Which option accurately describes how nuclear chemistry has affected society?
(Select all that apply)
The ability to harness the power of a nuclear fission has created a form of energy that is not dependent on fossil fuels.
The use of radioactive isotopes to date fossils and artifacts has allowed modern society to better understand geological history.
The devastation of the nuclear bomb in World War II has produced fear and distrust between countries that possess the knowledge and ability to make a nuclear bomb.
The fear of radiation poisoning from manufacturing plants has altered how cities are built.
C and D?
but a and b are true. Fission power plants and C14 dating are common.
c might be more true than not.
Perhaps d should be true in some cases.
Yeah, but I guess the question is which ones affect society more. B and C?
Personally i think all of them are true. If only ONE can be chosen I would choose a.
Two of them are supposed to be correct. Maybe A and B?
agree :)
Thank you!
Yes, options C and D accurately describe how nuclear chemistry has affected society.
Option C states that the devastation caused by the nuclear bomb in World War II has resulted in fear and distrust between countries with nuclear capabilities, which has had significant implications for international relations and geopolitics.
Option D mentions that the fear of radiation poisoning from nuclear manufacturing plants has influenced how cities are built. This refers to the emphasis on safety regulations and precautions in the construction and operation of nuclear facilities to prevent accidents and minimize the risk of radiation exposure.
To arrive at this answer, one can analyze the given options and determine how they relate to the field of nuclear chemistry and its impact on society. Understanding the historical context and the applications of nuclear chemistry helps in evaluating the accuracy of the options.
