is released from the atoms in two ways by Nuclear Fusion or by Nuclear Fission. Nuclear Fusion is when energy is released which is when atoms are combined or fused together to form a bigger atom. Nuclear Fission is when atoms are divided and split apart from smaller atoms releasing energy. Some of the power plants burn fuel to produce the electricity needed but the no nuclear power plants don’t need to burn fuel. The nuclear plants use the heat that was given during the fission as fuel. The Nuclear

nuclear fusion. Nuclear fusion is a reaction where matter is forced together and the nuclei are fused together. This is how the first start was born when hydrogen atoms were fussed together to create helium. After this many more starts and a lot more elements were created. Stars start there life as a cloud of gas called a nebula. Mainly consisting of hydrogen and helium. The gases will then be drawn to a centre point of gravity which will then create a protostar. And then the nuclear fusion in the

SOLAR ENERGY INTRODUCTION SOLAR ENERGY is the radiant energy that we receive from the sun in the form of heat and light. It is an inexhaustible source of energy. Solar Energy is the ultimate source of most of the sources of energy that we use. The wind energy‚ water energy‚ energy of fossil fuels and the energy in food are due to solar energy. SOURCE OF SOLAR ENERGY The discovery of radioactivity led some scientists to suggest that the energy released during radioactive decay of radioactive

Benefits of space exploration is knowing about the thousands of asteroids and know there “drifts”. Maybe we can prevent ’dinosaurian death of mankind’! The scientists and researchers all over the world are attempting to harness the power of nuclear fusion. It is believed that quantity of electricity generated using 1kg of hydrogen would be equivalent to that of 11‚000 metric tons of coal. Metal alloys that are manufactured to be used in spacecraft and space shuttles are also used in the health care

Rutherford directed a narrow beam of α-particles‚ all of the same kinetic energy‚ in an evacuated container at a thin gold film‚ in order to identify the structure of an atom: The α-particles need to be of the same kinetic energy otherwise slow α-particles would be deflected more than faster α-particles on the same initial path. The container needs to be evacuated
