Question

Choose the correct statements about nuclear reactions. I. Nuclear reactions are accompanied by much larger changes inenergy than chemical reactions II. Increasing the temperature increases the rate of bothchemical and nuclear reactions III. The stability of the nucleus depends on the neutron toproton ratio IV. Reaction rates of both chemical and nuclear reactionsincrease with higher reactant concentration V. The half life of a nuclear decay reaction is independent ofthe amount of starting material

Explanation / Answer

We Know that :      The Following statements are trueRegarding the Nuclear Reactions :       I . . Nuclear reactionsare accompanied by much larger changes in energy than chemicalreactions      II . The stability of thenucleus depends on the neutron to proton ratio.      III.   The half life of anuclear decay reaction is independent of the amount of startingmaterial.          option B is correct.
