Multiple Choice

What is our unit question?

• What is U-235, and what does it do?

• Is a nuclear reaction the same as a combustion reaction?

• How can a small amount of nuclear fuel destroy a city?

• What is the chemistry of nuclear reactions?

Multiple Choice

What is the difference between these two atoms?

• They are both Uranium atoms.

• U-235 has fewer neutrons, so it is less stable and will split.

• U-238 has fewer neutrons, so it is less table and will split

• U-238 has the same amount of protons ans U-235

Multiple Choice

What is this picture representing?

• A nuclear chain reaction

• The tiny yellow dots are neutrons

• One U-235 atom will split many time.

• One U-235 atom will split, making 3 neutrons

Multiple Choice

In this picture, the bottom numbers represent _?

• The mass of that particle

• The mass of uranium

• The number of protons for uranium

• The number of protons for different particles.

Multiple Choice

If a nuclear reaction releases 3.2x10-11 J of energy for every U-235 atom that splits, how much energy is released when 1,000,000 U-235 atoms split.

Multiple Choice

What is an isotope?

• The same atom with different numbers of neutrons.

• The same neutrons, with the same number of protons.

• Where are three particples, neutrons, protons and electrons are different.

• The same number or protons, which different numbers of electrons.

Multiple Choice

What is the role of a neutron?

• stabilize the whole atom.

• make the nucleus of an atom split.

• stablize the nucleus of the atom because of the appropriate ratio of P's to N's.

• stablize the nucleus of the atom because of the appropriate ratio of P's to E's.

Fill in the Blanks

The nucleus of an atom is held together because of the _, which keeps the positive protons from repelling.
