2 In nuclear fission, a large nucleus is bombarded with a small particle. the nucleus splits into smaller nuclei and several neutrons. large amounts of energy are released. Nuclear Fission

3 When a neutron bombards 235 U, an unstable nucleus of 236 U undergoes fission (splits). smaller nuclei are produced such as Kr-91 and Ba-142. neutrons are released to bombard more 235 U. 1 n U “ 236 U” 91 Kr Ba n Nuclear Fission Energy

5 Learning Check Supply the missing atomic symbol to complete the equation for the following nuclear fission reaction. 1 n U 137 Te + ? X n + energy ? 0

6 Solution 1 n U 137 Te + 97 Zr n + energy

7 Chain Reaction A chain reaction occurs when a critical mass of uranium undergoes fission. releasing a large amount of heat and energy that produces an atomic explosion.

8 Nuclear Power Plants In nuclear power plants, fission is used to produce energy. control rods in the reactor absorb neutrons to slow and control the chain reactions of fission.

9 Nuclear Fusion Fusion occurs at extremely high temperatures ( °C). combines small nuclei into larger nuclei. releases large amounts of energy. occurs continuously in the sun and stars.

10 Fusion: small nuclei form larger nuclide, release energy This type of Fusion is being Examined as An alternative Energy source On Earth. Small nuclei come together to form larger nuclide, releasing energy

11 Indicate if each of the following describes 1) nuclear fissionor 2) nuclear fusion. ___ A. a nucleus splits. ___ B. large amounts of energy are released. ___ C. small nuclei form larger nuclei. ___ D. hydrogen nuclei react. ___ E. several neutrons are released. Learning Check

12 Indicate if each of the following is 1) nuclear fissionor 2) nuclear fusion. 1 A. a nucleus splits. 1, 2 B. large amounts of energy are released. 2 C. small nuclei form larger nuclei. 2 D. hydrogen nuclei react. 1 E. several neutrons are released. Solution
