Nuclear fusion is a nuclear reaction, but so is fission. So not all nuclear reactions are fission.
Law of conservation of mass: total mass of Reactants AND Products stays UNCHANGED during ANY reaction (except nuclear reactions like fusions)
Reduction reactions involve the gain of electrons by a molecule or atom. Displacement reactions involve the exchange of ions between two compounds. While reduction reactions can be involved in displacement reactions, they are not the same thing.
Nuclear technologies produce enormous amounts of energy through a process called nuclear fission, where the nucleus of an atom is split to release large amounts of heat. This heat is then used to generate steam, which drives turbines connected to generators that produce electricity. The energy released in nuclear reactions is much greater than in chemical reactions, leading to the large amounts of energy produced by nuclear power plants.
No, nuclear activity is not a characteristic of living things. Nuclear activity refers to processes that involve changes in the nucleus of an atom, such as radioactive decay or nuclear reactions, which are not exclusive to living organisms. Living things do not exhibit nuclear activity in the same context as atoms or nuclear reactors.
Identical nuclei refer to two or more nuclei that have the same number of protons and neutrons. They have the same mass number and atomic number, indicating that they belong to the same element. Identical nuclei have the same nuclear properties and behave similarly in nuclear reactions and processes.
No, they are not the same. Nuclear energy refers to the energy produced through nuclear reactions, while nuclear fuel is the material (such as uranium or plutonium) that undergoes fission reactions to release energy in a nuclear reactor. Nuclear fuel is used to generate nuclear energy.
Nuclear energy comes from reactions within the nucleus of an atom, while heat energy refers to the transfer of thermal energy. While nuclear reactions can produce heat energy, they are not the same thing. Nuclear energy is a specific type of energy, while heat energy is a form of energy transfer.
No, they are not the same thing. An atomic bomb is a type of nuclear weapon that releases a large amount of energy through nuclear fission or fusion reactions. A nuclear missile, on the other hand, is a missile system that is capable of delivering a nuclear warhead to a target.

A nuclear bomb and an atomic bomb are actually the same thing. Both terms refer to a type of explosive device that releases energy by nuclear reactions. The power of the explosion depends on the type of nuclear reactions involved and the amount of fissile material present in the bomb.
No, they're not the same thing. Contraindications are basically warnings and will most likely LEAD to adverse reactions.
Nuclear fusion reactions can generate the most energy compared to other types of nuclear reactions. Fusion involves combining light nuclei to form heavier nuclei, releasing large amounts of energy in the process. This is the same process that powers the sun and other stars.
Reduction reactions involve the gain of electrons by a molecule or atom. Displacement reactions involve the exchange of ions between two compounds. While reduction reactions can be involved in displacement reactions, they are not the same thing.
Nuclear energy is released when U-235 undergoes fission, and that takes place in nuclear reactors (or nuclear weapons). So a reactor is a thing constructed to produce nuclear energy.
Nuclear power and atomic power refer to the same thing, which is the generation of electricity through nuclear reactions. The terms are often used interchangeably to describe the process of producing energy from splitting atoms in a controlled manner.
EMP is caused by nuclear weapons.
Yes, it generally is but a nuclear plant could refer to nuclear reactors which are basically the things that produce the power. So in essence, yes, a nuclear plant is the same thing as a nuclear power station
