Nuclear reactors found in nuclear power plants use uranium as a fuel for a fission reaction. Which statement below best describe

s this process?
A.
Two uranium nuclei are forced to collide at high speeds and they stick together releasing enormous amounts of heat. This heat causes other uranuim nuclei to collide and this process produces surplus heat to convert water to steam.
B.
A uranium nucleus is bombarded wtih a neutron which causes it to split and release heat and more neutrons. Those neutrons collide with other uranium nuclei. This process releases large quantities of heat that convert water to steam.
C.
Uranium nuclei are lined up in the reactor chamber so that when the first uranium is bombarded wtih an alpha particle, it causes that uranium to collide with the next uranium. Each of these collisions produces excess heat in large quantities which converts water to steam.

The nuclear fission process of the power plant bombards the uranium element with a neutron to start a series of reactions to release a large amount of energy. Thus, option B is correct.

<h3>What is nuclear fission?</h3>

Nuclear fission is a process of generating energy by the collision of the neutron particle with the element. The element under collision splits and releases more neutrons.

As the neutrons are produced they collide with more elements resulting in more energy. It is used to convert water into steam and generate electricity.

Therefore, option B. the neutron collides with elements to produce energy in a nuclear power plant.

Iron(II) sulfide has a primitive cubic unit cell with sulfide ions at the lattice points.
masya89 [10]

We have that the  the density of FeS  is mathematically given as

  •  \phi=2.56h/cm^3

From the question we are told

Iron(II) sulfide has a primitive <em>cubic</em> unit cell with <em>sulfide</em> ions at the <em>lattice points.</em>

The ionic radii of iron(II) ions and sulfide ions are 88 pm and 184 pm, respectively.

What is the density of FeS (in g/cm3)?

<h3>Density</h3>

Generally the equation for the Velocity  is mathematically given as

V_c=a^3=(2\pi Fe^{2+}+2\pi S^{2-})^3\\\\Therefore\\\\V=a^3(2\pi*0.088+2\pi 0.184)^3\\\\V=16.98*10^{-23}\\\\Therefore\\\\\phi=n\frac{PFeion+PSion}{VNa}\\\\\phi=3*\frac{55.85+32}{16.9*10^{-23}*6.023*10^{23}}

  • \phi=2.56h/cm^3
  • \phi=2.56h/cm^3

A stupid person doesn’t have much intelligence or imagination, and they go through life making decisions that seem to lack all common sense. If you’ve got a brain but you don’t use it, you might be a bit stupid.

1. Four (4) is a coefficient found in which of the following
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

a. 4KCN

Explanation:

Four is a coefficient found in the chemical formula 4KCN.

KCN is potassium cyanides.

 A coefficient is a number that is written before a chemical compound. It is usually used to balanced reaction expression.

Chemically such numbers indicate the number of moles or volume of that specie.

Since KCN is the only compound with 4 before it, so, the solution is KCN
