What element has the greatest nuclear binding energy per nuclear particle?
We know that nickel-62 has the highest nuclear binding energy per nucleon of any element.
Elements that contain low binding energies in the nucleus are likely to release stored energy through?
Light atoms are having low binding energy per nucleon. It may give energy through nuclear fusion.
How is nuclear binding energy released?
Through either fusion of light elements or fission of heavy ones
Is the binding energy the same for all nuclei?
No. Binding energy differs from element to element,
Can binding energy be negative?
yes binding energy always negative
Do atoms with the greatest mass have the greatest binding energies?
No. The maxiumum binding energy is of Iron nucleus (A=56) after which the binding energy starts decreasing.
What element has the greatest nuclear binding energy per nuclear particle?
We know that nickel-62 has the highest nuclear binding energy per nucleon of any element.
Elements that contain high binding energies in the nucleus are likely to release stored energy through?
Nuclear fission process , ex.nuclear based power plant
Elements that contain low binding energies in the nucleus are likely to release stored energy through?
Light atoms are having low binding energy per nucleon. It may give energy through nuclear fusion.
What is a quark binding particle?
gluon
Can a hydrogen nuclear fission reaction restart the hydrogen fusion reaction?
No, hydrogen does not fission. Fission only occurs in heavy elements that are well past the peak in binding energy per nucleon (where binding energy per nucleon is decreasing), and fusion can only occur in light elements which are in the portion of the binding energy curve where binding energy per nucleon is increasing. When you fission a heavy element or fuse light elements, the product nuclei have higher binding energies per nucleon than the original element. This is where the energy release comes from. Check out the Wikipedia article on nuclear binding energy.
Why does iron not yield energy if fused with something else?
Because iron has very little binding energy, to get it to fuse you must add binding energy. This takes a supernova explosion or a powerful particle accelerator. Elements lighter than iron have excess binding energy that can be releases by fusion, but not iron (or any heavier element).
Why do you need electricity to make aluminim and titanium?
This is related to the chemical binding energy between the aluminum and other elements with which it is combined.This is related to the chemical binding energy between the aluminum and other elements with which it is combined.This is related to the chemical binding energy between the aluminum and other elements with which it is combined.This is related to the chemical binding energy between the aluminum and other elements with which it is combined.
What is fission in physics?
In physics, fission is the process in which a heavy, unstable element is split into two lighter elements by bombarding it with a small particle. Some of the energy that was binding the element's nucleus together is then released, along with a third, tiny particle that is released as well. The tiny particle then collides with another of the heavy elements, causing it to split as well, emitting another particle which collides with another heavy element, and so on. This is the chain reaction that allows for sustainable nuclear power generation, in which the reaction is controlled, or the detonation of nuclear weapons, in which the reaction is uncontrolled.
What is atomic power?
It is the release of the binding force (strong force) by combining light elements OR splitting heavy elements. (Iron is the "ash"; least binding force per nucleon.)
Why there is unusual behavior in binding energies of transition element?
due to having metallic and covalent bonds between unpaired electrons in transition metals
The source of fuel for fission reactors is?
"Binding energy." Absorption of neutrons by heavy elements, and fission of those heavy elements into lighter "fragments". The "lighter fragements" have a greater net binding energy than the heavier elements did.
