All nuclear reactions involve changes in the structure of atomic nuclei, which can result in the release of a large amount of energy. These reactions are governed by the principles of conservation of mass and conservation of energy. Additionally, nuclear reactions can involve the splitting (fission) or combining (fusion) of atomic nuclei.
True. Nuclear power plants use nuclear fission reactions to generate heat, which then creates steam. This steam drives a turbine connected to a generator that produces electricity.
The sun's nuclear reactions are fusion reactions at extremely high temperatures and pressures, while the nuclear reactor's nuclear reactions are fission reactions at typical temperatures and pressures for earth.
False. In the sun's core, nuclear reactions convert hydrogen into helium through the process of nuclear fusion. This process releases energy in the form of electromagnetic radiation, including visible light and heat, which is not converted into mass.
The significance of iron binding energy in nuclear reactions is that iron has the highest binding energy per nucleon among all elements. This means that nuclear reactions involving iron are less likely to release energy compared to reactions involving lighter or heavier elements. This stability of iron helps to regulate the energy output of nuclear reactions and plays a crucial role in the balance of energy production in stars and supernovae.

false
Yes this is true it is called nuclear fusion.
The nuclear reactions are all over the sun but between core and surface the central part observes more.
Nuclear reactions in a nuclear reactor are controlled reactions. The reactions in the atomic bomb are not controlled reactions
True. Nuclear power plants use nuclear fission reactions to generate heat, which then creates steam. This steam drives a turbine connected to a generator that produces electricity.
One thing that is true for all exergonic reactions is that the reaction continues with a net release of what is called free energy. Exergonic reactions are chemical reactions.
No, nuclear reactions refer to any processes involving changes in the nucleus of an atom, which includes both nuclear fission and fusion. Nuclear fusion specifically refers to the process where two atomic nuclei combine to form a heavier nucleus, releasing a large amount of energy.
nuclear fission and nuclear fusion
Natural nuclear fusion reactions occur in all stars
nuclear reactions
Nuclear Fusion. This process involves 'fusing' together two smaller nuclei to form a bigger nucleus.
The sun's nuclear reactions are fusion reactions at extremely high temperatures and pressures, while the nuclear reactor's nuclear reactions are fission reactions at typical temperatures and pressures for earth.
