What is the difference between nuclear reaction and chemical reaction?
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…
How the Nuclear Reactions are categorized?
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…
What do you mean by induced radioactivity?
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…
What do you understand by Artificial Transmutation of Elements?
When one element is converted into another element artificially then it is known as Artificial Transmutation. It is a type of artificial radioactivity. This concept came in the year 1919…
What do you mean by Induced Radioactivity?
Induced Radioactivity is a type of Artificial Radioactivity. A process in which a new radioactive isotope is prepared by using a known element is known as Induced Radioactivity. This concept…
Describe the method of preparing Transuranic Elements?
When natural element like Uranium (U238) with neutrons having some velocity is bombarded, single neutron is being captured per atom of the element Uranium which gives birth to an element…
What do you mean by Q values of Nuclear Reactions?
For the complete equation of nuclear reaction, it must include the change in energy of the reaction also. The energy change in the nuclear reaction is represented by Q. Hence…
Calculate Q-Value of the following nuclear reaction
3Li7 + 1H1 ——–> 22He4 Check whether the reaction is exoergic or endoergic The value of Q can be calculated from the masses of the products and reactants of the…
What do you mean by Nuclear Columbic Barrier?
As we know that any positively charged particle like the alpha particle is positively charged , when approaches the nucleus, it gets repelled by the nucleus. This repulsive force between…
