What kind of toxic wastes are produced by nuclear energy?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Amiraneli [1.4K]3 years ago
5 0
Nuclear energy produces wastes in the form of spent nuclear fuels, this is normally a mixture of radioactive isotopes and heavy metals, both of which are toxic and pose a great danger to the environment. Additionally, irradiated materials surrounding the reactor which become radioactive from exposure to the radiation produced by the reactor and which should be disposed off at the end of the life of the reactor and processes involved. Also the breeder reactors convert unusable radioactive isotopes into fissionable isotopes, thus allowing more of the fuel to be used and reducing amount of fuel rod waste.

Which of these compounds is most likely to be ionic? select one:
Vlada [557]
The compound that is most likely to be ionic is BaCl2
Ionic compounds are compounds made up of ions. These ions are atoms that gain or lose electrons, giving them a net positive or negative charge. Metals tend to lose electrons, thus they become cations and have a net positive charge. Non metals tend to gain electrons, forming anions that have a net negative charge.

What is a limitation of using a chemical formula, such as C6H12O6, to represent a compound?
Kaylis [27]
The chemical formula does not show how the atoms are connected to one another.
When we write the chemical formula of any substance, we are not able to understand the spatial arrangement of that substance's atoms. This is extremely important in organic compounds, which exhibit different physical characteristics as well as different chemical characteristics due to the way their atoms are arranged in space. These isomers are known as enantiomers.
