How does the fission of uranium-235 produce a chain reaction?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Helga [31]3 years ago
3 0
If an least one neutron from U-235 fission<span> strikes another nucleus and causes it to fission, then the chain reaction will continue. If the reaction will sustain itself, it is said to be "critical", and the mass of U-235 required to produced the critical condition is said to be a "</span>critical mass<span>". A critical chain reaction can be achieved at low concentrations of U-235 if the neutrons from fission are </span>moderated<span> to lower their speed, since the probability for fission with slow neutrons is greater.  Hope that helps ya.</span>

How does the structure of covalent bonds affects their structure.
Black_prince [1.1K]
Covalent bond is a type of chemical bond which is formed as a result of sharing of electron pairs among the elements that are involved. The structure of the covalent bond is affected by the electronegativity of the elements involved. The molecules joined by covalent bond range in size from very small to very large polymers. There are different types of structures for covalent substances, these include: macromolecular substances, molecular substances and giant covalent structures. Strong bonds hold individual molecules together but there are negligible forces of attraction among them.
