How does the process of nuclear fusion in the sun differ from nuclear fission in terms of energy production and sustainability?

Nuclear fusion in the sun involves combining light atomic nuclei to release energy, while nuclear fission on Earth involves splitting heavy atomic nuclei to release energy. Fusion produces more energy and is more sustainable than fission because it uses abundant fuel sources and produces less radioactive waste.


Are there other sources of atomic energy other than nuclear energy?

Nuclear energy means energy obtained from changes in the nucleus, which is nuclear fission on earth and fusion in stars (possibly on earth in the distant future). Radioactivity is also a nuclear phenomenen which can give small amounts of useful energy. When you move to the atomic level you are dealing in Chemistry rather than Nuclear Physics, and some chemical reactions give out energy, most notably the burning of fossil fuels with oxygen.


What is the Difference in radiation - atomic vs hydrogen bombs?

Atomic bombs use nuclear fission, where heavy atomic nuclei split into smaller ones releasing energy and radiation. Hydrogen bombs use both nuclear fission and fusion, with fusion reactions involving the combining of light atomic nuclei to release even more energy and radiation. Hydrogen bombs are typically more powerful and produce higher levels of radiation compared to atomic bombs.


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 elements have relatively small nuclear binding energy per nuclear particle?

Elements with relatively small nuclear binding energy per nuclear particle include elements with high atomic number (e.g. transuranium elements) and elements with unstable isotopes. These elements require more energy to hold their nucleus together, resulting in smaller binding energy per nuclear particle.

Is atomic energy and nuclear energy the same?

Yes, atomic energy was the term used up to the 50's, then nuclear energy became the normal term, it is more correct.


What is Alternative energy source produced from atomic reactions?

Nuclear fission is when a neutron is fired at an element with a high atomic number, which splits and releases more neutrons and energy as a result. Nuclear fusion occurs in stars and experimental reactors.


Does nuclear fusion produce much less energy per atom than nuclear fission?

In terms of energy per atom, nuclear fusion produces more energy than nuclear fission. Fusion reactions involve the combination of lighter atomic nuclei to form heavier nuclei, releasing large amounts of energy in the process. Fission reactions, on the other hand, involve the splitting of heavier atomic nuclei into smaller fragments, releasing energy.

Why does an atomic bomb release more energy than a conventional chemical bomb?

An atomic bomb releases more energy than a conventional chemical bomb because the atomic bomb releases binding, or Nuclear Strong Force, energy while the conventional bomb releases chemical energy, and there is far more binding energy (hundreds and thousands of times) than there is chemical energy from the same mass of material.

How and why does atomic nuclear decay occur?

Atomic nuclear decay occurs when an unstable atomic nucleus releases energy in the form of radiation to become more stable. This process can happen due to the imbalance of protons and neutrons in the nucleus, leading to the emission of alpha, beta, or gamma particles. The decay helps the nucleus achieve a more balanced state and reduces its energy level.


How does nuclear fission related from nuclear fusion?

Nuclear fusion:Two or more atomic nuclei join together to form a single nucleus.Energy is released.Nuclear fission:One atomic nucleus splits into two or more separate nuclei, plus other fragments.Energy is released.

Does atomic explosion and nuclear explosion mean the same?

This question could be easily misconstrued. While atomic and nuclear explosion mean the same thing, and all atomic bombs are nuclear bombs, not all nuclear bombs are atomic bombs. The more powerful nuclear bombs are hydrogen bombs, and there is a very important fundamental difference between the two. ============================================================== A bomb is fission - the splitting of an atom H bomb is fusion - the joining together of atoms (and much more powerfull)
