One type of atom (element or isotope) is converted to another. This is called nuclear reaction.
Nuclear energy is produced by both fission and fusion processes.
Nuclear energy is stored in the nuclei of atoms. This energy is released through processes such as nuclear fission or fusion that involve breaking apart or combining atomic nuclei, respectively.
The nucleus of an atom can store potential energy, which is released when nuclear reactions occur, such as fission or fusion. This energy is harnessed in nuclear power plants or in nuclear weapons.
Nuclear energy is the type of energy stored in the nucleus of an atom. This energy can be released through processes such as nuclear fission and fusion, which convert small amounts of mass into large amounts of energy.
Nuclear fusion reactions release energy in the form of high-energy photons (gamma radiation) and kinetic energy of the reaction products. In nuclear fission reactions, energy is given off in the form of gamma radiation, kinetic energy of the fission fragments, and in some cases, neutrons.
Nuclear energy.
Nuclear energy is produced by both fission and fusion processes.
Fusion or fission.
The nuclear reaction that occurs in the sun is fusion. This process involves the fusing of hydrogen atoms to form helium, releasing a large amount of energy in the form of light and heat. Fusion is the main source of energy for the sun and other stars.
Nuclear energy is stored in the nuclei of atoms. This energy is released through processes such as nuclear fission or fusion that involve breaking apart or combining atomic nuclei, respectively.
The nucleus of an atom can store potential energy, which is released when nuclear reactions occur, such as fission or fusion. This energy is harnessed in nuclear power plants or in nuclear weapons.
Oxygen undergoes fusion reactions in the cores of massive stars, where it can fuse into heavier elements. Oxygen does not undergo fission reactions naturally.
Conventional explosivesNuclear explosives (both fission and fusion)
An atomic bomb uses a nuclear fission reaction. This involves splitting the nucleus of a heavy atom, such as uranium or plutonium, into smaller nuclei, releasing a large amount of energy in the process.
