Answer:
Equation 1 - nuclear fission
Equation 2 - nuclear fusion
Explanation:
Nuclear fission is a reaction in which a large nucleus is split into smaller nuclei when it is bombarded by neutrons. The process produces more neutrons to continue the chain reaction. This is clearly depicted in equation 1 as shown in the question.
Nuclear fusion is a reaction in which two light nuclei combine in order to form a larger nuclei. This is clearly depicted in equation 2 as shown in the question.
Answer:
A...................................
Because mass is not always the same for objects made from the same material. Just because an object has the same mass as another doesn’t mean they are the same material.
Answer:
See explanation
Explanation:
The periodic table shows the atomic number and mass number of each element.
We know that the atomic number shows;
- The number of protons in the nucleus of the atom
- The number of electrons in the neutral atom of the element.
So we obtain the number of protons and electrons by looking at the atomic number shown in the periodic table.
We also know that;
Mass number = Number of protons + number of neutrons
Since number of protons = atomic number of the atom
Number of neutrons = Mass number - atomic number
Hence we obtain the number of protons by subtracting the atomic number from the mass number given in the periodic table.
