Question

What is a nuclear chain reaction?

Marissa Turner · Accepted Answer

is a problem to from Chapter three Sex and six, and it&#x27;s asking those what is a nuclear chain reaction. So a nuclear change in action starts from nuclear fission from nuclear fission, and Decision has fast moving particles, and they strike of nuclei. Neutrons are mythical. Nucleus causes the neutrons that split apart, henceforth efficient. For example, uranium has three isotopes and while undergoing vision, the action. This was Olson to smaller isotopes in admitting three other neutrons at the end of nuclear chain reaction. There are lots of energy that is released.

Matthew Confer · Answer

in nuclear chemistry. A chain reaction refers to a reaction, which that is self propagating. Um, essentially, the easiest way to talk about is with an example. So if you have a atom of uranium and there&#x27;s a small neutron that comes in and wax it, that will produce something that looks like krypton. So some k R. You also have some barium, so be a and then we also get the really neutrons. Each one of these neutrons can then go slam into another uranium, which will then go off into a krypton, three neutrons and a barium. Each of these can then splinter off as well, and it&#x27;s a chain reaction because it creates enough material to sustain itself in terms of initiation. Um, and nuclear power reactors using uranium are pretty much one of the most common examples of a nuclear chain reaction.

David Collins · Answer

a nuclear reaction is simply a process in which be nucleus oven. Adam changes in some way. Some examples include nuclear decay, vision and fusion from the nucleus changes in some way, we&#x27;re typically changing the number of protons and neutrons within the nucleus, protons and or neutrons.

David Collins · Answer

during vision. Typically, one neutron is required to initiate the process, and then multiple neutrons are released. So, for example, during the vision of uranium to 35 1 neutron will split it into as one example, crypt on 91 buryem 1 42 plus three neutrons. Those three neutrons can then initiate the vision of other uranium to 35 processes, and each of them would admit three additional neutrons, allowing for a cascade and a chain reaction.

Zachary Warner · Answer

if a nucleus is able to release a large number of neutrons through a fission reaction and if he&#x27;s released, neutrons from a previous nucleus are fission in a process by a neighbor and nucleus. These neutrons intend to start the fission reaction in the respect of nucleus, and thus the process continues as a chain reaction. So therefore, the answer This question is, the steps for a chain reaction to take place are the releasing of neutrons from one nucleus from a fission process, followed by the absorption of said neutrons by another nearby nucleus. This causes the second nucleus to undergo efficient process, which continues the chain reaction.

Amy Jiang · Answer

So we&#x27;re asked to describe the process that occurs during a nuclear chain reaction. Okay, so we know that a chain reaction refers to a process in which neutron are released in a vision, profits and additional vision in that one. Further so the nucleus and produces you drawn on the process repeats process may be controlled through like, for example, on nuclear power or uncontrolled drew nuclear weapons in nuclear power. The profits controlled grew the use of control on

What is a nuclear chain reaction?

Answer

A nuclear chain reaction is a process in which unstable elements are shot and allow them to disintegrate and released particles initiate other reactions which further initiate other reactions and so on releasing energy
