Is fission reaction chemical reaction?

A fission reaction is a chemical reaction wherein the atom gets split to generate energy. The most commonly used controlled form of this is in splitting Hydrogen for producing energy in nuclear reactors. It is also used in weaponry such as Hydrogen Bombs which have much greater power than in nuclear fusion reactions.


Which describes what happens during a chain reaction?

Neutrons released during a fission reaction trigger other fission reactions.

What is it called when neutrons released from a fission event cause other fission events in a continued self sustaining cascade?

This process is called a nuclear chain reaction. Neutrons released from one fission event trigger other fission events, creating a self-sustaining reaction that releases energy and more neutrons, continuing the chain reaction.


When burning a candle is there fission?

No. Burning a candle is a combustion reaction. As with all chemical reactions the energy released comes from the rearrangement of the electron clouds that form chemical bonds. The nuclei of the atoms remain unchanged.


What is bond fission?

Bond fission is a chemical process in which a chemical bond in a molecule is broken, resulting in the formation of two separate ions, radicals, or new molecules. This process can be induced by various means such as heat, light, or chemical interactions.


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


If For a sustainable fission reaction each fission must produce exactly how many additional fission reaction(s).?

To sustain a fission chain reaction, each fission reaction must result in one more fission reaction. And that one should result in one more, and so on.


Is a nuclear fission a chemical energy?

The energy released is nuclear energy.


For a sustainable fission reaction each fission must produce exactly additional fission reaction(s).?

A stable nuclear fission reaction will be sustained if every fission produces one additional fission reaction.


What have chain reactions got to do with nuclear fission?

The fission process in a nuclear reactor which produces the thermal energy used in the steam cycle, is called a chain reaction because nuclei of U-235 and Pu-239 fission on absorbing a neutron, and the fission causes further neutrons to be released, thus a self sustaining reaction is started which is controlled to run at a steady power level.


What does NOT describe a nuclear reaction?

A nuclear reaction does not involve the breaking or forming of chemical bonds between atoms. Instead, it involves changes in the nucleus of atoms, such as nuclear fission or fusion. Additionally, a nuclear reaction does not typically release energy through the rearrangement of electrons in an atom's outer shell like a chemical reaction does.
