What physical properties dose plutonium

Physics
1 answer:
Minchanka [31]2 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Explanation:

Plutonium-239 is one of the two fissile materials used for the production of nuclear weapons and in some nuclear reactors as a source of energy. The other fissile material is uranium-235. Plutonium-239 is virtually nonexistent in nature. It is made by bombarding uranium-238 with neutrons in a nuclear reactor. Uranium-238 is present in quantity in most reactor fuel; hence plutonium-239 is continuously made in these reactors. Since plutonium-239 can itself be split by neutrons to release energy, plutonium-239 provides a portion of the energy generation in a nuclear reactor.

If the radius of an atom is 60 pm and the radius of the Earth is 6000 km, by how many orders of
kherson [118]

Answer:

1 x 10¹⁷

               

Explanation:

Given data:

        Radius of the earth  = 6000km

        Radius of an atom  = 60pm

Now, how many orders is the radius of the earth larger than an atom

Solution:

To solve this problem, let us express both quantity as the same unit;

         1000m  = 1km

    6000km  = 6000 x 10³m   =  6 x 10⁶m

    60pm;

            1 x 10⁻¹²m  = 1pm

    60pm  = 60 x  1 x 10⁻¹²m  = 6 x 10⁻¹¹m

Now;

The order:   \frac{6 x 10^{6} }{6 x 10^{-11} }   = 1 x 10¹⁷

According to the article "Nuclear shapes" by Renee Lucas the nucleus's shape is mainly modified by vibrational and rotational features happening within the cell. According to the article if i read correctly "near closed shells spherical shapes prevail, while between closed shells the large number of valence nucleons in orbit with large particle angular momentum leads to nuclei with large deformations leading them to not only maintain its shape but also alloying it to work.
