Atomic energy is the energy of heat mass or fluorescence?

Atomic energy is produced when atoms of uranium235 or other fissile material split, or undergo fission. It is nothing to do with fluorescence, and I don't understand 'heat mass'


What is induced nuclear fission?

We might think of induced nuclear fission as a fission reaction that occurs when a neutron is captured by, say, a uranium-235 atom and that atomic nucleus undergoes fission as a result. Most all of the fission events within a nuclear reactor or nuclear weapon are induced. Given this, we might then compare that fission event to a spontaneous fission event wherein the atomic nucleus of a uranium-235 atom spontaneously undergoes fission without having captured a neutron.


Protactinium with 91 protons and a mass of 234 undergoes alpha decay and becomes what with an atomic number of what and an atomic mass of what?

It would be actinium with 89 protons and a mass of 230.


Can Nuclear fission occur in quarks?

Currently, it can't. May be it could be in future.


Is an atomic number always equal to the number of protons?

Yes, it is. The type of atom is defined by the atomic number. Usually, when an atom undergoes a chemical reaction, only the sharing/possession of electrons changes, and the number of protons (and so the atomic number of the element) stays the same. When an atom somehow undergoes a nuclear reaction, which is possible, the number of protons sometimes do change, but in that case the atomic number (and thus the element type) becomes different as well.


What is produced when uranium-235 undergoes fission?

When uranium-235 undergoes fission, it can produce two or more lighter nuclei, several neutrons, and a large release of energy in the form of gamma radiation and kinetic energy. This process is what powers nuclear reactors and atomic bombs.


Is atomic bomb fission or fusion?

Fission.


Do atomic bombs work with atomic fission?

no


What happens when Fr-223 undergoes alpha decay?

When Fr-223 undergoes alpha decay, it emits an alpha particle consisting of two protons and two neutrons. This transforms the nucleus into a different element with atomic number decreased by 2 and atomic mass number decreased by 4.


Is atomic number used for parts of mixtures?

The atomic number tells you how many protons an atom has. ... Fission was first used in atomic bombs that the Americans dropped over Japan to end ... Mixtures of carbon and hydrogen are in petroleum and natural gas.


What are counted in an an atom to determine mass number?

Atomic Mass: protons AND neutrons atomic number: just protons


A sub atomic particle which determines the atomic number?

Protons are subatomic particles that determine the atomic number of an element. The number of protons in an atom's nucleus is what defines its atomic number; this uniquely identifies each element on the periodic table.
