Would you be likely to have nuclear weapons that utilize the procss of uclear fission or nuclear fusion?

both


Nuclide that have a high binding energy per nucleon are more?

Stable. The highest binding energy is for iron and nickel, which are the least likely to undergo fission or fusion reactions


What element is most likely to be produced during a nuclear fusion reaction?

helium-4


What happens if a fusion bomb if it crashes into nuclear bomb?

I do not understand what you are asking because of a definition problem. A nuclear bomb can be either a fission or fusion bomb. Also a physical crash of nuclear devices is most likely to simply detonate their conventional explosives regardless of whether they are fission or fusion (although modern low shock sensitivity explosives make this less likely than it was).


What type of nuclei would most likely undergo fusion?

Hydrogen and oxygen. On the sun two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom are fused at the core which keeps the suns light going and giving it more energy. The result of this is water. H2( hydrogen 2 ) O( oxygen ) h2o


The sun's energy is most likely the result of?

The Sun gets its energy from nuclear fusion.The Sun gets its energy from nuclear fusion.The Sun gets its energy from nuclear fusion.The Sun gets its energy from nuclear fusion.


Are there any nulear fusion facilities in the US?

No, nor anywhere else on earth. Nuclear fusion is beyond our capabilities at the moment and is likely to be for several decades to come.


What is the major problem with fusion reactions as an energy source?

Problem on nuclear fusion is upon confinement of reaction in earth atmosphere. Nuclear fusion required very high temperature to initiate the reaction. Sustaining reaction is not easy. It is likely the earliest nuclear fusion will be available commercially by 2050. It is a little far future for the current energy crisis would reach it peak around 2040.


What are the technical problems related to nuclear fusion?

Nuclear fusion requires very high temperatures and immense pressures to start and continue. The problems with a nuclear fusion reactor would be:- 1) the high temperatures would melt the container: therefore, the reaction would have to be stored in a vacuum suspended by a magnetic field and the reactor would have to be continually cooled. 2) nuclear fusion occurs naturally in stars such as our sun: unless the fusion reaction was limited in size in some way, it would be likely that our planet is vapourised by the reaction.


Why the earth is not in thermal equlibrium with the sun?

Most likely because the Sun is constantly performing nuclear fusion, while Earth is not.


What does a atom look like after nuclear fusion?

The most likely form of fusion to be successful on earth will be to produce helium from hydrogen isotopes. Helium has two protons and two neutrons in its nucleus.


Is an isotope formed in a nuclear reaction likely to be radioactive?

Not necessarily. The fusion reactions in the sun produce primarily helium-4 which is stable.
