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 other particles are released in the reaction above?
In addition to gamma rays, other particles that can be released in nuclear reactions include neutrons, protons, alpha particles, beta particles (electrons or positrons), neutrinos, and various fission fragments. The specific particles released depend on the type of nuclear reaction taking place.
What energy is released in a nuclear reaction?
In a nuclear reaction, a small amount of mass is converted into energy according to Einstein's famous equation, E=mc^2. The energy released is in the form of electromagnetic radiation, such as gamma rays, and the kinetic energy of the particles produced in the reaction.
Energy and high-speed atomic particles released during a nuclear reaction are called?
Can be alpha, beta particles in radioactive decay, or neutrons in fission. There is also gamma ray energy which is part of the EM spectrum I believe the answer your looking for is Radiation
What particles maintain a nuclear chain reaction?
In most cases neutrons are emitted and capable of maintaining a nuclear chain reaction
What are the subatomic articles that can change in a nuclear reaction?
The subatomic particles that can change in a nuclear reaction are protons, neutrons, and electrons. During nuclear reactions, these particles can be gained or lost, leading to the formation of different elements and isotopes.
What emitted 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 is a process where two nuclei or particles interact to form different particles. This process can involve fusion, fission, or other types of interactions between atomic nuclei.
The energy and particles given off during a nuclear reaction are called?
Radiation
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 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.
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
