1. Compare and contrast the way energy is produced in a fission nuclear power plant versus how energy is produced by fusion in stars (such as our sun). Include similarities and differences between fission and fusion.
2. Consider the protons and neutrons found in the nucleus of an atom. what are the particles that make up the protons and neutrons. Be thorough in your description and include a drawing showing these particles.
What forces hold the nucleus together? Draw a model illustrating these forces at work.
Phosphorus-33 is a radioactive isotope which decays by beta emission. complete nuclear equation for this reaction and what is occurring.
3. What happens in a stellar nuclear fusion reaction.
A great deal of research is centered around using hydrogen in a nuclear fusion reactor to generate electricity for use on Earth. how a fusion nuclear reactor power plant would work.
