How does a nuclear reactor produce electricity

Chemistry
1 answer:
kaheart [24]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Explanation:

Nuclear reactors are the heart of a nuclear power plant. They contain and control nuclear chain reactions that produce heat through a physical process called fission. That heat is used to make steam that spins a turbine to create electricity. Nuclear power plants use heat produced during nuclear fission to heat water. The heat produced during nuclear fission in the reactor core is used to boil water into steam, which turns the blades of a steam turbine. As the turbine blades turn, they drive generators that make electricity

Please help.
mojhsa [17]

Explanation: An element is represented in the form of _{A}^{Z}\textrm{X} where,

X = Symbol of the element

A = Atomic Mass of the element X

Z = Atomic Number of element X

Hence, For the element Justwondoricium,

Symbol = Jw

Atomic number = 120

Atomic Mass = 224

Now, Atomic number = Number of electrons = Number of Protons

Number of electrons = 120

Number of Protons = 120

and Atomic Mass = Number of neutrons + Number of protons

Number of neutrons can be calculated as we know atomic mass and number of neutrons, Putting the numbers we get

Number of neutrons = 224 - 120 = 104

The nearest noble gas to the element having atomic number 120 is Oganesson (Og), which has an atomic number of 118, so the next two electrons will be filled in the 8s orbital.

Electronic Configuration of Jw is [Og]8s^2

This electronic configuration lets us know about the location of the element in periodic table.

As the electron is entering the 8th shell, it belongs to the 8th period and as the last electron enters the s-orbital, it belongs to the S-block of the periodic table.

When the s-electrons are 1, it belongs to Group 1.

When the s-electrons are 2, it belongs to Group 2.

As this element has 2 s-electrons, it belongs to the Group 2.
