What products are given off during a typical nuclear fission reaction?
During a nuclear fission reaction, products such as two or more lighter nuclei, neutrons, gamma rays, and energy are given off. These products can vary depending on the specific isotopes involved in the reaction.
What kind of energy is given off from a nuclear fusion reaction and from a nuclear fission reaction?
the "disappearance" of a small amount of mass. Most of the energy from nuclear fusion of deuterium and tritium, which is the most likely reaction to be harnessed by man, is given off as kinetic energy of the neutrons formed. This is one of the problems involved-how to make use of this energy, even when the plasma can be contained and made to fuse, which has only been achieved for brief bursts so far. The neutrons will have to be stopped in some material surrounding the plasma to produce heat, but what material will stand up to these conditions is not clear. In nuclear fission most of the energy appears first as kinetic energy of the fission fragments, which are then stopped in the fuel resulting in heat being generated which can be removed by the coolant, water or gas. There is also some gamma ray energy released.
What is induced nuclear fission?
We might think of induced nuclear fission as a fission reaction that occurs when a neutron is captured by, say, a uranium-235 atom and that atomic nucleus undergoes fission as a result. Most all of the fission events within a nuclear reactor or nuclear weapon are induced. Given this, we might then compare that fission event to a spontaneous fission event wherein the atomic nucleus of a uranium-235 atom spontaneously undergoes fission without having captured a neutron.
What happens to energy when nuclear fission or fusion occurs?
Energy is released during nuclear fission or fusion. The mass deficit (apparent loss of mass resulting from the reaction) is represented by a related (e = mc2) release of energy. Note, however, that neither mass nor energy is created or destroyed - it is simply moved from one frame of reference to another.
Does fusion and fission began with uranium?
No... Nuclear energy can be produced either by the fusion of 2 lighter nuclei or the fission of a heavier nucleus into 2 aprox equal nuclei by mass. Since Uranium has a very heavy nucleus, it can only undergo fission and not fusion. For generating energy through fusion, Hydrogen nuclei were the first to be used and are primarily preferred since hydrogen has a very light nucleus. Hydrogen fusion is what is the source of energy of the Sun and thus, the origin of the notion of nuclear fusion. The amount of energy produced by any nuclear reaction is given by Einsteins famous mass-energy relation - E=mc2 where c is the speed of light and m is the mass disappeared after the reaction.. NAMAN

What kind of energy is given off from nuclear fusion reaction and from a nuclear fission reaction?
Nuclear fusion reactions release energy in the form of high-energy photons (gamma radiation) and kinetic energy of the reaction products. In nuclear fission reactions, energy is given off in the form of gamma radiation, kinetic energy of the fission fragments, and in some cases, neutrons.
What is nuclear powerd by?
Nuclear is a name given to a type of energy, these types of energy are fission and fusion.
Why fusion reaction are more energetic than fission reactions?
Nuclear fission does not produce more energy than nuclear fusion. In nuclear fusion (6.4 MeV) per nucleon is given out which is much greater than the energy given out per nucleon (1 MeV) during a nuclear fission reaction.
This process is called nuclear fission This reaction is the basis of nuclear power stations as well as the nuclear bomb With the aid of a diagram briefly explain this fission reaction?

In nuclear fission how does the loss in mass affect the amount of energy given off?
They are directly related through equation E = mc2. In each fission the nucleus loses a little mass and releases an equivalent amount of energy.
