This is because U-235 decays naturally by a process known as alpha radiation. This means that it releases an alpha particle (two neutrons and two protons connected together).
Another reason that U-235 is ideal for producing nuclear power is that unlike most materials, U-235 can undergo induced fission. When a free neutron collides with a U-235 nucleus, the nucleus will usually capture the neutron and split extremely quickly. The splitting of a single U-235 atom can release roughly 200 MeV (million electron volts).
Answer:
2 and 4
Explanation:
The rest of the changes are chemical. 1 has a chemical reaction happen which makes light sticks glow. 3 is because browning the meat actually causes some new compounds to form and cause caramelization.
For 2, the oxygen is simply heating up and expanding which pops the balloon. 4 is just a phase change of water vapor to liquid water.
Atomic mass / mass number / atomic weight
(all of which mean the same thing)
