Various type of radioactive material like plutonium can be used as a fissionable material. However, ordinary uranium consists only of about 0.7 percent of U235 and it is extremely difficult…
As we know 92U238 is bigger in size so it will not breakup unless the energy of bombarding neutrons is more than 1.2 MeV. Such neutrons are called fast neutrons.…
It is a process of formation of heavier and bigger nucleus by the combination of various lighter and smaller nucleus. This process is called nuclear fusion. This process can take…
The energy production in the sun and the star could be explained on the basis of carbon cycle by means of which hydrogen is converted into helium. 6C12 act as…
The thermal nuclear reactions among nuclei of hydrogen isotopes like deuterium and tritium serve as sources of energy on earth crust. These type of nuclei occur more rapidly so they…
Hydrogen bomb is more powerful than atom bomb due to the fast freeze of very large amount of energy in the thermo nuclear reactions among the nuclei of hydrogen isotopes.…
A nuclear reaction involves the splitting of nuclei, usually producing something unstable and releasing neutrons. After a nuclear reaction, a process of emitting radiation (alpha beta and gamma) occurs for…
Difference between Nuclear reaction and Chemical reactions are as follows: NUCLEAR REACTION CHEMICAL REACTION Nuclear reaction takes place in the atom’s nucleus. Electrons in the atom are responsible for chemical…
Nuclear reactions are broadly categorized in two different ways which are given below: a. Natural Radioactivity b. Artificial Radioactivity Natural Radioactivity: In this type if nuclear reactions there are a…
Induced radioactivity is a type of artificial radioactivity. Nuclear reaction mostly involves heavy nucleus products and particles like an electron, a deuteron, a proton, a neutron or a α-particle and…
