Compare and contrast between nuclear fission and fusion

Chemistry
1 answer:
Drupady [299]3 years ago
8 0

Both create energy. Both require atoms.

Fission is ripping the atoms apart, fusion is forcing them together. Fission takes less energy because it's easier to rip unstable atoms apart but pushing two atoms that have similar charges together is extremely hard. Fission is currently mainstream on earth, but fusion is known for taking place within stars.

Lithium β is a solid phase of lithium still unknown to science. The only difference between it and ordinary lithium is that Lith
pychu [463]

Answer:

The density of Lithium β is 0.5798 g/cm³

Explanation:

For a face centered cubic (FCC) structure, there are total number of 4 atoms in the unit cell.

we need to calculate the mass of these atoms because density is mass per unit volume.

Atomic mass of Lithium is 6.94 g/mol

Then we calculate the mass of four atoms;

= 4 .atoms*\frac{1.mole}{6.022 X10^{23} .atoms} *\frac{6.94g}{mole} = 4.6097 X10^{-23} g

⇒next, we estimate the volume of the unit cell in cubic centimeter

given the edge length or lattice constant a = 0.43nm

a = 0.43nm = 0.43 X 10⁻⁹ m = 0.43 X 10⁻⁹ X 10² cm = 4.3 X 10⁻⁸cm

Volume of the unit cell = a³ = (4.3 X 10⁻⁸cm)³ = 7.9507 X 10⁻²³ cm³

⇒Finally, we calculate the density of Lithium β

Density = mass/volume

Density = (4.6097 X 10⁻²³ g)/(7.9507 X 10⁻²³ cm³)

Density = 0.5798 g/cm³

An unknown substance has a melting point of -77°C. Is this substance likely to be an ionic compound?
pentagon [3]

Answer:

No. it,s not possible.

Explanation:

Because you know that ionic compound is having large inter-molecular forces. -77C* is for a compound having v.very small inter-molecular forces.you must know that M.B is directly varing with inter-molecular forces.

What’s the answer to this science problem?
Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

The image is not accurate because

the heavier atoms are moving faster than the lighter ones

but the lighter ones must move faster than the heavier ones.

Explanation:

The image depicts the atoms of two different elements; atoms of lighter and heavier elements.

And the rate of diffusion (movement of atoms) of an element is inversely proportional to the square root of its molecular.

⇒ As the weight increases, the rate of diffusion (movement of atoms) decreases.

And as the weight decreases, the rate of diffusion (movement of atoms) increases.

so, heavier atoms move slowly compared to lighter atoms.

The image is not accurate because

the heavier atoms are moving faster than the lighter ones

but the lighter ones must move faster than the heavier ones.
