atom splits into smaller parts (lighter nuclei), often producing free neutrons and photons (in the form of gamma rays).
Time and Mass. All particles can be broken down into smaller particles endlessly.
Nuclear fission is defined as splitting large nuclei into smaller ones.
Catabolism is the breakdown of larger, more complex molecules into smaller, simpler ones.Energy is released and some is trapped and made available for work.
Polysaccharides
nuclear fusion
cells make up tissues therefore you could safely assume that cells are simpler,
nuclear fission
Nuclear fission.
Fission of uranium and plutonium is mainly used to produce electricity, but also smaller reactors are used to produce radioisotopes for medical and industrial use
it makes the molecules smaller and simpler
Nuclear fusion is the process of merging nuclei with smaller masses into a nucleus with a larger mass.
The process of nuclear fission involves splitting the nucleus of an atom into two smaller nuclei.
The splitting of an atomic nucleus into smaller nuclei is called nuclear fission.
