TRUE

Explanation:

Covalent bonding occurs when pairs of electrons are shared by atoms. Atoms will covalently bond with other atoms in order to gain more stability. By sharing their outer most electrons, atoms can fill up their outer electron shell and gain stability. So, it is true.

Which describes the products created from fission reactions? Question 3 options:

Ipatiy [6.2K]

<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is option A.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Nuclear fission reactions are a type of nuclear reactions in which larger nuclei breaks apart into two or more smaller fragment releasing alpha, gamma of beta particles.

There are 3 types of particles that can be released during this process:

1. Alpha particles: These particles are released when a nuclei undergoes alpha-decay process.

$_Z^A\textrm{X}\rightarrow _{Z-2}^{A-4}\textrm{Y}+_2^4\alpha$

2. Beta particles: These particles are released when a nuclei undergoes beta-minus decay process.

$_Z^A\textrm{X}\rightarrow _{Z+1}^{A}\textrm{Y}+_{-1}^0\beta$

3. Gamma radiations: these radiations are released when an unstable nuclei gives off excess energy by a process of spontaneous electromagnetic process.

$_Z^A\textrm{X}^*\rightarrow _Z^A\textrm{X}+_0^0\gamma$
