Which statement best describes the process of nuclear fusion?

Chemistry
1 answer:
victus00 [196]4 years ago
4 0

Answer:

a. Smaller nuclei combine to make a larger nucleus.

Explanation:

Nuclear fusion is the process by which several atomic nuclei of similar charge bind and form a heavier nucleus.

In order for fusion to occur, an important energy barrier produced by electrostatic force must be overcome. Over long distances, two nuclei repel each other due to the electrostatic repulsion force between their protons, positively charged. However, if two nuclei can be approached sufficiently, due to the strong nuclear interaction, which is greater over short distances, electrostatic repulsion can be overcome, and fusion takes place.

zimovet [89]

Answer:

One triple bond and four non bonding electrons

Explanation:

In considering the lewis structure of carbon monoxide, we must remember that the molecule contains a total of ten valence electrons. Four are the valence electrons that are present on the valence shell of carbon while six are the valence electrons on oxygen. Some of these valence electrons participate in bonding in the CO molecule.

Out of the six valence electrons on oxygen, two valence electrons participate in bonding with carbon while the other four electrons remain localized on the oxygen atom as two lone pairs of electrons.

Hence there are four nonbonding electrons in the lewis structure of CO as well as one triple bond.

Nitella [24]

Answer:

Bacteria contain peptidoglycan in the cell wall; archaea do not. The cell membrane in bacteria is a lipid bilayer; in archaea, it can be a lipid bilayer or a monolayer. Bacteria contain fatty acids on the cell membrane, whereas archaea contain phytanyl.
