1. Keep this in
• Binding energy- amount of energy it
takes to completely separate the
protons and neutrons
• Chain reaction- is a sequence of
reactions where by-product causes
additional reactions to take place
2. Keep this in
• Strong Nuclear Force- force that
pulls the protons and neutrons together
• Electric Force (charge of protons)-
force which causes for the nucleons to
be apart
4. 1. What is FISSION?
2. How does FISSION reaction is
induced?
3. What are the products of FISSION
reaction?
4. What is FUSION?
5. What are the requirements for
FUSION reaction to be possible?
6. What are the products of FUSION
reaction?
5.
6. • it is a decay process in which a
unstable nucleus splits into two
fragments of comparable mass
• it is induce by bombarding a
heavy nucleus using a neutron
17. 1. What is fission reaction?
a. Fission reaction is the process of
disintegration of an unstable nucleus.
b. Fission reaction is the process by which
two or more small light nuclei come
together.
c. Fission reaction is the process by which a
massive nucleus disintegrates into two
fragments of comparable mass.
18. 2. What is needed in fission reaction for it
to occur immediately?
a) Intense heat and pressure like that of
the sun
b) A slow moving neutron
c) A fast moving neutron
19. 3. What are the products of fission
reaction?
a. 2 nuclei of comparable mass and
neutrons
b. 1 massive nucleus and neutrons
c. 3 nuclei of comparable mass and
neutrons
20. 4. What is fusion reaction?
a. Fusion reaction is the process of
disintegration of an unstable nucleus.
b. Fusion reaction is the process by which
two or more small light nuclei come
together.
c. Fusion reaction is the process by which a
massive nucleus disintegrates into two
fragments of comparable mass.
21. 5. What are the requirements for fusion
reaction to occur?
a. Intense heat and pressure like that of
the sun
b. A slow moving neutron
c. A fast moving neutron
