Observe the figure and answer the questions given below.
a) Name the reaction.
b) Where is this reaction used?
c) Which element is used in it?
Answers
Answer:
a) Nuclear fission
b) When the nucleus of an atom splits into lighter nuclei through a nuclear reaction the process is termed as nuclear fission. This decay can be natural spontaneous splitting by radioactive decay, or can actually be simulated in a lab by achieving necessary conditions (bombarding with neutrinos). The resulting fragments tend to have a combined mass which is less than the original. The missing mass is what is converted into nuclear energy in the above reaction.
c) Radioactive elements like uranium and krypton like atoms are used in this reaction.
Explanation:
One of the major applications of a fission reaction is the production of electricity via nuclear power plants. Nuclear fission is an advantageous method for producing power for several reasons.
We use nuclear reactors to generate electricity making use of the nuclear fission reaction. The heat from the nuclear fission is passed to a working fluid, which in turn runs through steam turbines. These either drive a ship’s propellers or turn electrical generators’ shafts.
