Concept explainers
The sequence of events that are occurred during chain reaction is to be explained.
Answer to Problem 21STP
The steps of a nuclear chain reaction is:
(a) Splitting
(b) Emission
(c) Absorption
Explanation of Solution
In a chain reaction, the nucleus is splits into two or more lighter nuclei initially. After splitting the kinetic energy and the gamma
Two type of chain reaction is:
Controlled chain reaction.
Uncontrolled chain reaction.
Conclusion:
The process of nuclear chain reaction is based upon nuclear fission.
