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.

What is the most stable monatomic ion formed from magnesium?
Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

Mg²⁺

Explanation:

The electron configuration of Mg is [Ne]3s².

It is easier for Mg to get a complete octet by losing two electrons and exposing the neon core than it is to add eight electrons and get an Ar octet.

The most stable monatomic Mg ion is Mg²⁺.

What happens to a glass of water as the average molecular kinetic energy of the water molecules increases?
trasher [3.6K]
"The water becomes warmer."
<u>Remember</u>: Kinetic energy means how much, on average, a molecule is moving around. This is directly translated into heat. Therefore, the higher the kinetic energy, the more heat produced.
