What makes uranium explode?
It is produced by the refinement of pitchblende ore and is subsequently enriched through various methods to yield highly enriched uranium, which can be used in nuclear weapons or nuclear reactors. you can also go to uranus and find some their
What is the energy yield of respiration?
The energy yield of respiration is approximately 36-38 molecules of ATP per molecule of glucose. This process occurs in the form of aerobic respiration, where glucose is broken down in the presence of oxygen to produce ATP, the main source of energy for cells.
How is fussion bomb different from a fission bomb?
Fusion reaction combines isotopes of hydrogen to make helium and release energy. This requires temperatures in the millions of Kelvins to start.Fission reaction breaks up isotopes of heavy elements (Uranium & Plutonium) into lighter elements (fission fragments, a major part of fallout) and release energy. This can start a normal temperatures.
What is the Yield nucular weapon?
The yield of a nuclear weapon is its energy release, usually expressed in the weight of TNT that would release the same energy (e.g. kilotons, megatons). It depends strongly on type of bomb (fission or fusion) and many design details.
Energy yield of five grams of sugar?
Sugar is a pure carbohydrate. As such, one gram of sugar provides the equivalent of 4 kcalories of energy. Knowing this information we can conslude that five grams of sugar would yield 20 kcalories.
Which radioactive isotope would have the highest fissial energy yield?
Uranium 64
Why does uranium shine when exposed to bright light?
The electrons when switch to next higher orbit they need energy to do it they do it by using energy of photons when the photons have equal energy to that required by electron theY absorb it,similarly when the are spelled out the yield out of uranium then they are accelerated to such speed that they emit their energy in showing a spectrum.
Why does iron not yield energy if fused with something else?
Because iron has very little binding energy, to get it to fuse you must add binding energy. This takes a supernova explosion or a powerful particle accelerator. Elements lighter than iron have excess binding energy that can be releases by fusion, but not iron (or any heavier element).
Do nuclear engineers make bombs?
It can and it is Although U-238 is not very radioactive -- it's sometimes called depleted Uranium -- it is used as a "tamper" in the core of nuclear warhead. Its use as a tamper greatly increases the yield energy of the device. Wikipedia has a pretty good article to check out. Uranium 238 is not fissionable with thermal neutrons; uranium 238 cannot be used in bombs as fissionable, explosive material.However as the final stage tamper of a hydrogen bomb the high energy fusion neutrons will fission Uranium-238, possibly generating 90% of the yield and a corresponding amount of the fallout of such bombs.
Does vitamins yield energy?
yes
What type of nuclear energy do hydrogen bombs produce?
Fusion. However in standard fusion bombs about 90% of the yield comes from fission of Uranium-238 in the fusion tamper and radiation channel guide from fast 15MeV fusion neutrons.
Why are nuclear bombs called 'dirty' bombs?
Fusion (thermonuclear) bombs can be classified into 'dirty' and 'clean' bombs, depending on the material used for their fusion stage(s) tamper. Normally depleted uranium is used, this produces a very high yield 'dirty' bomb as the uranium fissions providing as much as 90% of the yield and large amounts of fallout. If you are willing to sacrifice most of the weapon's potential yield (but the yield is still very high), you can replace the fusion stage(s) tamper with non-fissionable metals (e.g. lead, tungsten, iron) and get what is called a 'clean' bomb that in some cases produces 5% or less of the fallout of similar yield bombs with uranium tampers. There are also bombs called 'salted' bombs where selected elements are added to the uranium tamper to make the fallout worse at a minor loss in yield depending on how much of these elements are added. Sometimes these are referred to as 'dirty' fusion bombs, when the standard uranium tamper bomb is referred to as a 'conventional' fusion bomb.
What is the energy yield for glycolysis?
Two pyruvates.
What makes a H bomb more destructive than an A bomb?
it is a 2 (or more) stage device, the first stage is an A bomb while the remaining stage(s) contain fusion fuel. typically lithium deuteride. the amount of fission fuel (uranium or plutonium) that can be put in an A bomb is inherently limited. if you put too much in the bomb it will spontaneously begin to fission (possibly even during assembly or storage, definitely long before use and delivery to a target is possible) causing the bomb to heat up, melt, and produce a low yield fizzle explosion; producing mostly contamination not damage. it has been computed that the limit to the yield of an A bomb is about 1 megaton, the highest yield A bomb ever tested had a yield of 500 kilotons. the amount of fusion fuel that can be put in an H bomb has no such limit, fusion cannot begin spontaneously. also the yield can be raised by using as many stages as you want. also the fusion reaction produces many very high energy neutrons, which are capable of fissioning depleted uranium (which is not fissionable under ordinary conditions), if the outer casing/tamper of an H bomb is made of depleted uranium it is possible to raise the yield of the H bomb by up to a factor of 10. the first H bomb tested had a yield of 10 megatons. the highest yield H bomb tested had a yield of just over 50 megatons, but had it used the uranium casing/tamper it was designed for the yield was predicted to be 100 megatons.
What nutrients supplies your body with energy?
Carbohydrates, fats and proteins yield the energy the body needs to fuel its various activities. Vitamins, minerals and water do NOT yield energy, but perform other tasks such as maintenance and repair.

Can you compare the atomic bomb to the hydrogen bomb?
Yes, however on one level they are the same thing as both obtain their energy from the release of excess nuclear binding energy. However as the terms have traditionally been used the differences are as follows:atomic bomb, a rather simple bomb operating with nuclear fission of heavy element(s) within a "prompt supercritical mass" of a fissile isotope initiated by a pulse of neutrons. The most commonly used fissile isotopes are plutonium-239, uranium-235 (uranium-233 could also be used but has properties similar to plutonium-239). The yield of such a bomb is limited to less than one megaton (with the highest yield such bomb ever tested only half that).hydrogen bomb, a rather complicated bomb operating with nuclear fusion of light element(s) compressed and heated using x-rays generated by either an atomic bomb or another hydrogen bomb in a previous "stage" of the bomb. This "staging" principal permits the yield of a hydrogen bomb to be as large as desired, also the yield can be increased (as well as the fallout) by enclosing the bomb in uranium (even the nonfissionable isotope uranium--238 usually considered "waste" after enriching uranium-235 for atomic bombs can be used) which will be fissioned by the high energy fusion neutrons. This can multiply the yield of the bomb by a factor between 2 to 10 times!However almost all modern nuclear weapons use both fission and fusion to optimize the bomb's size, weight, yield, etc. for the specific military purpose it is intended to be used for. So the lines are quite blurred.
