Answer:

Fusion

Explanation:

A chemical reaction can be defined as a reaction in which two or more atoms of a chemical element react to form a chemical compound.

On the other hand, a nuclear reaction can be defined as a reaction in which the nucleus of an atom is transformed by being joined (fusion) or split (fission) with the nucleus of another atom of a radioactive element.

This ultimately implies that, during fusion, two smaller atoms fuse to form a larger atom. Thus, fusion involves the joining of two smaller nuclei of atoms to form a single massive or heavier nucleus with the release of energy.

Additionally, the energy that holds the neutrons and protons found in the nucleus of an atom together is known as Nuclear energy.

DanielleElmas [232]

Answer:

 The neutron core is completely destroyed

Explanation:

 A earth - supernova is an explosion resulting to the death of a star that occurs close enough to the earth but this does not completely destroy a star. Supernovae are the most violent explosions in the universe. But they do not explode like a bomb explodes, blowing away every bit of the original bomb. Rather, when a star explodes into a supernova, its core survives. The reason for this is that the explosion is caused by a gravitational rebound effect and not by a chemical reaction. Stars are so large that the gravitational forces holding them together are strong enough to keep the nuclear reactions from blowing them apart. It is the gravitational rebound that blows apart a star in a supernova.

The radioactive isotope U-238 has protons and neutrons.
Archy [21]

Answer:

92 protons, 146 neutrons

Explanation:

Uranium will always have the same amount of protons, because that is what defines the element. Uranium has 92 protons, meaning that the rest of the mass of the atom comes from neutrons. 238-92=146 neutrons. Hope this helps!

Imagine a particular exoplanet covered in an ocean of liquid methane. At the surface of the ocean, the acceleration of gravity i
AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Atmospheric pressure = 7 x 10⁴ Pa

force on  a disk-shaped region 2.00 m in radius at the surface of the ocean due to atmosphere  = pressure x area

= 7 x 10⁴ x 3.14 x 2 x 2

= 87.92 x 10⁴ N

b )

weight, on this exoplanet, of a 10.0 m deep cylindrical column of methane with radius 2.00 m

Pressure x area

height x density x acceleration of gravity x π r²

= 10 x 415 x 6.2 x 3.14 x 2 x 2

=323168.8 N

c ) Pressure at a depth of 10 m

atmospheric pressure + pressure due to liquid column

= 7 x 10⁴ + 10 x 415 x 6.2 ( hρg)

= 7 x 10⁴ + 10 x 415 x 6.2

(7 + 2.57 )x 10⁴ Pa

9.57 x 10⁴ Pa

What happens to air as it warms ,expands and become less dense
AleksandrR [38]
Air expands as it warms. Therefore warm air is less dense than cool air. The warm air from the first floor apartments rises to the second floor. People on the second floor require less heating to keep their <span>apartments comfortable.
