In nuclear fission heavier elements are split to make lighter elements whilst releasing energy. An atom, its nucleus to be more specific, is bombarded with neutrons. The nucleus becomes unstable and it starts to split/decay. It creates the fusion products. Neutrons and lighter elements are released; the neutrons from the nuclei of the atom(s) being split.

Answer:

Explanation:

It is the process in which a heavy nucleus is divided into two nuclei with smaller mass numbers, that is, lighter ones. This process provides enormous amounts of energy and consumes relatively small masses of material.

In general, when capturing a neutron, a heavy atomic nucleus experiences fission to produce two lighter nuclides, neutrons and large amounts of energy as depicted in the attached image.

Hot water kept in a plate cools down faster then kept in a glass?
ahrayia [7]
It happens so because,
we know that evaporation is a surface phenomenon. If surface area is increased, the rate of evaporation increases. That's why when we pour hot water in a plate it cools faster.

Why is water considered a renewable resource?
Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

Water is a renewable resource because it evaporates out of the oceans to clouds, which generate rain falling on the land. The water then runs into rivers and dams where it is used and the waste is partially cleaned before it makes its route to the sea, where the cycle begins again.

The ozone "hole" over Antarctica formed as the result of a series of chemical reactions. The loss occurs in part through three c
mixer [17]

Answer:

A)

Cl + O3 --> ClO + O2

2ClO --> ClOOCl

ClOOCl --> 2 Cl + O2

B)

Cl2 + 4O3 -> 2 ClO + 5O2

Explanation:

Step 1: Chlorine atoms react with ozone (O3) to form chlorine monoxide and molecular oxygen

Cl + O3 --> ClO + O2

Step 2: Chlorine monoxide molecules combine to form ClOOCl gas

2ClO --> ClOOCl

Step 3: ClOOCl absorbs sunlight and breaks into chlorine atoms and molecular oxygen

ClOOCl --> 2 Cl + O2

B) Overall Balanced equation

Cl2 + 4O3 -> 2 ClO + 5O2
