Answer: Option (c) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
A particle that contains two protons and two neutrons bounded together is known as an alpha particle.
It is known that an alpha particle has a large mass and due to this they travel very slowly. As a result, they tend to have low velocity.
Hence, we can conclude that alpha particles cannot penetrate deeply into solids because they have low velocity.
Answer:
electrons are negatively charged and are located in the electron cloud (outside the nucleus)
The energy of a nuclear reactor gets converted to electricity by using steam. As steam converts mechanical energy to electricity.
Answer: Option C
<u>Explanation:
</u>
Nuclear reaction works on the principle of nuclear fission. The main functioning of nuclear reactor is the generation of neutrons by fission of Uranium oxide.
The rate of generation of neutrons need to be controlled in the reaction to have a controlled chain reaction which is suitable for generating electricity.
So, the controlling of rate of nuclear generation is done by moderators. The moderators are generally water or graphite in any nuclear reactor. So during these process, steam is produced in the reactor core which then flows through a turbine engine.
The steam rotates the turbines in the generator and thus the mechanical energy of the turbine during rotation is converted as the electrical energy in the generator.
the oxygen atom
Explanation:
Water is a molecular compound consisting of polar molecules that have a bent shape. The oxygen atom acquires a partial negative charge while the hydrogen atom acquires a partial positive charge.
