Nuclear Chemistry
What is the primary result of a fission reaction? A)conversion of mass to energy B)conversion to energy mass C)binding together of two heavy nuclei D)binding together of two light nuclei?
A
An unstable nucleus spontaneously releases a positron.This is an example of A)radioactive decay B)nuclear fusion C)Chemical Deposition D)Thermal Conductivity
a
