Il Review | Constants Periodic Table Unlike chemical reactions, for which mass is conserved, nuclear reactions result in slight changes in mass. When mass is lost, it becomes energy according to the equation Natural gas (mainly CH4) is used in many power plants to generate electrical power utilizing combustion reactions. Uranium-235 is used to generate power utilizing nuclear fission. Fusion reactions involving hydrogen-1 are under investigation as a future source of electrical power. AE=Amục where AE is the energy in...
