fuel for a thermonuclear bomb (hydrogen bomb) is lithium deuteride, a salt composed of the ions Li* and í H.Considering the ear reaction i+ n → He +H ain how a 235U fission bomb could serve as a trigger for a fusion bomb. 35 2 Lission bomb could serve as a trigger for fusion bomb because the reaction of 2 Uproduces 235 and the could be used in the reaction of Li-6 to form He-4 and H-3. ct all the appropriate balanced nuclear equations for this process.

What is the reason for the use of water in a nuclear reactor? a) it increases the number of neutrons produced in each fission event b) it is used to transfer heat from the reactor to a cold water stream c) it slows down neutrons and stops the fission reaction d) it is used to maintain the critical mass e) it carries the decayed material away from the reactor

a) Mrs. Price's son, Liam is currently working as a boilermaker at the Darlington Nuclear Power plant. He is working with Uranium-237 which has a half-life of 13.75 days. What mass of an initial sample of 567.5g of uranium-237 would remain after 56 days? b) Write the complete reaction for the decay of Po-210 if it undergoes 2 consecutive alpha decay followed by a beta decay followed by another alpha decay.

21. As stated in the previous problem, Cesium-137 is a radioactive product of nuclear power plants. Cs-137 and beta minus decays into barium, Ba-137. a) Write out the radioactive decay formula correctly listing the atomic numbers and mass numbers of the parent and daughter isotope as well as the two ejected particles. b) Specify if one of the ejected particles is an electron or positron?

Which nuclide has the greatest relative binding energy?   Question 14 options:   1H   59Co   238U

Calculate for the binding energy in MeV per nucleon of 232 Th if the actual mass of the atom is 232.038 amu. Express your answer in 2 decimal places. Do not 90 write the units. Mass of proton = 1.0078 amu; Mass of neutron = 1.0087 amu Speed of light = 3.00 x 108 m/s 1 amu = 1 g/mol = 1.66 x 1027 kg 1 MeV = 1.60 x 10-13
