What is fired into a nucleus to cause nuclear fission?

What is nuclear fission?The splitting up of a large and unstable nucleusThe process which causes the release of energy in the core of the SunThe decay of a radioactive nucleus (with the release of an alpha particle, a beta particle, a gamma ray or a neutron)The joining together of two small nuclei2Which of the following occurs in the reactor of a working nuclear power station which is connected to the National Grid?Nuclear fusionInduced fission onlySpontaneous fission onlyBoth spontaneous and induced fission3The motion of which of the following particles is responsible for nuclear (fission) chain reactions?ElectronsNeutronsProtonsAlpha particles4Which of the following elements can be used to stop neutrons within the control rods of a nuclear reactor?BerylliumBoronBismuthBarium5What is nuclear fusion?The process which causes the release of energy in the reactor of a working nuclear power station which is supplying electrical energy to the National GridThe splitting up of a large and unstable nucleusThe joining together of two small nucleiThe decay of a radioactive nucleus (with the release of an alpha particle, a beta particle, a gamma ray or a neutron)6Energy is released in both fission and fusion reactions.  Which of the following statements about these types of reactions is correct?The mass of the products is equal to the mass of the reactantsWhether the mass of the products is less than, equal to or greater than the mass of the reactants depends on the exact reaction which has taken placeThe mass of the products is less than the mass of the reactantsThe mass of the products is greater than the mass of the reactants

Question 131 ptsWhich occurs in a fusion reaction between two atoms?Group of answer choicesEnergy is absorbed as a less stable element forms.A new element is formed and energy is released.Energy is converted into mass and forms a heavier element.The nuclei of the atoms are split apart and energy is released. Flag question: Question 14Question 141 ptsIn what way are nuclear fission and nuclear fusion similar?Group of answer choicesBoth processes involve the decay of nuclei of atoms.Both processes result in formation of one or more new elements.Both processes are currently used to generate electrical energy.Both processes occur naturally inside the core of a star.
