The model below represents a nuclear reaction Atom 1 and Atom 2 are present before the reaction, and Atom 3 is produced after th
e reaction. Atom 1 Atom 2Atom 3 + energy
The model most likely represents
O a fission reaction in a nuclear power plant
O a fusion reaction in the sun
O a nuclear reaction which takes place at low pressure
O a nuclear reaction which takes place at low temperature
The model most likely represents a fusion reaction in the sun. In nuclear fusion two light atoms combines to give another third one. This third atom is more massive.
The reaction is accompanied by a great release of energy.
Model:
Atom 1 + Atom 2 ⇒ Atom 3 + energy
Nuclear fusion is the combination of small atomic nuclei into larger ones with the release of a large amount of energy.
The energy released provides the needed temperature for another set of atoms to fuse.
The process establishes a series of chain reactions and releases a great deal of energy.
