Match the nuclear reaction to its description:
Column A
1. Forms two lighter nucleus: - b
2. Forms one heavier nucleus: - a
3. cb794d20-2b7f-4bf4-a043-964706757c9a: - b
4. 808ecb1f-d7df-46f5-9d92-076db0dd74a0: - a
5. Has been successfully used to generate energy: - b
6. Has NOT been successfully used to generate energy/electricity: - a
Column B
a. Fission
b. Fusion
To match the nuclear reactions to their descriptions, we need to understand the process of fusion and fission.
Fusion: Fusion is a nuclear reaction in which two light atomic nuclei combine to form a heavier nucleus. This process releases a significant amount of energy. It is the reaction that powers the sun and other stars.
Fission: Fission is a nuclear reaction in which the nucleus of an atom is split into two or more smaller nuclei. This process also releases a large amount of energy. Fission is commonly utilized in nuclear power plants to generate electricity.
Now let's match the descriptions in Column A with the appropriate nuclear reactions in Column B:
1. Forms two lighter nucleus:
This description corresponds to fusion. Therefore, the correct match is 1 - a.
2. Forms one heavier nucleus:
This description matches fission. Hence, the correct match is 2 - b.
3. cb794d20-2b7f-4bf4-a043-964706757c9a:
This is an unidentified description. Please provide more information or clarification to identify the correct nuclear reaction.
4. 808ecb1f-d7df-46f5-9d92-076db0dd74a0:
This is also an unidentified description. Please provide more details or clarification to identify the correct nuclear reaction.
5. Has been successfully used to generate energy:
This description aligns with both fusion and fission reactions. However, since fusion is more commonly associated with generating energy, the correct match is 5 - a.
6. Has NOT been successfully used to generate energy/electricity:
This description solely corresponds to fusion. Therefore, the correct match is 6 - b.
If you provide additional information for descriptions 3 and 4, I can help you match them to the appropriate nuclear reactions.
