Fission

Fusion or fission

Multiple Choice

Which of the following is true about nuclear fission?

The mass of the product is greater than the mass of the original nucleus

The mass of the product is less than that of the original nucleus

The mass of the product is the same as the mass of the original nucleus

The mass of the product is 100 times greater than the original nucleus

Multiple Choice

The splitting of a nucleus into smaller nuclei is

fusion

fission

half-life

gamma radiation

Multiple Choice

What is a chain reaction?

When electrons travel are emitted causing electricity

When a nuclear fission reaction occurs, the protons emitted can strike other nuclei in the sample, and cause them to split

When a nuclear fission reaction occurs, the neutrons emitted can strike other nuclei in the sample, and cause them to split

When a nuclear fission reaction occurs, the electrons emitted can strike other nuclei in the sample, and cause them to split

Multiple Select
