No, it is nothing to do with chemical reactions

∙ 12y agoNot necessarily. Beta particles emitted from beta- decay are electrons (ignoring the electron antineutrino that is also present) and, as such, have negative charge. However, beta particles emitted from beta+ decay are positrons or anti-electrons (again, ignoring the electron neutrino that is also present) and, as such, have positive charge.

∙ 12y agoNo. This is a common misunderstanding. Mass can be neither created nor destroyed, and the same goes for energy. The two can only be moved from one frame of reference to another. Einstein's mass-equivalence equation e=mc2 does not say that mass can be converted into energy and vice versa, it says that mass isenergy and vice versa.
So, when nuclear reactions occur, binding energy is released and so is mass. A small amount of mass is "lost" but, in reality, that mass is carried away with the energy.

∙ 13y agoAlthough none of them are considered electromagnetic radiation, any acceleration of charge will produce some level of EM radiation. Neutron radiation won't because it carries no charge. Alpha and beta radiation themselves are NOT considered EM radiation themselves but will emit it if they are stopped suddenly like when they run into something and emit some when they are first formed. This can be from low frequency radio waves to gamma rays. This is why substances which emit these forms of radiation are called "radio active".

∙ 8y agoThe reactions, fission and fusion, are not themselves forms of electromagnetic radiation. However the energy they subsequently produce are forms of such radiation. Light, heat, gamma, x rays etc.
Wiki User
∙ 15y agoNo. Beta particles are high energy electrons or positrons emitted in radioactive decay events, they are not "photons", the particle analog of electromagnetic energy.
Wiki User

What is the difference between nuclear energy and light energy?
Light is electromagnetic energy. Nuclear energy is energy derived from nuclear reactions, and the nuclear reactions could be either fusion or fission reactions. As regards the energy that appears from nuclear reactions, it can take different forms, including the form of electromagnetic energy.
Which form of energy is most preferred and why?
If we are able control the fusion reactions then nuclear energy is the most preffered form of energy otherwise solar energy is prefferable.
What type of energy does a tree have?
The tree gets electromagnetic energy from the sun. It comes in the form of sunlight, and this causes chemical reactions in the leaves of the tree to make chemical energy.
Is water a form of electromagnetic energy?
Water is matter. Electromagnetic energy is energy in the form of electric fields and magnetic fields.
What is the product of nuclear fusion in the sun?
In the core of the Sun (and other stars) protons (hydrogen nuclei) combine to produce Helium nuclei (alpha particles). In the process, positrons, neutrinos and gamma rays are produced. There are several nuclear reactions that form the steps that go from protons to helium nuclei and the steps impart significant kinetic energy to the products of the reactions. The products of hydrogen fusion are helium, neutrinos, electromagnetic radiation and heat energy.

What is released during nuclear reactions?
Energy (in the form of heat), also free neutrons.Binding energy
Nuclear fusion releases energy in the form of?
Various wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation.
Why does the sun shine?
The sun shines because the fusion reactions taking place there release a tremendous amount of energy. And light, which is electromagnetic energy, is released in great quantities. The brightness of the sun speaks to the amount of power it generates.
Which form of energy is most preferred and why?
If we are able control the fusion reactions then nuclear energy is the most preffered form of energy otherwise solar energy is prefferable.
What is a form of electromagnetic energy?
Light is a form of electromagnetic energy.
Why light cant occupy space?
Light is a form of energy caused by nuclear reactions from the sun.
Does the Sun have radioactive energy?
Yes. The Sun is powered by the process of Nuclear Fusion and it does output radioactive energy, mainly in the form of electromagnetic radiation.
What type of energy does a tree have?
The tree gets electromagnetic energy from the sun. It comes in the form of sunlight, and this causes chemical reactions in the leaves of the tree to make chemical energy.

Does the sun's energy come from electromagnetic energy?
The sun's energy comes from the nuclear fusion taking place in its core in which two hydrogen atoms combine to form one helium atom.
