  • Explain radioactivity in terms of an unstable nucleus.

    Nuclei are held together by the strong nuclear force, but they are being pulled apart by the negative charge of the electrons around them. The strong force is stronger than the electrostatic force, which is why nuclei are generally stable.

  • Isotopes, Half Lives and Neutron Activation

    This force is one of the four basic forces in nature (other three being gravitation, electromagnetic, weak nuclear force) and the strongest of them 5.

  • Nuclear fusion vs fission

    Response: The fusion of light nuclei and the accompanying release of energy is the process that makes stars shine. In addition, nuclear fusion is the process at work in a hydrogen bomb.

  • Fission and Fusion

    By contrast, fission is the process of release of nuclear energy from the splitting of very heavy nuclei, typically uranium or plutonium, into lighter nuclei of roughly equal mass.

  • Estimating energy release from nuclear reaction using E=mc^2

    416296 Estimating energy release from nuclear reaction using E=mc^2 Two identical hypothetical nuclei, each with mass ( 3 - .0041) amu, fuse to form a nucleus with mass ( 5 - .00399) amu and a neutron, whose mass is about 1.000867 amu.

  • Process that Powers the Sun

    The Sun is powered by nuclear fusion. In this process protons fuse into helium nuclei.

  • Nuclear Fusion Statements
