Nuclear fusion and nuclear fission are two different types of energy-releasing reactions that occur in the nuclei of an atom.
Here are the major differences between the two:
1. To differentiate the two, fission is the splitting of an atom into two or more smaller atoms while fusion is the conjoining or fusion of two or smaller atoms into larger one.
2. Fission does not normally occur in nature while fusion occurs mostly in heavenly bodies such as the stars.
3.Fission produces highly radioactive particles that can be hazardous to both the living things and its habitat or environment while fusion is "clean energy" and "environmental friendly" meaning there are fewer radioactive particles are produced. But if a fission "trigger" is being used, there will be radioactive particles produced.
Among the two nuclear changes, fission is widely used because this reaction produces heat in nuclear reactor. This heat is used to generate steam which operates the turbines to eventually produce electricity.
Basically all it is a nucleus splitting into smaller fragments and these fragments are almost equal to half of the original mass
4 orbitals. P sublevel has 3 orbitals. 2nd level has 4 orbitals. An f sublevel has 7 orbitals.
Answer:
V of Sulfur tetrafluoride is 17.2 L
Explanation:
Given data;
T = -6°C = 267K [1° C = 273 K]
n = 786 mmol of SF4 which is 0.786 mol
P = 1 atm
from ideal gas law we have
PV = nRT
where n is mole, R is gas constant, V is volume
V of Sulfur tetrafluoride is 17.2 L
Explanation:
Galileo found Venus went through the entire phase cycle, proving that she revolved completely around the Sun, as predicted by Copernicus in his heliocentric model. ... The phases of Venus could not be explained by Ptolemy's Geocentric Model. Galileo knew that the Roman Catholic Church was incorrect.
