Energy is always conserved. You can neither create nor destroy energy. The same goes for mass. They can only be moved from one frame of reference to another. Fission has nothing to do with it. Ditto for fusion.
One area of "confusion" for many people is Einstein's mass-energy equivalence equation e = mc2. Some people think it means that mass can be converted to energy and vice versa. Nope. Not even close. Mass is energy, and energy is mass. Think about that.
What else can I help you with?
What percent of energy is used from nuclear fission?
In the US, about 20 percent of electricity
What process does nuclear energy go through?
If you're referring to nuclear energy in power generating plants, it is nuclear fission. If you're referring to the nuclear energy in our Sun, it is nuclear fusion.
Fission is used in the production of?
nuclear energy
How is nuclear energy and fusion energy different?
Nuclear energy typically refers to fission, where atoms are split to release energy. Fusion energy involves merging atoms to release energy, mimicking the process that powers the sun. Fusion has the potential to generate more energy and produce less waste compared to fission.
What form of energy does nuclear fission release?
Nuclear binding energy is released mostly as heat energy.
How is energy conserved when nuclear fission occurs?
When nuclear fission occurs, energy is conserved through the process of splitting an atom's nucleus, releasing a large amount of energy in the form of heat and radiation. This energy can be harnessed to generate electricity in nuclear power plants.
Outline on nuclear energy?
Definition: energy from nuclear fission or fusion: the energy released by nuclear fission or fusion
Is fission nuclear energy chemical energy or mechanical energy?
Nuclear fission is a type of nuclear reaction that converts nuclear energy into thermal energy (heat), which can then be used to generate mechanical energy (such as electricity). So, fission nuclear energy originates as nuclear energy and can be converted into mechanical energy.
How does nuclear fission generates energy?
The heat released by nuclear fission is transformed in electrical energy.
Which form of energy is not related to the small particles that make up an object?
Nuclear energy is not related to the small particles that make up an object. It is derived from the nucleus of an atom through processes like nuclear fission or fusion.
Is a nuclear fission a chemical energy?
The energy released is nuclear energy.
What form of energy does nuclear fission absorb energy?
Nuclear fission releases energy in the form of heat, which can be converted into electricity.
Can you convert matter into energry?
Sort of. That's a common explanation for what happens in a nuclear reaction. But technically, both matter and energy are conserved - there is no more or less matter after the reaction, than before the reaction. Therefore, in such cases there is no matter-to-energy conversion. Read the Wikipedia article on "Mass deficit" or "Binding energy" for a more detailed explanation. There's no sort of about it. The meaning of Einstein's equation (E = mc2) is that matter and energy are interconvertible, and this happens all the time. What is conserved is mass-energy. Mass and energy are not conserved separately.
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.
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
Is fission reverse energy?
No, nuclear fission is not reversible energy. It is irreversible process.
What is nuclear fission energy?
Nuclear Fission Energy is energy that is produced using fissionable elements. The most common is Uranium. Fission energy involves the fission heating water and turning a turbine, much like coal.
