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>

WILL MARK BRAINLIEST FOR THE BEST ANSWER~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
adelina 88 [10]
There are 1,000 milligrams (mg) in one gram:
In 10 grams, there are 10 x 1,000 = 10,000 milligrams. This is a lethal dose of caffeine.

There are 4.05 mg/oz (milligrams/ounce) of caffeine in the soda. 
In a 12 ounce can, there are 4.05 x 12 = 48.6 milligrams.

How many sodas would it take to kill you?
To find this, we divide the lethal dose amount (10,000 mg) by the amount of caffeine per can (48.6 mg).
10,000 ÷ 48.6 = 205.76. 

Since 205 cans is not quite 10,000 mg, technically it would take 206 cans of soda to consume a lethal dose of caffeine.

Rank the ions in each set in order of decreasing size, and explain your ranking:
Valentin [98]

Answer:

a) Se²⁻> S²⁻ > O²

b) Te²⁻ > I- >Cs+

c)  Cs+ > Ba²⁺ > Sr²⁺

Explanation:

(a) Se²⁻, S²⁻, O²⁻

In general, ionic radius decreases with increasing positive charge.

As the charge on the ion becomes more positive, there are fewer electrons.

The ion has a smaller radius. In general, ionic radius increases with increasing negative charge.

For ions of the same charge (e.g. in the same group) the size increases as we go down a group in the periodic table

Se²⁻> S²⁻ > O²

(b) Te²⁻, Cs⁺, I⁻

Te²⁻ > I- >Cs+

Te2- hast the biggest size, because of the double negative charge.

Cs+ has the smallest size since it has the most positive charge, compared to Te2- and I-.

(c) Sr²⁺, Ba²⁺, Cs⁺

Cs+ > Ba²⁺ > Sr²⁺

Cs+ has the biggest size, because its more downward (compared to Sr2+) and more to the left (compared) ot Ba2+.

Sr2+ has the smallest size because it's more upwords (compared to Cs+ and Ba2+)
