Submit quiz
Once you submit, you will no longer be able to change your answers. Are you sure you want to submit the quiz?
1.
Fission is
splitting of a large nucleus
joining of small nuclei
emission of an electron
breaking of an atom into electrons
2.
What makes a chain reaction possible?
Heat only
Protons released
Electrons released
Neutrons released by each fission
3.
The function of control rods is to
slow neutrons
absorb neutrons
produce neutrons
cool the core
4.
Fusion requires very high temperatures because the nuclei
repel each other
are neutral
are too heavy
are unstable
5.
Which is a fusion process?
Uranium splitting
Alpha particles scattering
Carbon-14 decaying
Hydrogen nuclei forming helium in the Sun
6.
(Supplement) The energy released in nuclear reactions comes from
a gain in mass
a small loss of mass
chemical bonds
the electrons
