### Question 7
**The Gibbs Free Energy for a certain reaction is negative. It follows that the value of E°_cell will be __________.**

- (A) Negative
- (B) Positive

### Explanation
When the Gibbs Free Energy (ΔG) for a reaction is negative, it indicates that the reaction is spontaneous. For a galvanic cell, a spontaneous reaction is associated with a positive standard cell potential (E°_cell). Thus, the correct answer is **(B) Positive**.

### Question 8
**The process of bombarding heavier elements with neutrons to induce them to decompose into smaller, stable elements is known as nuclear __________.**

- (A) Fission
- (B) Fusion

### Explanation
The process of bombarding heavier elements, such as uranium or plutonium, with neutrons which leads them to split into smaller, more stable nuclei, along with the release of a large amount of energy, is known as nuclear **fission**. Therefore, the correct answer is **(A) Fission**.
