Yes, newly generated kinetic energy is indeed a product of nuclear fission reactions. During fission, the nucleus of a heavy atom splits into smaller nuclei, releasing a significant amount of energy in the form of kinetic energy of the fission fragments and neutrons. This energy release is a result of the conversion of mass into energy, as described by Einstein's equation (E=mc^2). Additionally, this kinetic energy contributes to the overall energy output of nuclear reactors.

A nuclear fission reaction occurs when a U-235 nucleus is bombarded by a neutron the products are xe 143 3 neutrons and a strontium isotope?

In a nuclear fission reaction, a U-235 nucleus absorbs a neutron and undergoes fission into smaller nuclei such as Xe-143, Sr, and several neutrons. This process releases a large amount of energy and additional neutrons, which can initiate a chain reaction in a nuclear reactor.


What is fission product?

Fission products are the fragments resulting from the fission of heavy nuclids during nuclear fission process


What is the chemical equation for the nuclear reactions that take place in Nuclear Reactors?

It is a set of nuclear equations, not chemical equations. No there are too many of them to write, however they can be summarized by the equation:U235 + n --> light fission product + heavy fission product + x nWhere x varies from 2 to 5 or 6.The mass of the light fission product varies from about 70 to about 115.The mass of the heavy fission product varies from about 115 to about 160.


What is the difference between a thermodynamic product and a kinetic product in a chemical reaction?

In a chemical reaction, a thermodynamic product is the most stable product formed at the end of the reaction, while a kinetic product is formed faster but may not be as stable as the thermodynamic product in the long run.


What is the difference between the thermo vs kinetic product in a chemical reaction?

In a chemical reaction, the thermodynamic product is the most stable product, while the kinetic product is the product that forms the fastest. The difference lies in the energy levels and reaction rates of the products.


Is radiant energy of sun is due to nuclear fission?

No. It's the product of nuclear fusionin the sun's core.


What is the chemical equation for nuclear fission?

It is not a chemical reaction! You can write U-235, with atomic number 92, plus a neutron, produces two fission product nuclei (which can be various combinations) plus two or three free neutrons. The limitations of notation on this site does not allow to show this properly. If you look up nuclear fission in Wikipedia you will see how such a reaction is written.


Is neutron particle is required both to start and as a product in a fissin reaction?

Neutrons are required to start a fission reaction as they can initiate the splitting of uranium or plutonium atoms. In the process, additional neutrons are released which can go on to trigger more fission events. So, while neutrons are necessary to begin a fission reaction, they are not typically produced as a product of the reaction.


What is the difference between the thermodynamic and kinetic products in a chemical reaction?

In a chemical reaction, the thermodynamic product is the most stable product formed under specific conditions, while the kinetic product is the product formed faster but may not be the most stable.


Which nuclear reaction uses the least expensive materials and produce the least amount of radioactive by-product?

You would probably be talking about nuclear fusion, but it is not available for use and probably won't be for another 50 years, so it's an academic matter. For useful power, fission reactors are the only technology we have, and they all use uranium and produce similar amounts of fission products
