Answer:The first task of a nuclear weapon design is to rapidly assemble a supercritical mass of fissile uranium or plutonium. A supercritical mass is one in which the percentage of fission-produced neutrons captured by another fissile nucleus is large enough that each fission event, on average, causes more than one additional fission event. Once the critical mass is assembled, at maximum density, a burst of neutrons is supplied to start as many chain reactions as possible. Early weapons used a modulated neutron generator codenamed "Urchin" inside the pit containing polonium-210 and beryllium separated by a thin barrier. Implosion of the pit crushed the neutron generator, mixing the two metals, thereby allowing alpha particles from the polonium to interact with beryllium to produce free neutrons. In modern weapons, the neutron generator is a high-voltage vacuum tube containing a particle accelerator which bombards a deuterium/tritium-metal hydride target with deuterium and tritium ions. The resulting small-scale fusion produces neutrons at a protected location outside the physics package, from which they penetrate the pit. This method allows better control of the timing of chain reaction initiation.
Explanation:
Answer:
a. 3-methylbutan-2-ol
b. 2-methylcyclohexan-1-ol
Explanation:
For this reaction, we must remember that the hydroboration is an <u>"anti-Markovnikov" reaction</u>. This means that the "OH" will be added at the <em>least substituted carbon of the double bond.</em>
In the case of <u>2-methyl-2-butene</u>, the double bond is between carbons 2 and 3. Carbon 2 has two bonds with two methyls and carbon 3 is attached to 1 carbon. Therefore <u>the "OH" will be added to carbon three</u> producing <u>3-methylbutan-2-ol</u>.
For 1-methylcyclohexene, the double bond is between carbons 1 and 2. Carbon 1 is attached to two carbons (carbons 6 and 7) and carbon 2 is attached to one carbon (carbon 3). Therefore<u> the "OH" will be added to carbon 2</u> producing <u>2-methylcyclohexan-1-ol</u>.
See figure 1

Answer:
603 mL
Explanation:
A milliliter is a unit of volume equal to 1/1000th of a liter. It is the same as a cubic centimeter.
Yes, that's correct. It's the tepid latitude.
Answer:
Answer is below with the steps in order
Explanation:
4) Blood picks up carbon dioxide from the body
7) Heart pumps carbon dioxide rich blood to the lungs
8) Inhale
9) Nose traps germs in air
10) Air moves down the trachea
3) Air moves through bronchi into the bronchioles
6) Alveoli receive oxygen pass to blood
9) Oxygen passes into the blood
11) Alveoli receives carbon dioxide from the blood
12) Oxygen-rcih blood flows to the heart
3) Carbon Dioxide moves from bonchioles to bronchi
13)Carbon dioxide flows up
1) Heart pumps oxygen-rich blood to the body
The last <em>four of five</em> steps could be switched up a little bit since it all happens synchronously, but this is the most accurate interpretation.
