Question
1.Which of the following atoms would be an isotope of Carbon-12 (6 protons, 6 neutrons, 6 electrons)? A 5 protons, 6 neutrons, 6 electrons B 6 protons, 7 neutrons, 6 electrons C 6 protons, 6 neutrons, 7 electrons D 7 protons, 6 neutrons, 5 electrons
2.Which of the following would be considered a fertile nuclear fuel?
A fuel that can perpetuate a nuclear reaction with bombardment by low energy neutrons
B fuel that can generate fissile material after bombardment with high energy neutrons.
C fuel that con perpetuate a nuclear reaction with bombardment by high energy neutrons
D fuel that can generate fissile material after bombardment with low energy neutrons.
Explanation / Answer
1) An isotope of carbon must have 6 protons and must have 6 electrons for neutrality condition. So option B is correct
2) Option B) A fertile nuclear fuel can generate fissile material after bombardment with high energy neutrons.
