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.

What are the names changes and location of sub atomic particles?

I believe you are asking for the names, charges, and location of subatomic particles? Subatomic particles are the small particles that make up an atom and include... * Protons: have an electron charge of +1, found in the nucleus of each atom but can also be stable by itself (as in the case of the hydrogen ion) * Electrons: have a negative charge, surround the nucleus of atoms * Neutrons: have no net charge, also found in the nucleus of atoms


Explain why the terms synthesis and decomposition are appropriate names for their respective reaction types?

Decomposition: Takes the composition of an organism when it dies and breaks it down to tiny particles of simple matter usually becoming a nutrient in the soil. Synthesis: Is combining two or more simple elements that work together to form something new.


Is sawdust proper or common?

"Sawdust" is a common noun, as it refers to a general substance made from wood that has been cut or sanded into fine particles. It does not denote a specific item or name but rather a type of material. In contrast, proper nouns refer to specific names of people, places, or organizations.


Is ch4 4cl2ccl4 4hcl endothermic?

You did not write any of those chemical names correctly (methane is CH4, not ch4) and all you did was list 4 incorrectly written chemicals, you did not give a chemical equation. Only a chemical reaction can be described as endothermic or exothermic; chemicals by themselves do not have those properties.


What were the names of the scientist that have helped out in the Atomic bomb that tis not Robert j oppenheiemer?

Several scientists played significant roles in the development of the atomic bomb, including Enrico Fermi, who created the first nuclear reactor, and Leo Szilard, who was instrumental in initiating the Manhattan Project. Other key figures include Niels Bohr, who contributed to the understanding of nuclear fission, and Richard Feynman, who worked on the bomb's design and engineering. Additionally, Ernest O. Lawrence and Emilio Segrè were also notable contributors to the project.
