Americium-241 undergoes fission to produce three neutrons per fission event. if a neutron-absorbing material is mixed in with th

is sample so that the rate of neutron production drops down to 1.8 neutrons per fission event, which will be effective at achieving a critical mass? check all that apply. remove a deflective shield surrounding the sample. remove absorbent material mixed in with the sample. compress the sample of americium-241.

Critical mass can be achieved by compressing the sample of americium-241 and also removing the deflective shield surrounding the sample.

<h3>What is critical mass?</h3>

Critical mass of a nuclear reaction is the mass of nuclear fuel which is just sufficient for a nuclear fission reaction to proceed and be sustained.

In order to achieve critical mass, the density of the fuel is increased by compressing the sample of americium-241 and also remove the deflective shield surrounding the sample.

KF is a strong electrolyte, &amp; HF is a weak electrolyte. How are they different?
Vitek1552 [10]

The strong electrolyte KF completely dissociates into K+ and F- ions when it dissolves in water. When the weak electrolyte HF dissolves in water, there are a few ions of H+ and F- present, but mostly dissolved HF molecules. I am hoping that this answer has satisfied your query and it will be able to help you in your endeavor, and if you would like, feel free to ask another question.

The force of attraction between one polar molecule and another polar molecule is​
Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

Dipole-dipole forces

Explanation:

A polar compound is that compound which contains atoms that have a difference in charges i.e electrostatic attraction occurs between its constituent atoms. Polar molecules are attracted to other polar molecules with opposite charges and her held together with the aid of certain forces

The attractive force between the negative part of a polar molecule (-) and the positive part of another polar molecule (+) is called DIPOLE-DIPOLE FORCES. This dipole-dipole force gets stronger with an increasing polarity of the molecules involved.
