1. A heavy nucleus (U235 or Pu239), when bombarded by slow moving neutrons, split into two
or more nuclei.
2. Two or more neutrons are produced by fission of each nucleus.
3. Huge amount of energy is produced as a result of nuclear fission.
4. All the fission fragments are radioactive, giving off β and radiations.
<span>5. The atomic weights of fission products range from about </span>70 to 160.
6. The nuclear chain reactions can be controlled and maintained steadily by absorbing a
desired number of neutrons. This process is used in nuclear reactor.
<span>7. All the fission reactions are self-propagating chain-reactions because fission products contain </span>
neutrons (secondary neutrons) which further cause fission in other nuclei.
8. Every secondary neutron, released in the fission process, does not strike a nucleus, some
escape into air and hence a chain reaction cannot be maintained.
<span>9. The number of neutrons, resulting from a single fission, is known as the multiplication factor. </span>
When the multiplication factor is less than 1, a chain reaction does not take place.
<span>10. The control of chain reaction is necessary in order to maintain a steady reaction. This is </span>
carried out by absorbing a desired number of neutron by employing materials like
percentage of Cd, B or steel.
11. In a nuclear reactor, the multifactor is one. This is achieved by proper arrangement of
<span>fissionable materials.</span>
Buckyball or buckminster fullerene is the third allotrope of carbon. It contains 60 carbons which are arranged in the five and six membered rings. Buckyball is the cluster of carbon atoms which are arranged in spherical shape and it forms a hollow cage.
The physical properties are:
Buckyball is made up of huge number of molecules but giant covalent bond is not exist.
The forces between the individual buckyballs are weak intermolecular forces.
The substances which are made up of buckyballs has low melting point in comparison to other allotropes of carbon as low energy is required to overcome theses intermolecular forces.
The substances which are made up of buckyballs is slippery in nature.
The solutions of buckminster fullerene are deep purple in color and upon evaporation brown residue is obtained.
Buckyball is soft in comparison to graphite and when it is compressed to less than 70 percent of its volume then, it converts into superhard form of diamond.
Answer:
Is called a diluted solution
Explanation:
Having little solute makes the dissolving process in a large amount of solvent very easy to mix therefore it dilutes in the solvent
During the summer, when the land is brown and the grass is green, the population of mice decreases because mice are easily spotted by the organisms that eat them.
How would this change affect the food web? Check all that apply.
A. It will increase the grass population.
D. It will decrease the snake population
E. It will increase the grasshopper population
hope this helps! If so please mark brainliest and rate/heart to help my account if it did!!
