Is nuclear fission only used to create atomic bombs?
No, nuclear fission operates all nuclear reactors. If they are power plant reactors it is used to generate electricity.
What was the type of the nuclear core of hiroshima?
It derived its explosive power from the nuclear fission of uranium 235.
Why does the atomic bomb make an explosion?
uncontrolled nuclear fission and/or fusion.
Is it true that nuclear fusion is like a bomb?
Both fission and fusion can be used to make nuclear bombs, in fact almost every nuclear bomb in stockpile in the world today uses both fission and fusion to achieve its total yield, optimize it material efficiency, and reduce size and weight.
Do H-bombs deal with fission?
To some degree. Hydrogen bombs release energy via nuclear fusion, but they use a fission reaction to trigger the fusion.
The discovery of the principle of nuclear fission led to the production of the atomic bomb and the construction of nuclear power plant?
Yes, I think that can be said
Where do you get nuclear fission?
You get nuclear fission in:nuclear fission reactorsatomic fission bombs
What did Otto Hahn invent?
He wasn't an inventor, he was a chemist. He is most famous for his discovery of nuclear fission.
What is the splitting of an atoms nucleus into two smaller nuclei is called?
nuclear fission
A nuclear reaction in which an atoms nucleus is split into two smaller nuclei and energy is released as heat is known as?
nuclear fission
What is Lise Meitner famous for?
Lise Meitner was a pioneering physicist who, along with Otto Hahn, discovered nuclear fission of uranium. Despite not being awarded the Nobel Prize for this significant discovery, her work paved the way for the development of nuclear energy and weapons. She is remembered as one of the most influential female scientists in history.
Why was the descovary that heavy elements undergo fission so important?
The discovery that heavy elements undergo fission was important because it revolutionized nuclear physics and energy production. It led to the development of nuclear reactors and weapons, fundamentally changing our understanding of atomic structure and the potential applications of nuclear energy.
The splitting of a heavy nucleus is called?
The splitting of a heavy nucleus is called nuclear fission. This process releases a large amount of energy and is the principle behind nuclear power plants and nuclear weapons.
What is splitting of atomic nuclei?
Splitting of atomic nuclei, also known as nuclear fission, is a nuclear reaction in which the nucleus of an atom is split into smaller parts. This process releases a significant amount of energy in the form of heat and radiation. Nuclear fission is used in nuclear power plants and nuclear weapons.
What term is use to describe splitting a large atomic nucleus into smaller ones?
Nuclear fission is defined as splitting large nuclei into smaller ones.
What is it called when nuclear fission is repeated?
It is called nuclear chain fission reaction.
Why is it called Nuclear Fission?
It is called nuclear fission as in this process the heavy nuclei are split into fragments (or fission products).
