- When creating nuclear energy,
- When your live in an area with radioactive rocks like Cornwall has and certain amount of Argon below it,
- Cosmic rays occasionally get through giving a small amount of radiation
- At the dentist's/ doctors/ school,
There is many places you come across nuclear energy! :)
What else can I help you with?
Can nuclear power plants produce material that could be converted?
Nuclear energy is released from the nucleus when U235 fissions, it appears initially as kinetic energy of the fission fragments, these are then stopped in the fuel material and turned to thermal energy. We can't use the nuclear energy directly.
Energy stored in the nucleus of an atom is called?
Energy that is stored in the nucleus of an atom is called Atomic Energy or nuclear energy.
What is released during nuclear reactions?
Energy (in the form of heat), also free neutrons.Binding energy
Produced when two or more nuclei join together or when the nucleus of one atoms splits apart?
Nuclear Energy
Can nuclear energy be used everywhere?
Yes. There are virtually no physical limitations to where nuclear power can be used. Nuclear reactors have already been used on land, air and sea... and submerged and in space. Not only we humans use nuclear energy, but it is the primary source of energy in natural processess in the world too. Life on earth depends on the sun's energy, which in part is produced by nuclear fusion in the heart of the star.
Where does the energy come from in a nuclear fission reaction?
In a nuclear fission reaction, the energy comes from the splitting of atomic nuclei.
What Energy resources that don't come from the sun?
Geothermal energy, which comes from the heat within the Earth's crust, and nuclear energy, which is generated from the splitting of atoms in nuclear reactions, are two examples of energy resources that do not come directly from the sun.
What trend in ionization energy occurs across a period on the periodic table and why?
The ionisation energy increases across a period. Across a period, nuclear charge increases. The tendency to loose electron decreases.
Where does the energy from nuclear reactions come from?
Damaged Power Plants
Nuclear energy could come from?
from the splitting of uranium atoms
Why the 1st ionic energy increase across period 2?
Because as the nuclear charge increases, the attraction between the nucleus and the electrons increases and it requires more energy to remove the outermost electron and that means there is a higher ionization energy. As you go across the periodic table, nuclear charge is the most important consideration. So, going across the periodic table, there should be an increase in ionization energy because of the increasing nuclear charge.
Where does the energy come from in nuclear reactions?
The energy in nuclear reactions comes from the splitting or combining of atomic nuclei, which releases a large amount of energy in the form of radiation and heat.
Where does most energy come from for life in earth?
Most energy comes from sun through the nuclear fusion energy.
Where does solar heat energy come from?
From the nuclear fusion reaction in the sun
Where does nuclear energy come from to make renewable energy work?
Nuclear energy is not considered a renewable energy source because it relies on the fission of uranium atoms, which is a finite resource. However, nuclear power plants can help support renewable energy sources by providing a baseload of constant power that can complement intermittent sources like wind and solar.
in the use of nuclear, where does the "power" come from?
Energy contained in bonds within a nucleus that is converted to kinetic energy.
What trend in ionization energy occurs going across a period on the periodic table and why?
Ionization energy generally increases across a period from left to right on the periodic table. This trend occurs because as you move across a period, the number of protons in the nucleus increases, resulting in a greater nuclear charge. This stronger attraction between the nucleus and the outer electrons requires more energy to remove an electron, thus increasing the ionization energy.
