modern nuclear chemistry

Nuclear reactions, such as nuclear fission, nuclear fusion, transmutation processes etc. are studied under this branch. In addition, with new developments emerging in recent years, more branches of chemistry are being added. These include, pharmaceutical ..

Uses of Noble Gases - Argon is used mainly to provide an inert atmosphere in high temperature metallurgical processes (arc welding of metals or alloys) and for filling electric bulbs. It is also used in the laboratory for handling substances that are air-sensitive. Helium is a non-flammable and lig..

Nuclear Reactors - An equipment in which the nuclear chain reaction is carried out in a controlled manner is called a nuclear reactor. The energy liberated in a controlled manner is used to produce steam, which can run turbines and produce electricity. In nuclearh..

Nuclear Fusion - The fission of heavy nuclei is accompanied by mass losses resulting in the liberation of large amounts of energy. Similarly, the fusion of light nuclei is accompanied by mass losses and the evolution of large quantities of energy. Nuclear fusion is a process in ..

Nuclear Fission - Two consequences of nuclear reactions are the phenomena of nuclear fission and nuclear fusion. Both are important sources of nuclear energy, which may be used for peaceful or destructive purposes. When a nucleus is bombarded with s..
