Answer:
Equation 1 - nuclear fission
Equation 2 - nuclear fusion
Explanation:
Nuclear fission is a reaction in which a large nucleus is split into smaller nuclei when it is bombarded by neutrons. The process produces more neutrons to continue the chain reaction. This is clearly depicted in equation 1 as shown in the question.
Nuclear fusion is a reaction in which two light nuclei combine in order to form a larger nuclei. This is clearly depicted in equation 2 as shown in the question.
Answer:
C) an increase in rate of reaction because reactant molecules collide with greater energy
Explanation:
Temperature is one of the factors that affect the rate of a reaction. The rate of a reaction increases with an increase in temperature and vice versa. When the temperature of a reaction increases, the kinetic energy of the reactant molecules increases causing them to react at a faster rate.
The reactant molecules respond to an increase in temperature by colliding at a faster rate due to an increased kinetic energy between the reactant molecules.
Answer:
See Explanation
Explanation:
Ionization energy refers to the energy required to remove an electron from an atom. Metals have lower ionization energy than non metals since ionization energy increases across a period.
One thing that we must have in mind is that it takes much more energy to remove an electron from an inner filled shell than it takes to remove an electron from an outermost incompletely filled shell.
Now let us consider the case of magnesium which has two outermost electrons. Between IE2 and IE3 we have now moved to an inner filled shell(IE3 refers to removal of electrons from the inner second shell) and a lot of energy is required to remove an electron from this inner filled shell, hence the jump.
For aluminium having three outermost electrons, there is a jump between IE3 and IE4 because IE4 deals with electron removal from a second inner filled shell and a lot of energy is involved in the process hence the jump.
Hence a jump occurs each time electrons are removed from an inner filled shell.
Great question, but I believe you are mixing up atomic number with mass number. Assuming you are, 12.011 amu is the average mass of a carbon atom. For carbon, it can come in three forms: carbon-12, carbon-13, carbon-14. The number following carbon is the mass number of that particular carbon "isotope". The reason the average is so close to 12 is because carbon-12 is by far the most common, so the average should be (and is) very close to 12. Therefore, 12.011 is a weighted average of all carbon molecules, and carbon-14 is a particular carbon molecule that weighs 14 amu.
