What nuclear particle basically has no mass but does have a charge?
A photon is a nuclear particle with no mass and carries a charge.
What is mass defect associated with?
Mass defect is associated with nuclear reactions and nuclear binding energy. It refers to the difference between the measured mass of an atomic nucleus and the sum of the masses of its individual protons and neutrons. This difference is released as energy when the nucleus is formed.
In a correctly written nuclear equation what is true about the total mass number on the reactant side as compared to the total mass number on the product side?
The total mass number is the same on both the reactant and product sides of a correctly written nuclear equation. This is because the total mass number is conserved in nuclear reactions.
When can the law of conservation of mass be changed?
In nuclear changes.
What does nuking mean?
Is means to destroy with nuclear weapons. Destroy by using nuclear weapons of mass destruction!
In nuclear fusion mass transforms into what?
In nuclear fusion mass transforms into energy.
Is fusion nuclear decay or nuclear synthesis?
Fusion is nuclear synthesis, combining atoms of lesser mass into atoms of greater mass. Decay is reducing the mass of larger (unstable) atoms to form atoms of lesser mass.
Does mass increase during a nuclear change?
No, mass does not increase during a nuclear change. According to the principle of mass-energy equivalence (E=mc^2), the mass of the reactants is converted into energy during a nuclear change.
Minimum mass of material requied for the nuclear chain reaction to occur in a nuclear bomb is called?
The critical mass
What Nuclear reactions convert some of the mass to?
Nuclear reactions convert some of the mass into energy according to Einstein's equation E=mc^2, where E is energy, m is mass, and c is the speed of light. This process is the basis of nuclear power plants and nuclear weapons.
What nuclear particle basically has no mass but does have a charge?
A photon is a nuclear particle with no mass and carries a charge.
What is mass converted to in nuclear processes?
nuclear decay, such as alpha decay or beta decay.
In nuclear fusion mass is tansformed into?
Energy
Is a proton is a nuclear particle with a mass of 1 AMU and no charge?
No, that would be a neutron. A proton is a nuclear particle with a mass of 1 AMU and a 1+ charge
In a nuclear fusion reaction how does the mass of the products compare to the mass of the reactants.?
In a nuclear fusion reaction, the mass of the products is slightly less than the mass of the reactants. This loss of mass is converted into energy according to Einstein's E=mc^2 equation. The difference in mass is known as the mass defect.
What type of nuclear radiation has a mass of 4?
Alpha particles are a type of nuclear radiation with a mass of 4 atomic mass units. They consist of two protons and two neutrons bound together.
What is the device used to measure the nuclear mass?
A mass spectrometer is the device most commonly used to measure the nuclear mass. It works by ionizing atoms and then separating the ions based on their mass-to-charge ratio. This allows for precise measurement of the mass of the nucleus of an atom.
