Nuclear fusion and nuclear fission are two different types of energy-releasing reactions that occur in the nuclei of an atom.
Here are the major differences between the two:
1. To differentiate the two, fission is the splitting of an atom into two or more smaller atoms while fusion is the conjoining or fusion of two or smaller atoms into larger one.
2. Fission does not normally occur in nature while fusion occurs mostly in heavenly bodies such as the stars.
3.Fission produces highly radioactive particles that can be hazardous to both the living things and its habitat or environment while fusion is "clean energy" and "environmental friendly" meaning there are fewer radioactive particles are produced. But if a fission "trigger" is being used, there will be radioactive particles produced.
Among the two nuclear changes, fission is widely used because this reaction produces heat in nuclear reactor. This heat is used to generate steam which operates the turbines to eventually produce electricity.
Answer:
1. 0.178 moles ; 2. 8x10²³ atoms ; 3. 7.22x10²³ molecules ; 4. 89.6 g ; 5. 1.34x10²² atoms ; 6. 1.67x10²⁵ molecules
Explanation:
1. Mass / Molar mass = Mol
5g / 28 g/m = 0.178 moles
2. 1 molecule of N₂ has 2 atoms, it is a dyatomic molecule.
4x10²³ x2 = 8x10²³ atoms
3. 1 mol of anything, has 6.02x10²³ particles
6.02x10²³ molecules . 1.2 mol = 7.22x10²³
4. 1 atom of C weighs 12 amu.
4.5x10²⁴ weigh ( 4.5x10²⁴ . 12) = 5.24x10²⁵ amu
1 amu = 1.66054x10⁻²⁴g
5.24x10²⁵ amu = (5.24x10²⁵ . 1.66054x10⁻²⁴) = 89.6 g
5. Molar mass NaCl = 58.45 g/m
1.3 g / 58.45 g/m = 0.0222 moles
1 mol has 6.02x10²³ atoms
0.0222 moles → ( 0.0222 . 6.02x10²³) = 1.34x10²²
6. Density of water is 1 g/mL, so 500 mL are contained in 500 g of water
Molar mass H₂O = 18 g/m
500 g / 18 g/m = 27.8 moles
6.02x10²³ molecules . 27.8 moles = 1.67x10²⁵
The formula for magnesium chlorate is Mg(ClO3)2.
Answer: (3) The difference in electronegativity between carbon and oxygen is greater than that between fluorine and oxygen.
Explanation: Polarity of a molecule is due to the difference in electronegativity of the atoms. More is the electronegativity difference, more is the polarity.
Electronegativity of carbon = 2.5
Electronegativity of oxygen = 3.5
Electronegativity of fluorine = 4.0
Thus the difference in electronegativity of carbon and oxygen is=(3.5-2.5)= 1.0
Thus the difference in electronegativity of fluorine and oxygen is=(4.0-3.5)= 0.5.
Thus C-O bond is more polar than F-O bond.
Answer:
D. Positively charged particles
Explanation:
Negatively charged particles are attracted to positively charged particles and repelled against negatively charged particles
