Answer:
nuclear energy is the cleanest and safest energy source we have available and i agree with this statement for following reasons:
1. Nuclear power is generated by a controlled chain reaction involving the splitting of atoms. A modern nuclear power plant uses the intense heat created by this reaction to heat water and create steam, which turns a turbine and generates electricity. Whereas a coal-fired plant heats water by burning coal, a nuclear plant heats it by splitting atoms. This process is called nuclear fission.
2. Nuclear fission, in simple terms, occurs when an atom splits in two, releasing a massive amount of energy and several subatomic particles called neutrons. These neutrons, in turn, hit and split other atoms, beginning and sustaining the chain reaction. Reactor operators control this reaction in a variety of ways and thus regulate the amount of heat generated and energy produced.
3. The raw fuel for this process is the metal uranium, which must be enriched before it can be used for producing energy in commercial reactors. Enrichment is necessary because mined uranium ore is around 99.3 percent uranium-238, which, in today’s commercial power plants, does not readily split upon exposure to neutrons from the fission chain reaction, and thus makes poor fuel. The other 0.7 percent of mined uranium is uranium-235, which makes excellent fuel. The number refers to the atomic mass, or the total mass of protons and neutrons that make up the atomic nucleus. This difference in mass of the same element makes them two different isotopes of uranium. The enrichment process consists essentially of increasing the percentage of uranium-235 by decreasing the percentage (via removal) of uranium-238.

From the periodic chart the only element between F and Na is Neon. Neon has one more valence electron 8 than fluorine 7, and is one energy level shy of Na.<span>

Explanation:
A basic solution is an aqueous solution containing more OH-ions than H+ions. In other words, it is an aqueous solution with a pH greater than 7. ... Examples of common basic solutions include soap or detergent dissolved in water or solutions of sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, or sodium carbonate.
Answer:
An atom
Explanation:
Because an ion is smaller than an atom and if we're talking about ions, iron would be called a Nitride ion or N3-ion, so ion come from atoms and saying that nitrogen is an atom.
Answer:
6 : Formula is for <u>cellular respiration</u>
Explanation:
C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂ → 6CO₂ + 6H₂O + ATP energy
C₆H₁₂O₆ = glucose
O₂ = oxygen
CO₂ = carbon dioxide
H₂O = water
ATP energy = Adenosine triphosphate energy
There are two types of respiration:
1. Aerobic respiration
2. Anaerobic respiration
Aerobic respiration
It is the breakdown of glucose molecule in the presence of oxygen to yield large amount of energy. Water and carbon dioxide are also produced as a byproduct.
Glucose + oxygen → carbon dioxide + water + 38ATP
Anaerobic Respiration
It is the breakdown of glucose molecule in the absence of oxygen and produce small amount of energy. Alcohol or lactic acid and carbon dioxide are also produced as byproducts.
Glucose→ lactic acid/alcohol + 2ATP + carbon dioxide
