Why do unstable nuclei decay or emit particles in nuclear chemistry?
Because they are too small to remain stable
Because they are so large that they become unstable
Because they have too many electrons
Because they are exposed to high temperatures

Multiple Choice
Which of the following best describes nuclear fission as shown in the diagram?
A neutron hits a large nucleus, causing it to split into smaller nuclei and release energy.
A nucleus absorbs energy and combines with another nucleus to form a larger nucleus.
A nucleus loses protons and neutrons spontaneously without external influence.
A nucleus emits only radiation without splitting.
