Researchers have attempted to combine the nuclei of multiple atoms to generate largeamounts of energy. To date, researchers have not been able to perform this processwithout using more energy than is generated by the reaction.Whichtypeof reaction are the researchers seeking to achieve?O synthesisO fusionO decompositionO fission Fast neutron therapy is used in modern medicine to treat cancer that is resistant to other methods of treatment. To produce theneutrons needed for fast neutron therapy, a stream of protons is accelerated towards a mass of beryllium. This causes the berylliumatoms to release neutrons from their nuclei.The methods used to perform fast neutron therapy are an example of which type of reaction?O synthesisO fusionO decompositionO fissonO OOO

Dinitrogen trioxide, N2O3, is largely dissociated into NO and NO2 in the gas phase where there exists the equilibrium, N2O3 = NO + NO2 In an effort to determine the structure of N2O3, a mixture of NO and "NO2 was prepared containing isotopically labeled N in the NO2. After a period of time the mixture was analyzed and found to contain substantial amounts of both *NO and *NO2. Explain how this is consistent with the structure of N2O3 being ÔNONO. Because this is an equilibrium process, there is a change that either the forward or the reverse reactions will occur. As NO reacts with NO2 we form This compound can decompose and give either NO2 and and "NO2. or After sufficient time, v will be present in the mixture. both "NO and NO Attempts: 0 of 3 used Submit Answer Save for Later only *NO only NO
