Good morning!

<span>It requires extremely high temperatures to begin the reaction.

</span>
While nuclear fusion involves the union of atoms, fission is the breaking of an atomic nucleus into two smaller parts. For this to happen it is necessary that the atom reaches a very high temperature.

Answer: The correct answer is its chain reactions can be initiated by neutrons.

Explanation: There are 2 types of nuclear reactions:

1. Nuclear fission reaction: In these type of reaction, one larger nuclei breaks down into two or more smaller nuclie's. Its chain reaction is initiated when the nucleus is struck with neutrons.

2. Nuclear fusion reactions: In these type of reaction, two small nuclei combine together to form a single large molecule. This type of reaction requires high temperature to occur.

Both these reactions occur due to the change in the nuclei of an atom.

From the above information, the nuclear fission chain reactions re initiated by the neutrons.

When a bottle of soft drink is shaken violently, CO2 gas escapes from solution and
jeka94

Answer:

The pressure decrease with the passage of time due to again dissolution of carbon-dioxide gas in the liquid solution.

Explanation:

In soft drinks, the carbon-dioxide gas is added in the drinks with high pressure because carbon-dioxide is a gas which is insoluble in soft drink at room temperature but soluble in the drinks at high pressure so when the pressure is removed from the soft drink, the carbon-dioxide gas releases in the air with the passage of time. But in close bottle , there is no place of escape so it again dissolve in the solution.

Is this atom more likely to gain electrons or to lose electrons? Explain how you can tell
elena55 [62]

Answer:

Likely to gain electrons

Explanation:

The atom shown is likely to gain additional electrons to complete its electronic configuration.

  • Since this is a neutral specie, the number of protons and electrons are the same.
  • The atom has 16 electrons
  • the number of valence electrons is 6
  • If the atom gains two additional electrons, the octet configuration is attained
  • Also, the atom can lose 6 electrons to become an octet

The atom will prefer to gain additional 2 electrons to give an octet configuration.
