What kind of energy is produced by both fission and fusion processes?
Nuclear energy is produced by both fission and fusion processes.
What are the elements produced by a fission reaction?
1. Fission products (lighter elements) 2. Energy from the loss of mass, appears initially as kinetic energy which is absorbed in the fuel bulk and transformed to thermal energy (heat) 3. Free neutrons-average 2.5 per fission 4. Gamma radiation
How much coal would have to be burned to release the same amount of energy as one kilogram of uranium that undergoes nuclear fission?
To release the same amount of energy as one kilogram of uranium undergoing nuclear fission, approximately 3.6 metric tons of coal would need to be burned. Uranium undergoes much more efficient energy release through fission compared to burning coal.
What part of a nuclear power plant that undergoes a fission reaction called?
The part of a nuclear power plant that undergoes a fission reaction is called the reactor core. This is where the nuclear fuel, such as uranium or plutonium, is housed and where the chain reaction occurs to produce heat energy.
When a nucleus with a high mass undergoes fission the resulting nuclei?
The resulting nuclei are typically two smaller nuclei, known as fission fragments, along with several neutrons and a release of energy. The fission process releases a significant amount of energy due to the conversion of mass into energy as predicted by Einstein's equation E=mc^2.
What is the form of nuclear energy?
Nuclear energy as used in power plants results from fission of uranium235 and plutonium239
Atomic energy is the energy of heat mass or fluorescence?
Atomic energy is produced when atoms of uranium235 or other fissile material split, or undergo fission. It is nothing to do with fluorescence, and I don't understand 'heat mass'
What is produced when uranium-235 undergoes fission?
When uranium-235 undergoes fission, it can produce two or more lighter nuclei, several neutrons, and a large release of energy in the form of gamma radiation and kinetic energy. This process is what powers nuclear reactors and atomic bombs.
What kind of energy is produced by both fission and fusion processes?
Nuclear energy is produced by both fission and fusion processes.
What is nuclear fission energy?
Nuclear Fission Energy is energy that is produced using fissionable elements. The most common is Uranium. Fission energy involves the fission heating water and turning a turbine, much like coal.
What are the elements produced by a fission reaction?
1. Fission products (lighter elements) 2. Energy from the loss of mass, appears initially as kinetic energy which is absorbed in the fuel bulk and transformed to thermal energy (heat) 3. Free neutrons-average 2.5 per fission 4. Gamma radiation
Did the energy that is stored in fossil fuels come from fission or fusion reactions from the sun?
Not fission. The sun's energy is produced by nuclear fusion, and that energy produced all the vegetation which turned into fossil fuel.
Nuclear energy is an alternate energy produced by?
The fission of uranium-235 nuclei
What is an alternate energy source produced from the fission of uranium atoms?
This form of energy is the nuclear energy.
How much coal would have to be burned to release the same amount of energy as one kilogram of uranium that undergoes nuclear fission?
To release the same amount of energy as one kilogram of uranium undergoing nuclear fission, approximately 3.6 metric tons of coal would need to be burned. Uranium undergoes much more efficient energy release through fission compared to burning coal.
Is nuclear energy and nuclear fuel the same thing?
No, they are not the same. Nuclear energy refers to the energy produced through nuclear reactions, while nuclear fuel is the material (such as uranium or plutonium) that undergoes fission reactions to release energy in a nuclear reactor. Nuclear fuel is used to generate nuclear energy.
What are some advantages of producing energy through fission?
Amount of energy produced is very large. This energy can be utilised.
