(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The type of nuclear reaction, which splits nucleus into two lighter nuclei, has to be given.

Concept Introduction:

Nuclear fission:

Nuclear fission is the reaction that occurs when the nucleus of an atom splits into two smaller nuclides having similar masses during fission process energy is released.

Nuclear fusion:

Nuclear fusion is the process of making a single heavy nucleus from two lighter nuclei.  It releases a large amount of energy.  This energy powers the heat and lights the stars.  Fusion happens in the middle of stars.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The type of nuclear reaction, which joins two lighter nuclei to form heavy nucleus, has to be given.

Concept Introduction:

Refer to part (a).

(c)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The type of nuclear reaction, which is used to generate energy in nuclear power plant, has to be given.

Concept Introduction:

Refer to part (a).

(d)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The type of nuclear reaction, which produces radioactive waste with long half-life, has to be given.

Concept Introduction:

Refer to part (a).

In intercalation compounds, their sheets can be neutral or have a negative or positive charge, depending on the nature of the incorporated species and its structure. Is this statement correct?
This thermodynamic cycle describes the formation of an ionic compound MX2 from a metal element M and nonmetal element X in their standard states.  What is the lattice enthalpy of MX2 ? What is the enthalpy formation of MX2 ? Suppose both the heat of sublimation of M and the ionization enthalpy of M were smaller. Would MX2 be more stable? Or less? or impossible to tell without more information?
7. Draw the mechanism to describe the following transformation: Note: This is a base catalyzed reaction. So, the last steps must make [OH]- OH [OH]¯ OH Heat O
