Column B
a.Fission
b.Fusion
1. Fusion
2. Fission
3. Fusion
4. Fission
5. Fusion
6. Fission
To match the nuclear reactions to their descriptions, we need to understand the concepts of fission and fusion.
Fission is a nuclear reaction in which a heavy nucleus splits into two lighter nuclei, releasing a large amount of energy. It is the process used in nuclear power plants to generate energy.
Fusion, on the other hand, is a nuclear reaction in which two light nuclei combine to form a heavier nucleus, again releasing a substantial amount of energy. It is the process that powers the sun and other stars.
Now, let's match the nuclear reactions in Column A to their respective descriptions in Column B:
1. Forms two lighter nucleus: This description matches with fission.
2. Forms one heavier nucleus: This description matches with fusion.
3. (cb794d20-2b7f-4bf4-a043-964706757c9a): This is an unknown description. Please provide the correct description for this nuclear reaction.
4. (808ecb1f-d7df-46f5-9d92-076db0dd74a0): This is an unknown description. Please provide the correct description for this nuclear reaction.
5. Has been successfully used to generate energy: This description matches with fission.
6. Has NOT been successfully used to generate energy/electricity: This description matches with fusion.
To complete the matching exercise, please provide the correct descriptions for nuclear reactions number 3 and 4.
Based on the given information, the match for each nuclear reaction to its description is as follows:
1. Forms two lighter nucleus: Fusion (b)
2. Forms one heavier nucleus: Fission (a)
3. cb794d20-2b7f-4bf4-a043-964706757c9a: Not provided in the information. Please provide more details for an accurate match.
4. 808ecb1f-d7df-46f5-9d92-076db0dd74a0: Not provided in the information. Please provide more details for an accurate match.
5. Has been successfully used to generate energy: Fusion (b)
6. Has NOT been successfully used to generate energy/electricity: Fission (a)
