Match the nuclear reaction to its description.
Column A
1. Forms two lighter nucleus: Fission
2. Forms one heavier nucleus: Fusion
3. cb794d20-2b7f-4bf4-a043-964706757c9a: Fission
4. 808ecb1f-d7df-46f5-9d92-076db0dd74a0: Fusion
5. Has been successfully used to generate energy: Fusion
6. Has NOT been successfully used to generate energy/electricity: Fission
To match the nuclear reactions to their descriptions, you can follow these steps:
1. Identify descriptions in Column A and the corresponding nuclear reactions in Column B.
- "Forms two lighter nucleus" matches with "Fusion" in Column B. Fusion is the process in which two lighter atomic nuclei combine to form a heavier nucleus.
- "Forms one heavier nucleus" matches with "Fission" in Column B. Fission is the process in which a heavier atomic nucleus splits into two or more lighter nuclei.
- "cb794d20-2b7f-4bf4-a043-964706757c9a" does not have a clear description in Column A.
- "808ecb1f-d7df-46f5-9d92-076db0dd74a0" does not have a clear description in Column A.
- "Has been successfully used to generate energy" matches with "Fission" in Column B. Fission reactions are the primary source of energy in nuclear power plants.
- "Has NOT been successfully used to generate energy/electricity" matches with "Fusion" in Column B. Fusion reactions have not yet been successfully harnessed for energy production on a large scale.
By matching the descriptions with their corresponding nuclear reactions in Column B, the answers would be:
1. Forms two lighter nucleus: Fusion
2. Forms one heavier nucleus: Fission
3. cb794d20-2b7f-4bf4-a043-964706757c9a: No match
4. 808ecb1f-d7df-46f5-9d92-076db0dd74a0: No match
5. Has been successfully used to generate energy: Fission
6. Has NOT been successfully used to generate energy/electricity: Fusion
