Which best describes nuclear fission

Chemistry
2 answers:
Firlakuza [10]3 years ago

<span>Nuclear fission is either a nuclear reaction or radio active decay process in which nucleus (the center) of an atom splits into smaller parts called nuclei. This is an extremely exothermic reaction (i.e a reaction which produces heat) resulting into release of massive amount of energy in the form of heat and sometimes light. The reaction produces much more energy as compared to a similar mass of a conventional fuel, such as Petrol/Kerosene/Petroleum Gas etc. This makes Nuclear fission an extremely dense and at times very destructive source of energy. Some common elements capable of Nuclear fission are Uranium, Plutonium etc. Though in modern days Nuclear Fission are finding application in being a source of energy (such as a Nuclear power plant), but they are also used in destructive format as Nuclear Bombs and it's one of the top most imminent threats to the existence of humanity in future (in the event of a Nuclear war).</span>

The O2 molecule breaks apart at lower wavelengths than the O3 molecule. What is the main reason for this?
kozerog [31]

The main reason for this is Average bond of O₂ is shorter and strong from O₃.

<h3>What is ozone?</h3>

Ozone is a blue gas composed of three oxygen atoms bonded together.

It occurs naturally high up in the Earth's atmosphere, where it protects the surface from harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays,

UV radiation will dissociate ozone into an oxygen atom and an oxygen molecule.

Ozone molecules are tetrahedral so the bond angle is  109 degree the electrons in the double bond occupy more space that the non-bonding electron pair.

Oxygen has a small size that leads to smaller O-O bond length.

A lone pair of electrons on both the oxygen repel each other leading to weakening of O-O bond.

O3 has longer and weaker bonds than O2, whereas SO2 has shorter and stronger bonds than SO.

Molecular oxygen, O2, is photolyzed by light of 241 nm and has a bond energy of 498 kJ/mol.

The main reason for this is Average bond of O₂ is shorter and strong from O₃.

In a c-br bond, the carbon has a partial negative charge. true or false
drek231 [11]
Yes its True. If we consider the electronegativity difference of Carbon and Bromine it is,

                            E.N of Bromine =  2.96

                            E.N of Carbon   =  2.55
                                                        _________

                             E.N difference  =  0.41

As the E.N difference is greater than 0.4 so this bond is slightly polar. And Bromine more electronegative than carbon will attract the electrons density towards itself making carbon partial positive, and itself partial negative.

HELP PLZ ITS A TEST.
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

The answer to your question is below

Explanation:

1 ) Which of the following is a chemical property.

A. Ability to become magnetic  this is wrong, it's a physical property

B. Ability to conduct electricity   this is wrong, it's a physical property

C. Ability to conduct heat   this is wrong, it's a physical property

D. Ability to react with acid This is the right answer

2 ) You heat two substances, A and B. Both substances change color. When cooled, substance B returns to its original color, but substance A does not. What most likely happened?.

A. Physical change occurred in both substances   This is wrong, a physial change only happens in substance B

B. A physical change occurred in substance A, and a chemical change occured in substance B.  This is wrong, a physical change occurred in substance B and a chemical change occurred in substance A.

C. A chemical change occurred in substance A, and a physical change occurred in substance B.  This is the right answer is exactly what happens

D. A chemical change occurred in both substances  This answer is wrong.

3 ) how many grams are in 2.5 pound sample? Express your answer in scientific notation with three significant figures. ( 1 pound= 453.592 grams).

Rule of three

    1 pound ------------------- 453.592 g

  2.5 pounds ---------------   x

  x = 2.5(453.592)/1

  x = 1133.98 g = 1.13 x 10³ g    letter D
