What represents an alpha particle?
An alpha particle in nuclear chemistry is a helium-4 nucleus, or 42He+2. In order to simplify, the Greek letter alpha is also used to represent the particle.
What property is attributed to the particle nature of light rather than its wave nature?
The property of localized energy packets called photons is attributed to the particle nature of light rather than its wave nature.
What Processes depend on fusion Check all that apply. A. energy production in the sun B. energy production in nuclear reactors C. the hydrogen bomb D. energy production from fuel cells?
A. energy production in the sun and C. the hydrogen bomb rely on fusion processes. Fusion reactions combine nuclei to release energy, with the sun and hydrogen bombs utilizing this mechanism. Nuclear reactors and fuel cells involve fission or chemical reactions, respectively, rather than fusion.
What is 3 examples nuclear transmutation?
Because transmutation, the change of one element into another, is only accomplished by some kind of change in the nucleus of an atom. It's a nuclear change, and a nuclear reaction is the only change that will facilitate transmutation.
What happens to a water particle near the surface in the mid Atlantic when a wave passes?
When a wave passes over a water particle near the surface in the mid-Atlantic, the particle undergoes circular motion. As the wave crest approaches, the particle moves in the direction of the wave, then returns to its original position as the trough follows. The water particle itself does not significantly move horizontally, but rather moves in a circular path.
What were other option rather an atomic bomb?
Atomic bombs are a type of Nuclear bomb and there are 2 types of nuclear bombs. The second type of nuclear bomb is a hydrogen bomb.
What represents an alpha particle?
An alpha particle in nuclear chemistry is a helium-4 nucleus, or 42He+2. In order to simplify, the Greek letter alpha is also used to represent the particle.
Hydrogen plus hydrogen helium?
When two hydrogen atoms react, they can combine to form helium through nuclear fusion. This process releases a tremendous amount of energy and is the basis for the power source of the sun and other stars.
How would you arrange Nuclear power Wind power and Petroleum from highest to lowest percentage of world wide use?
Assuming you mean total energy produced rather than electricity alone, the order would be petroleum, nuclear, wind power
How do scientists make elements that are heavier than uranium?
They are made by stars through nuclear fusion. While we mostly use nuclear fusion just with hydrogen into helium, the nuclear fusion process can be used to make any and every element. All elements* up to Iron, yield energy during the fusion process. To procceed above iron, the fusion process takes energy, rather then supplying it. *minus a few select isotopes
How does the sun produce flames without oxygen?
The sun doesn't produce flames. Rather, the sun's energy comes from nuclear fusion reactions in its core, where hydrogen atoms combine to form helium. This process releases immense amounts of energy in the form of heat and light.
What is the chemical combustion of the sun?
The sun undergoes nuclear fusion, not chemical combustion. In its core, hydrogen atoms fuse together to form helium, releasing a tremendous amount of energy in the process. This energy is what powers the sun and makes it shine.
Why is the sun's energy called nuclear energy?
The energy produced (or rather, converted) in the Sun comes from nuclear energy - that is, it involves changes to atomic nuclei. In this case, four hydrogen-1 atoms combine to one helium-4 atom. (The numbers refer to the isotopes involved.)
What property is attributed to the particle nature of light rather than its wave nature?
The property of localized energy packets called photons is attributed to the particle nature of light rather than its wave nature.
What is the nuclear decay equation for uranium 233?
The equation for the alpha decay of 233U is: 92233U --> 90229Th + 24He representing the alpha particle as a helium nucleus. 223U can also undergo fission, but since this is an rather unpredictable process, there is no standard equation.
How would you rank the nuclear fuels in order of being consumed from first to last with the following fuels carbon hydrogen and helium?
First it should be emphasized that hydrogen and helium are not primary energy sources. They are named as secondary energy sourcesCarbon from coal has limited resources as any fossil fuel (although coal is more abundant than oil and natural gas)As for the nuclear fuel, the uranium mining is not the only source for the nuclear fuel. Other sources are:as by product from phosphate and gold production industrythe dismantling of nuclear weaponsusing nuclear breeder reactorsuranium production from water (Japanese R&D)The availability of uranium for uranium fuel persuades some scientists to consider nuclear energy as one of the renewable energy sources.
Why is electron fundamental particle and proton not?
The electron is considered a fundamental particle because it has no internal structure or substructure. On the other hand, the proton is composed of smaller particles called quarks (two up quarks and one down quark) bound together by the strong nuclear force. This internal structure of the proton categorizes it as a composite particle rather than fundamental.
