What is it called when nuclear fission is repeated?

It is called nuclear chain fission reaction.


An ongoing series of fission reactions is called a (n) .?

Fission and fusion reactions are chain reactions but in different ways. In fission reaction a heavy nuclei is bombarded with a slow moving neutron and this nuclei breaks to produce more such neurons along with generation of new elements. These slow moving neutrons are further used to carry out fission of more such nuclei. This is chain reaction. Fusion reaction are a different class of nuclear reaction in which small nuclei fuse together to produce bigger nuclei along with the generation of energy due to mass defect.. In fusion reaction lot of energy is produced and this energy is used to carry out further reaction. Thus both can be called series reaction.


Does fusion reaction occur in an atomic bomb?

Yes, fusion reactions occur in a hydrogen bomb, which is a type of nuclear bomb. The high temperatures and pressures generated by the fission reaction in the bomb can trigger fusion reactions between hydrogen isotopes. This fusion reaction releases a large amount of energy, contributing to the destructive power of the bomb.


Does the nuclear fusion occurs at the surface of the sun?

Fusion takes place in the core, where the temperature and pressure are much higher, which is necessary for fusion.


What particle is used to start nuclear fission?

In actuality, a spontaneous fission event begins a nuclear chain reaction. It kick starts a nuclear chain reaction. And a neutron from that fission will initiate another fission to continue and rev up that nuclear chain reaction.

What is a type of nuclear reaction produced in the sun?

The primary nuclear reaction in the sun is the fusion of hydrogen nuclei (protons) to form helium nuclei, releasing energy in the form of gamma rays and heat. This process, known as the proton-proton chain reaction, powers the sun by converting mass into energy through nuclear fusion.

What starts the nuclear chain reaction in a nuclear reactor?

The nuclear chain reaction in a nuclear reactor is started by the splitting of uranium atoms, a process known as nuclear fission.
