Nuclear+Physics

=Nuclear Physics- = toc The study of the properties of atomic nucleus. Which is the smallest part of an atom and is located in the center. forces that hold the atom together are very strong. In 1905 Einstein showed that energy and mass were different stances but of the same thing. this is where Einstein's famous equation e=mc2 came from. nuclear physics started out with the discovery of radioactivity by Henri Becquerel. = Time Line- = [|Time Line/History]

= = = Fission- =

Fission was discovered in 1938. Nuclear fission is a reaction in which the nucleus splits into smaller parts making neutrons and photons free and putting them in the form of gamma rays. Which then release a huge amount of energy. You can find fission in bombs. An example is atom bombs. = = = ‍Fusion = = = = =

in nuclear fusion two atomic nuclei fuse together. During this process of nuclear fusion a large amount of energy is being produced due to a nuclear force. This force is created from a increase of the temperature of the nucleus.
