Chapter 10, Problem 10.65P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

For the below process determine whether it is nuclear fusion, nuclear fission or both fusion and fission.

  • The reaction happens in the sun

Concept Introduction:

Both fusion and fission are the nuclear reactions which generate energy but it is to be noted that for both the applications are not equal. Fission is to split the unstable, heavy nucleus into two smaller nuclei. Fusion is the procedure where two of the nuclei combine with each other to release huge amount of energy.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

For the below process determine whether it is nuclear fusion, nuclear fission or both fusion and fission.

  • A neutron is used to bombard a nucleus.

Concept Introduction:

Both fusion and fission are the nuclear reactions which generate energy but it is to be noted that for both the applications are not equal. Fission is to split the unstable, heavy nucleus into two smaller nuclei. Fusion is the procedure where two of the nuclei combine with each other to release huge amount of energy.

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

For the below process determine whether it is nuclear fusion, nuclear fission or both fusion and fission.

  • A large amount of energy is released.

Concept Introduction:

Both fusion and fission are the nuclear reactions which generate energy but it is to be noted that for both the applications are not equal. Fission is to split the unstable, heavy nucleus into two smaller nuclei. Fusion is the procedure where two of the nuclei combine with each other to release huge amount of energy.

Interpretation Introduction

(d)

Interpretation:

For the below process determine whether it is nuclear fusion, nuclear fission or both fusion and fission.

  • Very high temperatures are required.

Concept Introduction:

Both fusion and fission are the nuclear reactions which generate energy but it is to be noted that for both the applications are not equal. Fission is to split the unstable, heavy nucleus into two smaller nuclei. Fusion is the procedure where two of the nuclei combine with each other to release huge amount of energy.
