What is the difference between nuclear fusion and nuclear fission?

True [87]

Answer:

[Fusion: Nuclei Fuse together and release energy] [Fission: Pressure and energy is released. This release of energy, is what causes the unstable atom to split to an isotope. I hope this helps!]

[isotopes can split too. At least some.]

Explanation:

Imagine you are trying to push something heavy, fusion is how you can join together and help each other to push this heavy material.

Fun fact! Heavier materials have more inertia against other forces acting on them.

You push harder, harder and harder! Until its pushed.

This will release a lot of energy which escalates to an extended length.

It might not be the finest example, it helped me to understand the basics.

Fission. Imagine having so much energy, in this case, try thinking of so many people in a tight space. What do you do? You will eventually start to escape and leave the room. This is the act of splitting the atom.

This won't be the same than how it was before.

Again, Energy is released (energy!!).

For anyone struggling with this, although it might not be the best idea, I would recommend researching the more advaced options for this topic.

This will give you a wide range of information which can develop your current knowledge about, "Nuclear Fission and Fusion."

It will be difficult, it definitely was for me when I was a child (starting to study science).

Just keep trying, you'll get it.

For the generic equilibrium HA(aq) ⇌ H+(aq) + A−(aq), which of these statements is true? For the generic equilibrium , which of

timama [110]

Answer: The correct statement is if you add the soluble salt KA to a solution of HA that is at equilibrium, the pH would increase.

Explanation:

Common ion effect is defined as the effect which occurs on equilibrium when a common ion (an ion which is already present in the solution) is added to a solution. This effect generally decreases the solubility of a solute.

Equilibrium reaction of HA and KA follows the equation:

$HA\rightleftharpoons H^{+}(aq.)+A^{-}(aq.)$

$KA\rightleftharpoons K^+(aq.)+A^{-}(aq.)$

According to Le-Chateliers principle, if there is any change in the variables of the reaction, the equilibrium will shift in the direction in order to minimize the effect.

In the equilibrium reactions, $A^-$ ion is getting increased on the product side, so the equilibrium will shift in the direction to minimize this effect, which is in the direction of HA.

Thus, the addition of KA will shift the equilibrium in the left direction.

Equilibrium constant depends on the temperature of the system. It does not have any effect on any change of pH.

pH is defined as the negative logarithm of hydrogen ions present in the solution

If the solution has high hydrogen ion concentration, then the pH will be low.
If the solution has low hydrogen ion concentration, then the pH will be high.

As, the equilibrium is shifting in the left direction, that means concentration of $H^+$ ions are getting decreases. This will increase the pH of the solution.

Hence, the correct statement is if you add the soluble salt KA to a solution of HA that is at equilibrium, the pH would increase.

Does data from mass spectrometry indicate that modern scientists have made modifications to Dalton''s model? Justify.

Gelneren [198K]

John Dalton was a scientist who proposed that all matter consists of atoms. At this stage, no one had yet discovered neutrons and the nucleus. As a result, Dalton's model consisted of a single atom i.e. the atom was the smallest object.
A mass spectrometer is an instrument that is able to see what is inside an atom. Scientists have been able to prove that the item is not the smallest object in the world. Atoms are made up of smaller objects called protons, neutrons and electrons.
We can, therefore, safely conclude that data from mass spectrometry has helped modern scientists to make modifications to Dalton's model.

The periodic table is useful because it is organized to show many patterns and trends. What property shows a decrease moving fro

Alex73 [517]

Atomic radius

Explanation:

A decrease in moving from the bottom of Group 3 to the top of the group shows an increase in trend from top to bottom.

The atomic radius of elements increases from top to bottom and decreases from the bottom to the top.

The elements in group 3 are B, Al , Ga, In and Tl

Atomic radius is taken as half of the inter-nuclear distance between two covalently bonded atoms of non-metallic elements or half of the distance between two nuclei in the solid state of metals.
Downs a group from top to bottom, atomic radii increases progressively due to successive shells being added.
This compensates for the size reducing effect of the increased nuclear charge.
