What percent of energy is used from nuclear fission?

In the US, about 20 percent of electricity


When an unstable isotope produces a particle and energy it can change the number of protons in the nucleus. This creates?

nuclei of a different element due to the change in the number of protons. This process is known as nuclear transmutation.


How nuclear technologies produce enermouse amount of energy?

Nuclear technologies produce enormous amounts of energy through a process called nuclear fission, where the nucleus of an atom is split to release large amounts of heat. This heat is then used to generate steam, which drives turbines connected to generators that produce electricity. The energy released in nuclear reactions is much greater than in chemical reactions, leading to the large amounts of energy produced by nuclear power plants.


Is nuclear fusion in the sun wind energy?

No, nuclear fusion in the sun is not wind energy. Wind energy is generated from the kinetic energy of moving air masses, while nuclear fusion in the sun is the process by which the sun produces energy through the fusion of hydrogen atoms into helium.


Uranium-235 is bombarded with neutrons and splits into smaller nuclei and produces a great amount of energy?

This process is known as nuclear fission and is the basis for nuclear power plants and nuclear weapons. The energy released during this process is harnessed to generate electricity in nuclear power plants. This reaction also produces additional neutrons that can sustain a chain reaction, leading to a continuous release of energy.

What elements have relatively small nuclear binding energy per nuclear particle?

Elements with relatively small nuclear binding energy per nuclear particle include elements with high atomic number (e.g. transuranium elements) and elements with unstable isotopes. These elements require more energy to hold their nucleus together, resulting in smaller binding energy per nuclear particle.


What kind of energy is produced when particle of metal are split into two?

Nuclear energy is released when uranium or plutonium nuclei are fissioned (split). Not clear what you mean by "particle", but nuclear energy only comes from a nuclear process, not a mechanical or chemical one.


This nuclear energy is pure energy not made of any particle?

Gamma radiation


What else produces energy instead of coal?

Sun, nuclear fuels, oil, gas, wind, waves, rivers, animals, bio fuels.


What are benifets of nuclear energy?

It is very inexpensive and supplies huge amounts of energy but produces nuclear waste.


Does the nuclear power include oil?

No. Nuclear power uses nuclear energy instead of oil energy.


What type of energy produces radioactive waste?

nuclear


What is a disadvantage of a nuclear energy?

it produces dangerous waste


How do you use nuclear energy in a sentence?

Nuclear energy is obtained by the fissioning of nuclei of uranium235, in a controlled chain reaction in a nuclear reactor, which produces heat that can be converted to electricity by normal power plant methods.
