1. A heavy nucleus (U235 or Pu239), when bombarded by slow moving neutrons, split into two
or more nuclei.
2. Two or more neutrons are produced by fission of each nucleus.
3. Huge amount of energy is produced as a result of nuclear fission.
4. All the fission fragments are radioactive, giving off β and radiations.
<span>5. The atomic weights of fission products range from about </span>70 to 160.
6. The nuclear chain reactions can be controlled and maintained steadily by absorbing a
desired number of neutrons. This process is used in nuclear reactor.
<span>7. All the fission reactions are self-propagating chain-reactions because fission products contain </span>
neutrons (secondary neutrons) which further cause fission in other nuclei.
8. Every secondary neutron, released in the fission process, does not strike a nucleus, some
escape into air and hence a chain reaction cannot be maintained.
<span>9. The number of neutrons, resulting from a single fission, is known as the multiplication factor. </span>
When the multiplication factor is less than 1, a chain reaction does not take place.
<span>10. The control of chain reaction is necessary in order to maintain a steady reaction. This is </span>
carried out by absorbing a desired number of neutron by employing materials like
percentage of Cd, B or steel.
11. In a nuclear reactor, the multifactor is one. This is achieved by proper arrangement of
<span>fissionable materials.</span>
Answer: 5
Explanation: you divide the distance by the time and get the speed.
<h2>Answer:</h2>
A) 3 atoms - 1 atom of Carbon and 2 atoms of oxygen.
B) 2 atoms of Nitrogen.
C) 6 atoms - 2 Carbon atoms, 2 Hydrogen atoms, and 2 Oxygen atoms.
<h2>Explanations:</h2>
A molecule is a group of atoms bonded together, representing the smallest fundamental unit of a chemical compound. Molecules are made up of atoms.
According to the following information, we are to find the number of atoms in the given molecules.
A) For carbon dioxide CO₂, this molecule is made of 3 atoms - 1 atom of Carbon and 2 atoms of oxygen.
B) For the compound N₂, this molecule is made up of 2 atoms of Nitrogen.
C) For the compound CHCOOH, this molecule consists of 6 atoms - 2 Carbon atoms, 2 Hydrogen atoms, and 2 Oxygen atoms.
The particles cannot move around at all. The particles are, however, still in motion.
Answer:
Examples of permineralization
Most dinosaur bones are permineralized. Petrified wood: Permineralization is the first step in petrification.
