Nuclear Fission & Fusion

History: Hahn & Strassman (1939) Bombarded Uranium-235 samples with neutrons expecting the Uranium-235 to capture neutrons Instead, the products showed different chemical properties that they could not explain

Meitner & Frisch Nuclear Fission Explained Hahn & Strassman results. Instead of heavier Uranium, it had split into smaller elements = Nuclear Fission

Mass Defect Difference between the mass of an atom and the mass of its individual particles. 4.00260 amu 4.03298 amu E = mc2 E: energy (J) m: mass defect (kg) c: speed of light (3.00×108 m/s)

– splitting of heavier nuclei into lighter nuclei. Nuclear Fission – splitting of heavier nuclei into lighter nuclei. energy + +15

Nuclear Chain Reactions: Nuclear fission releases more neutrons which trigger more fission reactions The number of ________ released determines the success of a chain reaction neutrons

Nuclear Power

- Energy released when two light nuclei combine or fuse Nuclear Fusion energy + However, a large amount of energy is required to start a fusion reaction: Need this energy to overcome ________ forces of protons. Extremely high temperatures can provide start-up energy. repulsion **More energy in fusing hydrogen that fission of uranium

Nuclear Fusion

Stars energy is produced through fusion reactions Fusion occurs until Fe is produced because less energy is released than required to fuse Fe nuclei = _____ ____ ____ Star burns out

Cold Fusion: Efforts are being made to start and sustain a fusion reaction at lower temperatures, in other words with a lower amount of input energy
