RADIO ACTIVITY
Definition:The self- disintegrating, spontaneous activity in the form of emission of radiations by some unstable nuclei with atomic number greater than 83 is called natural Radio activity.Radio activity was discovered in 1896 by a French physicist "A.H. Becquerel".Radiations were classified into three types, according to their penetrating capacity they are. 1. α -- Particles. 2. β-- Particles. 3.γ-- Particles. A strong magnetic field is applied at right angles to the plane of the paper, the beam splits in to three distinct components.α-- Particles have least penetrating power. β-- Particles more penetrating power than α (Alpha) -- particles. γ-- Particles are most penetrating power than β(Beta) -- particles.Transmutation:Definition:The process of transformation of one element into another element by bombarding with high energy particles is known as "Transmutation".Definition:The process of change of one chemical element into another chemical element through natural radioactive day, such as αdecay and βdecay is known as "natural Transmutation".Examples of natural Transmutation are potassium - 40 to the Argon -- 40 which forms most of the Argon in air.

Good sources of energy:
• What is a good source of energy?
• Energy output per unit volume:
• The energy output per unit volume (or mass) of good source of energy should be high. The gas in LPG cylinder can be used by family of average size to cook food for about a month. To cook same amount of food using wood, we need a roomful of wood.
• Steady availability: The energy source should be available readily and for a long time.
• Safe and easy to use: The source of energy has to be safe and easy to use, A fuel that produces a lot of smoke is not a good source of energy, since it is not safe for people’s health. A nuclear power plant is not easy to build and operate.
• Easy to store and transport: Most common sources of energy such as coal, petrol, and LPG need to transport to users from their points of production.
• Economical: The source of energy has to be economical. Hydrogen is excellent fuel. But it is not widely used as it is costly to produce, store and transport it.
• What is a good fuel?
• How much heat does it release on burning?
• It should not produce a lot of smoke.
• The fuel should be available easily.

Matter is made up of atoms.
An atom is subdivided into protons, neutrons, and electrons.
The proton and neutron are found in the center of the atom and make up the nucleus.
The negatively charged particles called the electrons are found orbiting the atom.
The orbit of an electron is described as an electron cloud.

energy released during a nuclear reaction as a result of fission or fusion Also called atomic energy. nuclear energy in Science Expand. nuclear energy. The energy released by the nucleus of an atom as the result of nuclear fission, nuclear fusion, or radioactive decay.

When an atom of nuclear fuel (uranium) absorbs a neutron, the uranium will fission into two smaller atoms (waste) and release one to three neutrons. The kinetic energy of the waste is used to heat the water for the steam turbine. The neutrons are used to fission the next lot of uranium atoms and the process continues.

Chain Reaction in Nuclear Fission: When slow neutrons are bombarded on uranium, each uranium nucleus is broken in to two almost equal parts and along with it enormous energy and two or three trash neutrons are emitted. If the conditions are favorable, these neutrons take part in the fission.This leads to a chain of nuclear fissions which continues till the whole of the Uranium is consumed. Thus the energy produced keep on multiplying.We have seen that about 200 MeV MeV- mega electron volts of energy is released due to fission of 1 Uranium nucleus. In this chain reaction, the number of nuclei undergoing fission increases very rapidly, hence the energy produced acquires an enormous amount very soon."The chain reaction is a series of nuclear fissions in which the neutrons produced in each fission cause additional fissions."This chain reaction liberate tremendous amount of energy within short interval of time. But sustaining a self--propagating chain reaction is not easy in practice, because the progressive chain reaction is inhibited due to the following reasons.A Ordinary uranium consists of three isotopes 92U238 92 Uranium 238, 92U236 92 Uranium 236 and 92U235 92 Uranium 235. The major part of ordinary uranium is the isotope 92U238 92 Uranium 238 the remaining are rare. Now, 92U238 92 Uranium 238 can be fissioned only with fast neutrons 1 MeV while 92U235 can be fissioned with slow as well as slow and fast neutrons. Neutrons having energy less than 1 MeV are absorbed by 92U238 through these low energy neutrons can take part is the fission of 92U235 but the probability of their absorption by U238 is much more. Thus the fresh neutrons released in the fission of ordinary uranium being absorbed by U238 are not able continue the chain reaction. This difficulty can be removed in the following two ways: The lighter isotope U235 can be separated from the ordinary uranium by diffusion method. The fission of U235 is now possible by neutrons of any energy high or low. So chain reaction continuous as shows in above.The second way is to slow down the neutrons by any method. So that their energy remains 0.03 eV This can be achieved with help of moderators, which reduce the speed of neutrons very rapidly. Graphite and heavy water are good moderators.The second difficulty in maintaining the chain reaction is that the fast neutrons released by the fission of U235 travel a distance of about 10 centimeter in the substance before they are slow down and fission other nuclei.Therefore, to continue the chain--reaction, the size of the fissionable substance should be bigger than a certain critical size.

