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.
Answer:
Br- Withdraws electrons inductively
Donates electrons by resonance
CH2CH3 - Donates electrons by hyperconjugation
NHCH3- Withdraws electrons inductively
Donates electrons by resonance
OCH3 - Withdraws electrons inductively
Donates electrons by resonance
+N(CH3)3 - Withdraws electrons inductively
Explanation:
A chemical moiety may withdraw or donate electrons by resonance or inductive effect.
Halogens are electronegative elements hence they withdraw electrons by inductive effect. However, they also contain lone pairs so the can donate electrons by resonance.
Alkyl groups donate electrons by hyperconjugation involving hydrogen atoms.
-NHCH3 and contain species that have lone pair of electrons which can be donated by resonance. Also, the nitrogen and oxygen atoms are very electron withdrawing making the carbon atom to have a -I inductive effect.
+N(CH3)3 have no lone pair and is strongly electron withdrawing by inductive effects.
Answer: D (6.04) is the best answer
Explanation:
pOH = - log [OH⁻]
pOH = - log (9.0 x 10⁻⁷)
pOH = 6.0457
