What is the source of energy in nuclear reactor?
The source of energy in a nuclear reactor is the release of binding energy, i.e. the binding energy that hold protons and neutrons together in the nucleus of the atom. Heavy nuclides, such as uranium, are split into lighter nuclides, such as cesium and barium (and many others, in a semi-random cross section). The binding energy required to hold the original uranium together is less than the daughter products and is released to the system in the form of heat and other radiation.
How is nuclear energy lost?
Nuclear energy can be lost through various processes such as heat dissipation, waste heat conduction, and mechanical energy losses in power plants. Additionally, energy can be lost through inefficiencies in the generation and transmission of electricity.
What is the prefix for heavy?
The prefix for "heavy" is "over-".
What is the antonym for heavy?
The antonym for heavy is light.
What do heavy nuclei emit when they decay?
Heavy nuclei typically emit alpha particles (composed of two protons and two neutrons) or beta particles (electrons or positrons) during decay as they seek to become more stable by reaching a more balanced ratio of protons and neutrons.
Which type of nuclei energy to be absorbed during nuclear fusion?
Heavy nuclides, greater than iron or nickel, have a negative mass-energy deficit, meaning that it takes more energy to fuse them than would be released by such fusion. That is why only light nuclides, such as hydrogen are realistic candidates for fusion.
Do nuclides contain electrons?
No
Which series consist of radioactive nuclides produced by successive radioactive decay until a stable nuclides is reached?
Decay series
Are all nuclides radioactive?
yes
What is the symbol for the nuclides for uranium-238?
23892U
Are all nuclides are radioactive?
No. Some are stable.
What is the Term for elements which have same number of neutron?
Isotones, isotonic nuclides
Which nuclides is radioisotope used in the study of organic reaction mechanism?
Carbon-14
Why do unstable nuclides undergo nuclear reactions?
Unstable nuclides undergo nuclear reactions in order to become more stable. These reactions involve the nucleus gaining or losing subatomic particles in an attempt to achieve a more favorable balance of protons and neutrons. By undergoing nuclear reactions, unstable nuclides can transform into more stable isotopes with lower energy states.
Do all elements have half life's?
Yes. From a technical point of view, all elements have isotopes (nuclides) that are radioactive and therefore have half-lives. But the majority of these are artificial - man made, and do not occur in nature on Earth. Even hydrogen has nuclides of deuterium and tritium, deuterium is stable and natural, and tritium has a half life of 12.33 years. Having said that, there are a number of nuclides that are stable and occur naturally.
If nuclides with the same atomic number but different mass number are called?
Isotopes
Are the nuclides that lie above the the band of stability proton rich?
No they're neutron rich.
