Answer:
1. One atom splits
2. large
3. neutrons
Explanation:
In the process of nuclear fission,1__one atom splits___.Fission only happens to very 2(__large___) atoms.The Fission process usually also produces several free 3(__neutrons___).
Nuclear fission is a radioactive decay process in which heavy and unstable radioactive nucleus decays into lighter ones with the release of energy and free neutrons.
Fission differs from fusion in that in nuclear fusion, two light atoms comes together to form a large one. This process releases a very great amount of energy.
The reaction is not balanced
<h3>Further explanation</h3>
Given
Reaction
2Fe(s)+3O₂(g)⇒2Fe₂O₃(s)
Required
The number of atoms
Solution
In a balanced chemical equation, the number of atoms in the compound that reacts (the reactants and products) will have the same number
Reactants : Fe(s)+O₂(g)
Fe = 2 atoms
O = 3 x 2 = 6 atoms
Products : Fe₂O₃(s)
Fe = 2 x 2 = 4 atoms
O = 2 x 3 = 6 atoms
The reaction is not balanced because the number of Fe atoms is not the same
The balanced reaction should be:
4Fe(s)+3O₂(g)⇒2Fe₂O₃(s)
