What are the names of the particles involve in a nuclear reaction?
If we are just considering the "basic" nuclear reaction in a "regular" nuclear reactor, the particles of interest are the uranium-235 atoms (which are fissionable), and the neutrons, which get loose and cause fissions when they are absorbed by the U-235 atoms. We could broaden this to include some other reactions, but this is a fabulous place to begin to investigate nuclear physics.
Energy is released when smaller nuclei join to form a larger nucleus in a process called what?
Nuclear fusion
What is the most important characteristic of a nuclear reaction?
Nuclear reactions involve the reaction of nuclei and does not involve transfer of electron as in regular chemical reactions.
What are some examples of nuclear energy?
Some examples of nuclear energy:A fission reaction at a nuclear power plant provides enough energy to give electricity to large cities.The fusion reaction in the sun provides our planet with all of the energy it needs for living organisms to survive.An uncontrolled fission reaction provides the destructive force of a nuclear bomb.source: softschools.com
Besides the neutron what was the other product of Chadwick's nuclear reaction?
carbon-12
What particles maintain a nuclear chain reaction?
In most cases neutrons are emitted and capable of maintaining a nuclear chain reaction
What is a process where two nuclei or particles interact to form different particles?
Nuclear Reaction
What emitted particles maintain a nuclear chain reaction?
In most cases neutrons are emitted and capable of maintaining a nuclear chain reaction
What energy is released in a nuclear reaction?
Nuclear Energy
What is the nuclear reaction called when atoms split?
The nuclear reaction when atoms split is called fission. Fission is where atoms split into smaller particles or atoms.
What quantities are conserved when balancing a nuclear reaction?
In order for a nuclear reaction to be balanced, there are quantities that must be conserved. The quantities are the atomic numbers and mass numbers of the particles involved in the reaction.
What is shot at isotope's nucleus to trigger nuclear chain reaction?
Gamma Particles
How is it possible to induce a nuclear reaction?
Not by chemical means. A nuclear reaction can be induced by bombarding the nucleus with neutrons, alpha particles, beta particles, gamma rays, high velocity nuclei from a particle accelerator, or cosmic ray particles. Neutrons are most effective at causing nuclear reactions as they have no charge and are reasonably massive.
What is the nuclear reaction when energy is released by the joining of nuclei?
Nuclear Fusion
Why is it necessary for a collision between atomic particles to occur so a nuclear reaction may begin?
High Energy produced with high velocity which required for nuclear reaction
Two particles to start nuclear fission reaction?
Uranium 235 (92U235) and slow Neutrons.
What do you mean by bombarding element?
A nuclear reaction in which an atom is bombarded with elementary particles or with a lighter atom.
