Well done ! You have got all the questions correct. Click here to continue to answer section Click here to end quiz
23
Answer section This will take you through the same questions again, showing you the answers. Click here to start answer section
24
Occurs in uranium and plutonium Nuclear fission These are both elements with high atomic number. They have a large nucleus and this can split up. Next slide
25
Can lead to a chain reaction Nuclear fission Spare neutrons are produced and this means there can be a chain reaction Next slide
26
Happens in the Sun Nuclear fusion The Sun is made up mainly of hydrogen and helium. Its energy comes from the nuclear fusion of hydrogen into helium. Next slide
27
Involves hydrogen nuclei joining to make helium Nuclear fusion This is in effect a definition of nuclear fusion Next slide
28
Releases neutrons which can trigger the next event Nuclear fission When the large nucleus breaks up, it produces extra neutrons which are then used in the chain reaction. Next slide
29
The source of energy in a nuclear power station Nuclear fission Nuclear power station do have a uranium or plutonium fuel in them which undergoes nuclear fission. Next slide
30
Always produces new nuclei which are radioactive Nuclear fission When the large nucleus breaks up, it produces two smaller nuclei. They are unstable so this means they are radioactive. Next slide
31
Large nuclei splitting into smaller ones Nuclear fission This is a definition of nuclear fission Next slide
32
Could be developed for power stations in the future Nuclear fusion The key word here is “could”. It involves recreating the Sun in a power station. It is a long-term research project but it could be done one day. Next slide
33
Releases two or three spare neutrons Nuclear fission When a large nucleus breaks up, it does release spare neutrons and this is the basis of a chain reaction Next slide
