Health hazards that are associated with uranium mining

Uranium is a radioactive substance that is used for generation of the thermal energy in the nuclear power plant. But uranium mining and processing is associated with numerous health effects related with the exposure to the radioactive decay products. The person may either inhale, ingest or the toxins can also seep inside the tissues through cut. The radioactive waste are responsible for causing drastic mutations and cancer.

<h3>What is Uranium mining ?</h3>

The process of removing uranium ore from the earth is known as uranium mining. In 2019, 53,656 tonnes of uranium were produced globally. The top three uranium producers are Kazakhstan, Canada, and Australia, who together produce 68% of the world's uranium.

  • The impacts of uranium mining are extensive, causing radioactive dust, radon gas, water-borne poisons, and higher background radiation levels in the environment. In order to produce nuclear energy and nuclear weapons, uranium must first be mined.

Given the following Fischer projection: Fischer projection for an entantiomer of 2-bromo-2,3-dihydroxypropanal with the bromine
harina [27]

Answer:

Explanation:

Stereoisomers are two or more atoms that  have the same bonding order of atoms but there is a difference  spatial arrangement of  the  atoms in space.

A plane of symmetry divides a molecule into two equal halves.

A chiral stereoisomer are not superimposed on a mirror image , Hence they do not posses a plane of symmetry.

As a result to that. these non-superimposable mirror images are said to be Enantiomers.

However, a Fischer Projection emanates from a two - dimensional figure which is used for presenting a three - dimensional organic molecules.

From the given question;

Fischer projection for an enantiomer of 2-bromo-2,3-dihydroxypropanal with the bromine oriented horizontally to the left and the hydroxide group oriented horizontally to the right.

we can sketch the way the enantiomer of 2-bromo-2,3-dihydroxypropanal can  be seen like the one shown below:

              CH₂OH

                   |

                   |

                   |

Br -------------|----------------OH

                   |

                   |

                   |

                 CHO

The objective of this question is to drawn the perspective formula of the molecule.

So , from the attached file below; we can see the perspective formula of the molecule in a well structured 3-D format.
