Chapter 10, Problem 64P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

For the below process determine whether it is nuclear fusion, nuclear fission or both fusion and fission.

  • The reaction splits a nucleus into lighter nuclei.

Concept Introduction:

Both fusion and fission are the nuclear reactions which generate energy but it is to be noted that for both the applications are not equal. Fission is to split the unstable, heavy nucleus into two smaller nuclei. Fusion is the procedure where two of the nuclei combine with each other to release huge amount of energy.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

For the below process determine whether it is nuclear fusion, nuclear fission or both fusion and fission

  • The reaction joins two lighter nuclei into a heavier nucleus.

Concept Introduction:

Both fusion and fission are the nuclear reactions which generate energy but it is to be noted that for both the applications are not equal. Fission is to split the unstable, heavy nucleus into two smaller nuclei. Fusion is the procedure where two of the nuclei combine with each other to release huge amount of energy.

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

For the below process determine whether it is nuclear fusion, nuclear fission or both fusion and fission.

  • The reaction is used to generate energy in a nuclear plant.

Concept Introduction:

Both fusion and fission are the nuclear reactions which generate energy but it is to be noted that for both the applications are not equal. Fission is to split the unstable, heavy nucleus into two smaller nuclei. Fusion is the procedure where two of the nuclei combine with each other to release huge amount of energy.

Interpretation Introduction

(d)

Interpretation:

For the below process determine whether it is nuclear fusion, nuclear fission or both fusion and fission.

  • The reaction generates radioactive waste with a long half-life.

Concept Introduction:

Both fusion and fission are the nuclear reactions which generate energy but it is to be noted that for both the applications are not equal. Fission is to split the unstable, heavy nucleus into two smaller nuclei. Fusion is the procedure where two of the nuclei combine with each other to release huge amount of energy.
