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.
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.
How is a nuclear fission reaction controlled in nuclear reactor?
Reactions that involve nuclei, called nuclear reactions, result in a tremendous amount of energy. Two types are fission and fusion.
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.
Why do you think protons do not anticipate in the chemical bondings?
Protons are found inside the nucleus of an atom and requires very high energy for nuclear reactions. Chemical reactions generally involve the valence electrons.
