Introduction to Nuclear Chemistry part 2

What is one of the fundamental principles of Nuclear chemistry?

• alchemy

• ions

• Binding Energy

• thermal energy

What does the equation E=mc² represent?

• The relationship between speed and distance

• The mass-energy equivalence

• The equation for gravitational force

• The formula for calculating speed

What is the main goal of atomic nuclei in nuclear chemistry?

• To become unstable

• To gain more protons

• To achieve stability

• To lose electrons

Which element is commonly used as fuel in nuclear fission reactions?

• Hydrogen

• Helium

• Uranium-235

• Carbon

What happens during a fission reaction?

• A large nucleus splits into smaller ones

• Protons are removed from the nucleus

• Two light nuclei combine to form a heavier one

• Electrons are added to the nucleus

What is one of the greatest source of fusion energy in our solar system?

• lighting

• our sun

• our moon

• the core of earth

When will our sun run out of "fuel" for fusion reactions?

• 100 years

• 10000 years

• 1,000,000 years

• 4 billion years

Why is fusion considered challenging to control for energy production?

• It requires low temperatures

• It produces no energy

• It involves overcoming strong repulsive forces

• It is easily contained
