Nuclear power plants produce energy in terms of electricity from radioactive materials. These elements are highly unstable due to their high neutron-to-proton ratio. That's why they spontaneously decay by giving off sub-atomic particles which yields a new element. So, nuclear reactions, fission and fusion, produce 'clean' energy because they do not produce gaseous by-products that could harm the environment. They only yield radioactive materials that could be harmful to the health of people nearby the area. Because of this risk, safety precautions are needed in a nuclear power plant.

Smokestacks are no longer used in nuclear power plants because there are no gases. So, the first choice is eliminated. Next, you should NOT ventilate the radioactive materials. Remember this radiation travels through all types of matter so it is harmful. These type of materials are strictly contained and handled. The third choice is correct because it prevents radiation to reach the outside environment. The last option, on the other hand, is not justifiable. Before a nuclear power plant is approved by the government, it is made sure that all its employees and employers are inherently safe. Otherwise, it would not be put into operation.

Therefore, the answer is letter C.

Why is salt an ionic bond? Why is salt an ionic bond?
yaroslaw [1]
: If you mean table salt i.e. sodium chloride. It is held together by ionic bonds between sodium (Na+) and chloride (Cl-) ions. The sodium ions have a positive charge and the chlorine ions have a negative charge. Since opposite charges attract, they form ionic bonds. Ionic bonds are nothing more than the attraction between positive and negative ions.

stiks02 [169]

Answer:

Explanation:(differences)SOLIDS have maximum intermolecular attraction and fixed shape so their particles are stable. LIQUIDS have small particles and are tightly held by molecular bond but not as tight as solid. liquid assume the shape of their container.GAS has free movement of particles...SIMILARITIES.. Liquid,solid and gases can be kept in containers...

balandron [24]

Answer:

<em>At equilibrium, the rate of the forward, and the reverse reactions are equal.</em>

Explanation:

In an equilibrium chemical reaction, the rate of forward reaction, is equal to the rate of reverse reaction. Note that the reactions does not cease at equilibrium, but rather, the reactants are converted to product, at the same rate at which the product is also being converted into the reactants in the reaction. When chemical equilibrium is reached, a careful calculation of the value of equilibrium constant is approximately equal to 1.

NB: If the value of equilibrium constant is far far greater than 1, then the reaction will favors more of the forward reaction, and if far far less than 1, the reaction will favor more of the reverse reaction.
