Question

The model below represents a nuclear reaction. Atom 1 is present before the reaction and Atom 2 and Atom 3 are produced after the reaction.

Atom 1 = Atom 2 + Atom 3 + energy

The model most likely represents a reaction which
Select one:
a. takes place when atoms combine
b. takes place when atoms become inactive
c. does not produce energy in the sun
d. does not produce energy in nuclear power plants

Answer 1

Correct answer is option C (does not produce energy in the sun )

Step-by-step explanation:

Fusion:

When two light nuclei combined to form a heavy nucleus that time large amount of energy is emitted and this reaction is known as fusion reaction.

In sun energy is produced due to fusion reaction but in this model atom1 is splitting in two light nuclei with emission of energy this type of reaction is known as fission reaction. This type of reaction is used to produce energy in nuclear power plant.So option D is not correct and it does not produce energy in the sun so option C is correct because this is fission reaction and in sun energy is produce due to fusion reaction.

Answer 2

Option C. Does not produce energy in the sun. Because energy in the sun is produced by fusion; this is the combination of two atoms, and that is the opposite to what the model shows.
