Nuclear Energy and Chemical Energy

Nuclear energy is released when very small particles of matter split or combine. After the split or combination, they result in small particles or heavy particle. The rest of the mass is changed into energy. This process of changing mass into energy produces the energy.

Examples on nuclear energy and chemical energy-

Following are you the Examples on nuclear energy and chemical energy

Example :-

What is the function of control rods in a nuclear reactor? Explain, what is the material used for these rods?

Suggested Answer:-

Control rods regulate the rate of fission by absorbing the excess neutrons and prevent the chain reaction. Deeper the rods are placed slower the process.

The material used is boron or cadmium alloyed with aluminium or steel.
