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.

What limitation is placed on electrons in the bohr model of the atom?
Olegator [25]
I thinking the limitation is that a shifting electron will always move from a more excited states to a less excited state. Electrons could not circle the nucleus because they would lose energy by emitting electromagnetic radiation and spiral into the nucleus. In addition Bohr was not able to explain electrons orbits of large atom w/many electrons.

describe how the discoveries of scientist over time have contributed to our current understanding of atom
Olenka [21]

Answer:

In 1897, the British physicist J. J. Thomson (1856–1940) proved that atoms were not the most basic form of matter. He demonstrated that cathode rays could be deflected, or bent, by magnetic or electric fields, which indicated that cathode rays consist of charged particles (Figure  2.2.2 ). More important, by measuring the extent of the deflection of the cathode rays in magnetic or electric fields of various strengths, Thomson was able to calculate the mass-to-charge ratio of the particles. These particles were emitted by the negatively charged cathode and repelled by the negative terminal of an electric field. Because like charges repel each other and opposite charges attract, Thomson concluded that the particles had a net negative charge; these particles are now called electrons. Most relevant to the field of chemistry, Thomson found that the mass-to-charge ratio of cathode rays is independent of the nature of the metal electrodes or the gas, which suggested that electrons were fundamental components of all atoms.
