Alpha Particles Emission Quick Check
A process in which a large nucleus splits into two or more parts is called _.
A. Radioactive decay
B. Nuclear fusion
C. Nuclear fission
D. Beta decay
1. Nuclear fission
2. two protons and two neutrons
3. The model shows alpha decay, which is a type of nuclear fission
4. No, it is not because the mass number does not change
5. Gamma emission is a type of radioactive decay, but is not a fission reaction
Samado thanks its 100% correct
Samado is right, I just took it got a 100% =)
meant to say fission
To answer this question, you need to understand the different processes involved in nuclear reactions.
A. Radioactive decay refers to the spontaneous breakdown of an unstable nucleus, where it emits particles or radiation in order to become more stable.
B. Nuclear fusion is the process where two smaller atomic nuclei combine to form a larger nucleus, releasing a considerable amount of energy in the process.
C. Nuclear fission, on the other hand, is the process in which a large nucleus is split into two or more smaller parts. It also releases a substantial amount of energy. This is the correct answer to the question.
D. Beta decay involves the transformation of a neutron into a proton or vice versa, accompanied by the emission of a beta particle (an electron or a positron) from the nucleus.
In this case, the correct answer is C. Nuclear fission, as it describes the process where a large nucleus breaks apart into smaller fragments.
C. Nuclear fission
