An example of a reaction that occurs within the core of a nuclear reactor is the nuclear fission reaction given:

  • ²³⁵₉₂U + ¹₀n ---> ⁹⁰₃₈Sr + ¹⁴³₅₄ + 3 ¹₀n

<h3>What is a nuclear reactor?</h3>

A nuclear reactor is a device which produces electrical energy as a result of the nuclear reactions that take place within it.

In a nuclear reactor, the reaction that takes place within the core is a nuclear fission chain reaction.

In a nuclear fission reaction, the nucleus of larger atoms are split into the nucleus of smaller atoms when fast moving neutrons are used to bombard the nucleus of the large atom. The fission of the nucleus of the large atom results in the formation of atoms of lighter nucleus as well as more protons which then bombard more nucleus of the large atoms resulting in a chain reaction.

The chain reaction occurring within the nuclear reactor core is controlled by the insertion of boron rods which absorbs the excess neutrons produced.

An example of a reaction that occurs within the core of a nuclear reactor is given below:

²³⁵₉₂U + ¹₀n ---> ⁹⁰₃₈Sr + ¹⁴³₅₄ + 3 ¹₀n

When an electron in a 2p orbital of a particular atom makes a transition to the 2s orbital, a photon of approximate wavelength 6
Mariulka [41]

Answer:

The energy difference between these 2p and 2s orbitals is 3.07\times 10^{-19} J

Explanation:

Wavelength of the photon emitted = \lambda =646.3 nm =646.3\times 10^{-9} m

Energy of the photon will corresponds to the energy difference between 2p and 2s orbital = E

Energy of the photon is given by Planck's equation:

E=\frac{hc}{\lambda }

h = Planck's constant = 6.626\tiomes 10^{-34} Js

c = Speed of the light = 3\times 10^8 m/s

E=\frac{6.626\tiomes 10^{-34} Js\times 3\times 10^8 m/s}{646.3\times 10^{-9} m}

E=3.07\times 10^{-19} J

The energy difference between these 2p and 2s orbitals is 3.07\times 10^{-19} J

What is moment and its calculations ​
PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

Moment=Force x Pivot

Explanation:

A moment is the turning effect of a force. Moments act about a point in a clockwise or anticlockwise direction.

Law of moments:

When an object is balanced (in equilibrium) the sum of the clockwise moments is equal to the sum of the anticlockwise moments.

How to calculate moments:

Moment=Force x Pivot

Question 4, can you give me the rule for naming these?
Scorpion4ik [409]

3 ethyl, 4 methylheptane. The compound is named by first identifying the longest carbon chain in the structure. in this case the chain has seven carbon atoms thus the prefix hept-.

Next you identify the substituent groups attached to the long carbon chain and name them from the lowest value of the integer assigned to the carbon atoms from either side. From the right, the ethyl group is attached to carbon number 3 while from the left, the methyl group is attached to carbon number 4. We therefore start with the right and name the attached groups first, including the carbon atoms to which they are attached.

Then we also take into consideration the highest number of bonds between the carbon atoms which is one from the question. Thus the suffix -ane is added if a maximum of one bond, -ene,if two bonds and -yne if three bonds.
