What nuclear reactions are associated with radioactive decay?
weak force
What is nuclear chemistry?
Nuclear chemistry is the branch of chemistry that studies the chemical and physical properties of elements as influenced by changes in the structure of atomic nuclei. It involves processes such as radioactive decay, nuclear reactions, and the use of radioactive isotopes in various applications such as medicine, industry, and research.
Is released during chemical reactions and is released during nuclear reactions?
Energy is released during both chemical and nuclear reactions, but the mechanisms and amounts differ significantly. In chemical reactions, energy is typically released or absorbed through the breaking and forming of chemical bonds. In contrast, nuclear reactions release energy due to changes in the nucleus of atoms, often involving the conversion of mass to energy as described by Einstein's equation, E=mc². Nuclear reactions generally release much more energy than chemical reactions.
What is mass defect associated with?
Mass defect is associated with nuclear reactions and nuclear binding energy. It refers to the difference between the measured mass of an atomic nucleus and the sum of the masses of its individual protons and neutrons. This difference is released as energy when the nucleus is formed.
What is controlled nuclear reactions?
A controlled nuclear reaction is one in which the average number of reactions per second does not increase.
What nuclear reactions are associated with radioactive decay?
weak force
What is the difference between the nuclear reactions in a nuclear reactor and those in an atomic bomb?
Nuclear reactions in a nuclear reactor are controlled reactions. The reactions in the atomic bomb are not controlled reactions

Is plutonium easy to find?
In the nature uranium is found associated with uranium ores but in extremely ultratraces. Plutonium is obtained in industrial quantities, by nuclear reactions, in nuclear reactors.

Can nuclear reactions create new molecules?
We don't generally think of nuclear reactions creating new molecules. A nuclear reaction is a reaction involving the nucleus of an atom (in the case of fission) or atoms (in the case of fusion). The manipulation or creation of new molecules is usually left in the domain of the science of chemistry, and not nuclear physics.
What are the type of nuclear reactions?
nuclear fission and nuclear fusion
What is the Study of gaseous elements and nuclear reactions occurring as stars emit light?
nuclear reactions
Reactions involving the particles in the nucleus of an atom are called what?
Nuclear Fusion. This process involves 'fusing' together two smaller nuclei to form a bigger nucleus.
What is the difference between the nuclear reactions taking place in the sun and the nuclear reactions taking place in a nuclear reactor?
The sun's nuclear reactions are fusion reactions at extremely high temperatures and pressures, while the nuclear reactor's nuclear reactions are fission reactions at typical temperatures and pressures for earth.
Nuclear reactions at very high temperature is known as?
Nuclear reactions at very high temperatures are known as thermonuclear reactions. These reactions involve the fusion of atomic nuclei, typically hydrogen isotopes, and release large amounts of energy. Thermonuclear reactions are responsible for the energy production in stars like our sun.
