Nuclear Energy

Nuclear fusion

Two or more small and light nuclei combine to produce a heavier nucleus. (produce energy)

Nuclear fission

A heavy nucleus split into two or more of smaller nuclei with almost the same mass when bombarded by neutrons (produce energy)

Chain reaction

Neutrons from nuclear fission continuously split nuclei causing further fission

Two or more small and light nuclei combine to produce a heavier nucleus. (produce energy). Is the definition for

Nuclear fusion

Nuclear fission

The formula of the nuclear energy

Energy is equal to mass times square of light speed

Location of nuclear fusion that can occur

Sun

The nuclear energy can be obtained....

.....through nuclear fission

An unstable nucleus happens when....

.......a neutron is bombarded into the nucleus

The effect of nuclear fission

Causes the reduction in number of nucleus
