Part A Nuclear Fission and Fusion Reactions Write the isotope needed, by identifying A, Z, and X, to balance the following nuclear fission reaction 140 Fission and fusion reactions both involve nuclei of atoms, but differ in the nuclear transformation process. In nuclear fission, a heavy nucleus splits into lighter nuclei when bombarded with a neutron: Express your answer as an isotope using prescripts Hints 143 0 38 In this example, a uranium atom splits into two lighter nuclei. During the process, large anm energy and three neutrons are released. Further collisions of the neutrons created with other heavy uranium atoms can lead to a chain reaction, the process that occurs in atomic weapons and nuclear power reactors Submit My Answers Give Up s of combining lighter Nuclear fusion is the nuclei to form heavier o nes Incorrect; Try Again In this example, a hydrogen nucleus with no neutrons (|H) "fuses" with another hydrogen nucleus having one neutron ) to form helium. Part B Write the isotope needed, by identifying A, Z, and X, to balance the following nuclear fusion reaction Despite the difference in mechanism for fusion and fission reactions, they do share the common requirement that the nuclear equations for both must be balanced. In order for a nuclear equation to be balanced, the number of protons and neutrons in the products must equal the number of protons and neutrons in the reactants Express your answer as an isotope using prescripts Hints

Explanation / Answer

Ans :

Part A :

The atomic mass can be calculated as : (235 +1) - (140 + 3) = 93

Atomic number = 92 - 56 = 36

The element with atomic number 36 is Krypton

So the isoyope is : 3693Kr

Part B :

Atomic number = (2-1) = 1

Atomic mass = (2+2) - 1 = 3

So the element will be H

Isotope = 13H
