Tags

NGSS.HS-PS1-8

This is an example of...

• Fission  reaction
• Fusion reaction
• Decomposition reaction
• Decay

Tags

NGSS.HS-PS1-8

An example of an uncontrolled fission reaction is _______________

• Nuclear power plants
• Radio active decay
• Atomic Bomb
• On the surface of the sun

Tags

NGSS.HS-PS1-8

Which of these statements correctly describes how the chain reaction occurs in nuclear fission.

• Uranium releases electrons to create   electricity
• When a nuclear fission reaction occurs, the electrons emitted can strike other nuclei in the sample, and cause them to split
• When a nuclear fission reaction occurs, the neutrons emitted can strike other nuclei in the sample, and cause them to split
•  Protons and neutrons change to electrons because the nuclei are so big
