Why a fission reaction is neccasary for fusion reaction?
It isn't, in general. Thermonuclear bombs use a fission bomb to generate the heat and pressure required to start the fusion process, but there are other ways of doing it (stars do so by gravity, for instance).
Are nuclear bombs made with nuclear fusion?
Nuclear bombs can use either nuclear fission or nuclear fusion as the primary mechanism of energy release. Most nuclear bombs in current arsenals rely on nuclear fission reactions, while thermonuclear bombs use a fission reaction to trigger a fusion reaction.
How is fusion used in a hydrogen bomb?
a hydrogen bomb is a fusion bomb. even though in standard types of hydrogen bombs 90% of the yield is fission, caused by uranium-238 fission by 15 MeV neutrons from the fusion reaction.
Detonation of a fusion type hydrogen bomb is started by?
Detonation of a fusion hydrogen bomb is initiated by the primary fission bomb, which generates high temperatures and pressures needed to trigger fusion reactions in the hydrogen isotopes. The fission bomb compresses and heats the fusion fuel to the point where nuclear fusion reactions can occur, releasing vastly more energy than the fission reaction alone.
Was Fat Man a Fusion or Fission reaction?
Fat Man was a fission bomb, meaning that it relied on the splitting (fission) of heavy nuclei like uranium-235 to release energy.
Is reaction on sun a fusion or fission?
fission..sup
What is the opposite reaction to fusion?
fission
What are two types of reaction?
Fission and fusion
How a fusion reactor would be similar to a fission reactor?
explain how a fusion reactor would be similar to a fission reaction
Can fusion take place in the nucleus of a uranium atom?
Not fusion, but a fission reaction.
Atomic bombs are the result of what nuclear reaction?
fission and/or fusion
What kind of reaction can change an element into another?
Fusion or fission.
What type of reaction supplies the most energy?
fusion nuclear reaction followed by fission nuclear reaction
The opposite reaction to fusion is called?
Fission is the opposite reaction to fusion. Fission involves the splitting of a heavy atomic nucleus into lighter elements, releasing a large amount of energy in the process.
Do H-bombs deal with fission?
To some degree. Hydrogen bombs release energy via nuclear fusion, but they use a fission reaction to trigger the fusion.
Is nuclear energy a fission or fusion reaction?
Nuclear energy is either:fission reaction, orfusion reaction, orradioactive decay
Why a fission reaction is neccasary for fusion reaction?
It isn't, in general. Thermonuclear bombs use a fission bomb to generate the heat and pressure required to start the fusion process, but there are other ways of doing it (stars do so by gravity, for instance).
