What produces the large amount of energy released by a nuclear reaction?

1 answer:

3 0

Fusion power is the power generated by nuclear fusion processes. In fusion reactions, two light atomic nuclei fuse together to form a heavier nucleus. In doing so, they release a comparatively large amount of energy that arises from the binding energy, creating an increase in temperature of the reactants.

At 298 K, oxygen (O2) and ozone (O3) have different properties because their

Paha777 [63]

Answer: (3) molecules have different molecular structures.

Explanation:

1) Oxygen (O₂) and ozone (O₃) are allotropes of each other.

2) Allotropes are different structural forms of a same element with different structures and properties, when they are in the same state: solid, liquid, gas.

3) The bonds is what define the structure and properties of the substances, so since O₂ has only two bonds and O₃ has three bonds, the properties and behaviors of the element are different.

4) Other example of allotropes are graphite and diamond: two different forms of carbon. Both, graphite and diamond are formed only by carbon atoms, but they are bonded differently so, as you know, diamond and graphite have different properties: graphite is very soft while diamond is one of the hardest known substances.

O2- is the Lewis ______ in the following reaction

matrenka [14]

$O^{2-}$ is the Lewis base in the following reaction:

$SO_3(g) + O^{2-}(aq)$ → $SO_4^{2-}(aq)$

<h3>What is lewis base? </h3>

Lewis base is a species that donates an electron pair.

In the above-given chemical equation, the $O^{2-}$ is the lewis base which is donating an electron pair to the central atom of $SO_3$ to form $SO_4^{-2}$ .
