A. Write 2-3 sentences describing what happens to a uranium nucleus during nuclear
fission. (2 points)

b. Write 2-3 sentences explaining why nuclear fusion cannot be used in power plants, yet
can still be the original source of the electric energy used in homes. (4 points)

c. Write 3 - 4 sentences evaluating the use of nuclear fission to generate electric energy. Provide at least one point in favor of and two points against using fission. (3 points)

Through their studies of radioactive elements, they discovered nuclear fission.

The atoms then undergo nuclear fission, producing daughter nuclei and more neutrons.

Critical mass is the minimum mass of fissionable material required to sustain a nuclear fission reaction.

Imagine an energy source that is more powerful than nuclear fission or even nuclear fusion.

The products of uranium mining and nuclear fission remain radioactive for hundreds of thousands of years.

Health officials did not test for Strontium 90, a radioactive carcinogenic byproduct of nuclear fission.

And no one's going to be able to invent all the hydrogen-powered cars and nuclear fission energy we're supposed to have in the future.

The development of nuclear fission weapons and later thermonuclear fusion weapons represented an incomparable revolution in weaponry.

The element can be prepared artificially in particle accelerators and is a byproduct of nuclear fission reactions.

Nuclear fusion reactions are like nuclear fission reactions, therefore, in the respect that some quantity of mass is transformed into energy.

Before World War II, German chemists Otto Hahn and Fritz Strassmann discovered nuclear fission.

Element 109 is named meitnerium, for Lise Meitner, who was the first to realize that uranium undergoes nuclear fission.

The reason is that nuclear fission occurs best with neutrons that move at relatively modest speeds, called thermal neutrons  

The simple atom bomb owed its explosive power to the energy released by nuclear fission, or fusion.

An atomic bomb is a weapon of mass destruction which uses nuclear fission to produce vast amounts of energy.

These engines use the heat of nuclear fission to drive steam turbines, which in turn charge the batteries.  

Pellets of nuclear fuel are contained within the fuel rods of nuclear fission reactors.

It is likely that nuclear fission, hydroelectricity, wind power and direct solar power will be important sources for future electricity generation.  

Their research provided the groundwork for other modern-day solutions that use microwave energy and light to propel ships, rather than nuclear fission.

Why is the public too dumb to understand the Privy Council, too unscientific to understand genetic engineering, but is now an expert on nuclear fission? btw this is for c

A.When a large, fissile atomic nucleus such as uranium-235 absorbs a neutron, it may undergo nuclear fission.In the first step, a uranium-235 atom absorbs a neutron, and splits into two new atoms, releasing three new neutrons and a large amount of binding energy.

B. One of the biggest reasons why we haven't been able to harness power from fusion is that its energy requirements are unbelievably, terribly high. In order for fusion to occur, you need a temperature of at least 100,000,000 degrees Celsius. That's slightly more than 6 times the temperature of the Sun's core.

C. You would need less uranium to fuel it and it would generate better electricity, but its energy requirements are too high, and we would not be able to control it

Explanation:

it breaks and dirupture other materials and other sencews from the bottom

spare some change and give it to the poor
