Fission reactions are induced in nuclear power plants because they produce great amounts of energy. Often, a nucleus must be for

ced to undergo fission by being hit by another particle. A U-235 nucleus being hit with some other particle causes it to undergo fission and emit more particles. Those particles eventually hit other U-235 nuclei, which propagates the reaction. What is this type of reaction called

Answer:

Chain reaction

Explanation:

A chain reaction is a reaction that sustains itself. It has the ability to continue for a very long time without adding any more materials to the reaction system. It may be succinctly described as a self propagating reaction.

In a nuclear fission, uranium-235 is bombarded with neutrons to produce unstable uranium-236 which disintegrates to form daughter nuclei and produce more neutrons that bombard more uranium-235 and the reaction continues indefinitely.

A. how do you determine the charge of an element?
NemiM [27]

Answer:

Explanation:

A. The charge on an element is determined by the differences between the number of protons and electrons in an atom.

An atom will have no charges if the number of protons and electrons are the same.

  • When an atom loses or gains electrons, the number of electrons will either decrease or increase
  • if the number of electrons is more than the number of protons, the excess electrons is the charge on the atom. And this makes the atom become a negatively charged ion.
  • if the number of electrons is lesser than the number of protons, the deficient electrons makes the atom a positively charged ion. The number of electrons by which the atom is deficient makes the atom a positively charged ion.

Charge  = number of protons  - number of electrons

B. Electrons form the charges they do because with the charge, they become stable like the noble gases.

The desire of every atom is  to have stable electronic configuration like those of the noble gases.

A potassium atom with a configuration 2 8 8 1 will prefer to lose an electron to become an Argon atom making the ion stable.
