The nuclear reaction that combines hydrogen to form helium and produces most of the sun's energy is called nuclear fusion. In this reaction, hydrogen nuclei (protons) fuse together to form helium nuclei, releasing a large amount of energy in the form of light and heat.
In a nuclear reaction, a small amount of mass is converted into energy according to Einstein's famous equation, E=mc^2. The energy released is in the form of electromagnetic radiation, such as gamma rays, and the kinetic energy of the particles produced in the reaction.
Nuclear reactions release nuclear energy, which is the energy that holds the nucleus of an atom together. This energy is released in the form of heat and radiation during processes such as fission or fusion.
The primary nuclear reaction in the sun is the fusion of hydrogen nuclei (protons) to form helium nuclei, releasing energy in the form of gamma rays and heat. This process, known as the proton-proton chain reaction, powers the sun by converting mass into energy through nuclear fusion.
The nuclear reaction in which nuclei combine to form more massive nuclei is called nuclear fusion. This process releases large amounts of energy, such as in the sun.
Yes.

Electrical energy, in the triggering and fuzing mechanisms. Chemical energy, in the form of conventional explosives used to trigger the chain reaction. Nuclear energy, in the form of fissionable or fusable nuclear materials.
Nuclear energy is either:fission reaction, orfusion reaction, orradioactive decay

No. Nor can you convert mass into energy. In any reaction - including nuclear reactions - both the amount of mass and the amount of energy remain the same, before and after the reaction. For example, the energy that escapes from a nuclear reaction also has a corresponding mass. On the other hand, the energy existed before the reaction as well, in the form of (nuclear) potential energy.
In a nuclear chain reaction, the splitting of atomic nuclei releases energy in the form of heat. This process is controlled in a nuclear reactor to generate electricity. The chain reaction is sustained by the release of neutrons from the splitting of nuclei, which then go on to split more nuclei, creating a continuous cycle of energy release.
In a nuclear fission reaction, the energy comes from the splitting of atomic nuclei.
An example of a nuclear reaction is nuclear fusion, where two light atomic nuclei combine to form a heavier nucleus, releasing a large amount of energy in the process. This reaction is the process that powers the sun and other stars.
