It has poor penetrating ability I only d. I and IVII only e. II and IVIII only 2. Deuterium ( 2H) is common product of the fusion process. Often called “heavy hydrogen”, deuterium consists of one proton and neutron. Which of the following atoms could undergo fusion to become deuterium? U and an alpha particle c. H and HHe and H d. H and a neutron

5. Which of the following correctly balances this nuclear fission reaction? 6 . The beta decay of cesium-137 has a half-life of 30 years. How many years must pass to reduce a 25mg sample of cesium 137 to 6.25 mg? 30 years C. 75 years 60 years D. 90 years
7. Identify an element that cannot participate in nuclear fission reactions. Plutonium C. UraniumHydrogen D. Thorium 8 . Fission and fusion are two methods of producing nuclear energy. Which method is used in nuclear power reactors and why? Fusion, because it creates less waste. Fission, because it produces more energy per atom of fuel. Fusion, because it produces more energy per atom of fuel. Fission, because fusion requires a large input of energy in order to occur.
9. Nuclear fission is a powerful energy source, used in both nuclear power plant and atomic bombs. Which statement is a possible description of the nuclear fission of U-235? U-235 absorbs one neutron and splits into an atom of krypton-94 and an atom of barium-139. U-235 absorbs one neutron and splits into an atom of krypton-94, an atom of barium-139 and three neutrons. U-235 absorbs one neutron and splits into an atom of krypton-94, an atom of barium-139, and two neutrons. U-235 absorbs one neutron and splits into an atom of krypton-94, an atom of barium-139 and one neutron. 10. Where would you find a nuclear fusion reaction occurring? In a nuclear power plant In the SunIn an X-ray machineIn a microwave oven
