Why is Nuclear Energy Every where?

Nuclear energy comes from the binding energy released when we change the state of atoms. Binding energy holds the universe together and it is present in every atom.


The energy released when neutrons and protons combine to form a nucleus is known as the?

The energy released when neutrons and protons combine to form a nucleus is known as nuclear binding energy. This energy is a result of the strong nuclear force that holds the nucleus together.


When a nuclear fission reaction occurs an enormous amount of energy is released This energy comes from?

The release of excess binding energy.


What does the binding energy per nucleon graph reveal about the stability and energy release in nuclear reactions?

The binding energy per nucleon graph shows that the higher the binding energy per nucleon, the more stable the nucleus is. In nuclear reactions, energy is released when the reactants form products with higher binding energy per nucleon, indicating a more stable configuration.


What is nuclear and nucleus binding energy?

Nuclear or nucleus binding energy are one and the same. IT is the force which is holding the nucleons together (protons and neutrons). Higher the binding energy , higher the stability of the nucleus.


What form of energy does nuclear fission release?

Nuclear binding energy is released mostly as heat energy.


What is the nuclear binding energy for thorium 234?

The nuclear binding energy for thorium-234 is approximately 8.5 million electron volts (MeV).


What energy nuclear bomb change?

Nuclear binding energy to thermal energy to blast shock wave energy.


Were do you get nuclear energy?

You get nuclear energy from the binding energy (Strong Atomic Force) that holds the nucleus together.


What element has the greatest nuclear binding energy per nuclear particle?

Iron has the greatest nuclear binding energy per nuclear particle, making it the most stable nucleus. This is because iron's nucleus is at the peak of the binding energy curve, representing the most tightly bound nucleus per nucleon.


This is also known as atomic energy?

The source of atomic energy is the "binding energy" that exists in the nucleus of all atoms. This is the energy that is contained in the union of the protons and neutrons of the nucleus. When the nucleus is split apart, the binding energy is released.
