1. A heavy nucleus (U235 or Pu239), when bombarded by slow moving neutrons, split into two
or more nuclei.
2. Two or more neutrons are produced by fission of each nucleus.
3. Huge amount of energy is produced as a result of nuclear fission.
4. All the fission fragments are radioactive, giving off β and radiations.
<span>5. The atomic weights of fission products range from about </span>70 to 160.
6. The nuclear chain reactions can be controlled and maintained steadily by absorbing a
desired number of neutrons. This process is used in nuclear reactor.
<span>7. All the fission reactions are self-propagating chain-reactions because fission products contain </span>
neutrons (secondary neutrons) which further cause fission in other nuclei.
8. Every secondary neutron, released in the fission process, does not strike a nucleus, some
escape into air and hence a chain reaction cannot be maintained.
<span>9. The number of neutrons, resulting from a single fission, is known as the multiplication factor. </span>
When the multiplication factor is less than 1, a chain reaction does not take place.
<span>10. The control of chain reaction is necessary in order to maintain a steady reaction. This is </span>
carried out by absorbing a desired number of neutron by employing materials like
percentage of Cd, B or steel.
11. In a nuclear reactor, the multifactor is one. This is achieved by proper arrangement of
<span>fissionable materials.</span>

Answer:
A) Q + XZ = X + QZ is a single displacement reaction.
B) Q + Z = QZ is a synthesis reaction
C) QT = Q + T is a decomposition reaction
D) QT + XZ = QZ + XT is double replacement reaction.
Explanation:
A) Q + XZ = X + QZ
This is a single displacement reaction because it is one in which one element is substituted for another one in a compound. In this case X is substituted for Q.
B) Q + Z = QZ
This is a synthesis reaction because Q and z combine to form a single product QZ.
C) QT = Q + T
This is a decomposition reaction because the compound QT breaks down to form 2 simpler substances Q and T.
D) QT + XZ = QZ + XT
Thus is a double replacement reaction because QT and XZ have exchanged cations to form new compounds QZ and XT
