Compare and contrast nuclear fusion and nuclear fission.

Biology
1 answer:
Mnenie [13.5K]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

With nuclear fission, a large atomic nucleus (such as a uranium nucleus) breaks apart into smaller nuclei, and energy is released. With nuclear fusion, small atomic nuclei (such as hydrogen) join to become larger nuclei, and energy is released. Fusion of hydrogen releases much more energy than any other type of either fusion or fission. Note that the dividing line between heavy nuclei and light nuclei is the iron nucleus, which is at the perfect point of nuclear stability, so that neither fusion nor fission of iron nuclei would release any energy.

A: Cumulative recorder

Explanation:

B. F. Skinner was a psychologist, author, behaviorist and inventor of Operant conditioning chamber and Cumulative recorder.  The purpose of cumulative recorder was to study the rate of operant conditioning. It is a process in which behavior of an organism is modified or an organism is conditioned to perform a specific behavior through giving punishment or reward.

For example: We teach a kid that he should not touch a hot stove because it will burn his hands, or we give him a box of candies to perform a specific task or behave in a certain way. Skinner used Cumulative recorder to find the effect of certain factors on behavior or response of an organism For example: the rate at which lever was pressed by a monkey to get bananas etc.
