Is fission reaction chemical reaction?
A fission reaction is a chemical reaction wherein the atom gets split to generate energy. The most commonly used controlled form of this is in splitting Hydrogen for producing energy in nuclear reactors. It is also used in weaponry such as Hydrogen Bombs which have much greater power than in nuclear fusion reactions.
When a rocket is launched is it physical chemical or nuclear change?
When a rocket is launched, it undergoes both physical and chemical changes. The ignition of the rocket fuel is a chemical change, as it involves the breaking and forming of chemical bonds to release energy for propulsion. The physical changes include the motion of the rocket as it moves through the atmosphere and the transformation of potential energy into kinetic energy.
What object goes from chemical to thermal energy?
A matchstick is an example of an object that undergoes a chemical reaction to produce thermal energy when ignited. The chemical reaction between the match head and the striking surface generates heat, causing the match to burn and produce thermal energy.
What element is needed to make a nuclear weapon?
A nuclear weapon requires enriched uranium or plutonium as the fissile material to sustain a chain reaction and create a nuclear explosion. Additionally, a conventional chemical explosive is needed to trigger the nuclear reaction.
Is a phase change an example of a physical or chemical or nuclear or a covalent change?
A phase change is an example of a physical change, not a chemical, nuclear, or covalent change. During a phase change, the substance undergoes a change in state (solid, liquid, gas) without any change in its chemical composition.
Is fusion a type of chemical reaction?
False
State wether a nuclear fusion is a chemical reaction or a nuclear reaction?
Nuclear
What part of a nuclear power plant that undergoes a fission reaction called?
The part of a nuclear power plant that undergoes a fission reaction is called the reactor core. This is where the nuclear fuel, such as uranium or plutonium, is housed and where the chain reaction occurs to produce heat energy.
How much more powerful between chemical and nuclear reactions?
A nuclear reaction is much powerful than a chemical reaction.
In a nuclear fission reaction a freely moving neutron?
In a nuclear fission reaction, a freely moving neutron undergoes neutron capture and initiates the nuclear fission of a fuel atom.
Does the explosion in a nuclear bomb count as a rapid chemical reaction?
No, a nuclear bomb involves a nuclear chain-reaction.A chemical reaction involves the orbiting electrons in an atom.A nuclear reaction involves the nucleus (hence "Nuclear") of an atom.
Is fusion chemical nuclear or mechanical?
Fusion is a nuclear reaction.
What chemical reaction produces heat and energy in a star?
it is not a chemical reaction. It is a nuclear reaction and it is called fusion.
Is it a chemical reaction or a nuclear reaction when two compounds are combined heat is realeased?
Chemical.
What separates a chemical reaction from a nuclear reaction?
In a nuclear reaction, the nucleus of an atom undergoes a change. Common examples would be alpha decay, beta decay, fusion, and fusion. In each of those cases, different elements are formed in the process. This never happens in ordinary chemical reactions. In chemical reactions, it is the electrons that are involved , not the nucleus of the atom.
When an element undergoes nuclear transmutation the result is a completely different what?
When an element undergoes nuclear transmutation the result is a completely different element or isotope. All transmutation occurs through decay or nuclear reaction.
Is conversion by radioactive decay a chemical reaction?
No. It is a nuclear reaction - radioactive disintegration.