Nuclear Fusion | Fusion energy explained with Hydrogen atom example | Physics animation video

In this video we will understand how to or more nucleons merge or fuse together to create something more powerful and meaningful.
Let us first understand the meaning of the word NUCLEAR FUSION, Nuclear meaning the process which involves Nucleus and Fusion in English means two or more entities coming together or merging together to form one single entity.
So, nuclear fusion can be simply defined as the fusion or Combination of Nuclei. Scientifically, Nuclear Fusion can be defined as a nuclear reaction, in which lighter nuclei are combined together to form heavier product nuclei with the release of enormous amount of energy.
Lighter Nuclei such as Lithium and Helium when combined together form a Heavier Nucleus. The mass of heavier nucleus is less than the initial reacting nuclei. The word 'heavier' here is phrased in terms of energy released, which is usually enormous, rather than mass. Therefore the law of conservation of energy is satisfied.
Consider the example of two hydrogen nuclei combining to form a deuterium.
The chemical equation for this reaction is1 1H + 1 1H → 2 1H + 0 +1e + 00 v.
Here, one Hydrogen atom combines with another Hydrogen atom giving Deuterium, one Positron and one Neutrino. This Deuterium in turn combines with another Hydrogen nucleus to form a Helium isotope.
That is, 21H + 1 1H → 3 2He(Helium Isotope)
If two such Helium isotopes are fused together, formation of heavier helium takes place.
In other words, 3 2He + 3 2He → 4 2He + 21 1H
These 3steps of nuclear process, where four protons are fused together to form a heavier 4 2He nucleus and enormous amount of energy is a nuclear fusion reaction.
The chemical equation for this nuclear fusion is:
41 1H → 4 2He + 2 0+1e + 2 00v + Q which is the Energy emitted in the Fusion reaction.
(4 protons when fused together give rise to 2 heavier nucleus, 2 positrons, 2 neutrinos and enormous energy.)
But how is this enormous amount of energy being liberated from such a seemingly simple nuclear reaction. To understand this, let us first calculate the loss of mass in the process.
The starting mass is that of four protons, that is 4 X 1.0078 = 4.0312amu, but the final mass of Helium nucleus is 2me= 4.001506amu.
Therefore the loss of mass is 4.0312 - 4.001506 = 0.0297 amu.
This is equivalent to an energy given by Q = (0.0297amu) X 931,5 Mev/amu =27.67 Mev.
Wow......That is a significant energy release coming from the fusion of 4 protons.
However, in spite of such substantial amounts of energy being released in nuclear fusion reactions, there are no full-time nuclear reactors built so far for fusion reaction as it is very hard to control such enormous energy released.

NUCLEAR FISSION: In our earlier session, we have learnt about nuclear process.Now let us learn about chain reaction in the nuclear process.A nuclear process in which a heavy nucleus, when bombarded with neutrons split into two nuclei of nearly equal mass along with release of enormous amount of energy is called as nuclear fission.In the above said process, every neutron can cause fission but along with the fission, it also releases 3 more neutrons on every fission reaction.Every neutron that is released can cause another fission reaction.Thus the three neutrons released in turn releases 9 neutrons.In the similar way, reaction continues and neutrons are built up in geometric progression and fission occurs till total uranium gets exhausted in a chain manner.This process is called as chain reaction and these reactions are called as Self-sustained series of fissions.The chain reaction: is a series of nuclear fissions whereby the neutrons produced in each fission cause additional fissions.There are two stages of chain reactions are there.Uncontrolled Chain reaction. Controlled Chain reaction. Uncontrolled chain reaction:In the chain reaction, there is no control on the number of fissions taking place and such reactions are called uncontrolled chain reaction.In this chain reaction more than one of the neutrons produced in a particular fission cause further fissions. So that the number of fissions increases very rapidly. Therefore an enormous amount of energy is released within a few millionths of a second and is released as a violent explosion. An average energy of about 200MeV Mega electron volts would be release per fission.Thus, an uncontrolled chain reaction can generate an incredible amount of energy within a very short time.This is actually what happens in an 'Atom Bomb'.Controlled chain-reaction:
