A nuclear reaction involves the changing of atomic nuclei through processes such as fusion or fission. These reactions release or absorb large amounts of energy. The principle behind nuclear reactions is based on the conversion of mass into energy, as described by Einstein's famous equation E=mc^2.
What else can I help you with?
What is the continuous bombardment and splitting of a atomic nuclei?
That process is called nuclear fission, where a heavy atomic nucleus splits into two or more smaller nuclei, releasing a large amount of energy in the process. This is the principle behind nuclear power plants and nuclear weapons.
What happens to matter when it is converted in a nuclear reaction?
In a nuclear reaction, matter is converted into energy.
What starts the nuclear chain reaction in a nuclear reactor?
The nuclear chain reaction in a nuclear reactor is started by the splitting of uranium atoms, a process known as nuclear fission.
What reaction will release the greatest amount of energy?
A nuclear reaction, such as nuclear fission or fusion, can release the greatest amount of energy compared to other types of reactions like chemical reactions. Nuclear reactions involve the breaking or joining of atomic nuclei, which release huge amounts of energy as a result of the mass-energy equivalence principle (E=mc^2).
Is energy conserved in a nuclear reaction?
Yes. Basically, energy is ALWAYS conserved. The popular saying, that in a nuclear reaction mass is converted to energy, is plainly wrong, since both mass and energy are conserved. Read about "mass deficit", for example in the Wikipedia, for more details.
Explain the working principle of a nuclear reactor?
Nuclear fission is the working principle under which the nuclear reactors operate.
State wether a nuclear fusion is a chemical reaction or a nuclear reaction?
Nuclear
How do you say nuclear reaction in German?
nuclear reaction= Kernreaktion
Is fusion a type of chemical reaction?
False
What describes a nuclear reaction?
nuclear
What type of reaction supplies the most energy?
fusion nuclear reaction followed by fission nuclear reaction
Is a nuclear reaction a living thing?
A nuclear reaction is not considered a living thing.
Which type of nuclear reaction from large less stable nucei decomposing into small more stable nuclei?
This process is called nuclear fission. In nuclear fission, a large, less stable nucleus is split into smaller, more stable nuclei, releasing a significant amount of energy in the process. This reaction is the principle behind nuclear power generation and nuclear weapons.
What is the continuous bombardment and splitting of a atomic nuclei?
That process is called nuclear fission, where a heavy atomic nucleus splits into two or more smaller nuclei, releasing a large amount of energy in the process. This is the principle behind nuclear power plants and nuclear weapons.
What is fission statement?
Fission is a nuclear reaction in which the nucleus of an atom splits into two or more smaller nuclei, releasing a large amount of energy. This process is the underlying principle behind nuclear power plants and atomic bombs.
Is nuclear energy a fission or fusion reaction?
Nuclear energy is either:fission reaction, orfusion reaction, orradioactive decay
What happens to matter when it is converted in a nuclear reaction?
In a nuclear reaction, matter is converted into energy.
