in terms of amounts of energy and harmful radioactive waste produced , which of the following is the most accurate comparison of

fission and fusion
Chemistry
1 answer:
Eddi Din [679]3 years ago
3 0

Explanation:

Nuclear fusion produces more energy with less radioactive waste compared to nuclear fission process.

  • In nuclear fission, a radioactive decay occurs in which a heavy nucleus spontaneously disintegrates into two lighter nuclei and several neutrons with the release of energy.
  • Nuclear fusion occurs when small atomic nuclei combines into larger ones with the release of a large amount of energy.
  • Instability of a nuclide is enough to start up a nuclear fission reaction. In some instances, a heavy nuclide is bombarded with another nuclide.
  • In nuclear fusion, the activation energy required to start up is very great.

Nuclear wastes emanating from nuclear fusion process is least compared to that of nuclear fission.

Nuclear fusion produces more energy  compared to nuclear fission process.

The product of the nuclear reaction in which 31p is subjected to neutron capture followed by alpha emission is ________.
faltersainse [42]
The product of the nuclear reaction in which 31p is subjected to neutron capture followed by alpha emission is ²⁸Al.
Nuclear reaction: ³¹P + n° → ²⁸Al + α (alpha particle).<span>
Alpha decay is radioactive decay in which an atomic nucleus emits an alpha particle (helium nucleus) and transforms into an atom with an atomic number that is reduced by two and mass number that is reduced by four.</span>

Carbon naturally occurs in two forms: diamond and graphite. Why do these two forms have very different properties?
Nookie1986 [14]
The differences in the properties of diamond and graphite is as a result of how their particles are arranged in space. This space arrangement leads to distinct crystal structures for the two compounds. In diamond, the carbon atoms are arranged in tetrahedral shape while in graphite the carbon atoms arrayed in planes.
 Hope this helps :)
