The nuclear fusion is a physical reaction and consists on the fusion of atomic nuclei of two atoms, forming only one atom in the end of the process and thus liberating a massive amount of energy.

False. Radioactive decay is a process in which an unstable nucleus emits alpha particles (α), beta particles (β), or gamma rays (γ) and becomes a different nucleus. nucleus → different nucleus + …

I don't want to just do your homework for you, so I'll explain the phenomena below and let you work out the answers based on that. A chemical reaction, like combustion or rusting, is not a nuclear reaction …

How are fusion and fission similar? How does nuclear fission create energy? How can fission and fusion be used? Which produces more energy, nuclear fission or nuclear fusion? Is the source of the sun's …

Jan 6, 2018 · Once a gas giant accumulates enough mass from the surrounding nebula (say about 13 times the mass of Jupiter), then the internal pressure and density is enough to allow some nuclear …

Two possibilities on the horizon - thorium reactors and fusion. The nuclear industry is in a slump due to the most recent Fukushima nuclear disaster a few years ago, plus huge construction costs. …

Good question. I will argue that a nuclear reactor has LESS an environmental impact than a coal powered fire station. A nuclear reactor operates for a year; the bigger ones have a capacity to match …

What is the radionuclide? Given the nuclear equation #""_1^1H + X -> _3^6Li + _2^4He#, what is the particle represented by #X#? What is the difference between fission, fusion, and their applications? …

Perhaps this question should have posed in the fyziks section.... But in terms of nuclear reactions, MASS is certainly NOT conserved. And because of the mass/energy equivalence in Einstein's …
