Explain why fluorine and chlorine undergo similar reactions?
They have similar reactivities because, they are both in the same family and they both have 7 valance electrons.
Is the reacrion of ethanol with sodium more vigorous than water with sodium?
No, it's a similar reaction, producing Hydrogen and a solution but is less violent.
Why are olivine and calcium rich plagioclase often found together in igneous rocks?
Because both crystallize at similar temperatures and pressures according to Bowen's Reaction Series.
When dilute hydrochloric acid is placed on the sedimentary rock limestone and the metamorphic rock marble bubbling reaction occurs with both What would this indicate?
The minerals of these rocks are similar.
A violent reaction occurs when sodium is placed in water which element would produce a similar reaction with water?
Anything within the same family/column should produce the same effects since elements in the same family share similar characteristics. If this question is coming from a text book or a teacher i would suspect that they are looking for the answer K, in otherwords Potassium.
How are fusion and fission similar to chemical energy?
They are not similar, as fusion and fission involve changes to the nucleus whereas chemical energy involves the bonds between atoms
How a fusion reactor would be similar to a fission reactor?
explain how a fusion reactor would be similar to a fission reaction
Is the sun a atomic bomb?
I question why this is in the "Japan in WW2" section, but regardless. No, the sun is obviously not a bomb. However, you probably meant to ask something like, does the sun behave similar to an atomic bomb. The answer is, kinda. Most a-bombs use fission, while some use small fission reactions to create a fusion reaction, and are thus similar to the fusion reaction which makes the sun what it is.
Is the nuclear bomb stronger than atom bomb or is it the other way?
Nuclear bomb: a class of weapons that generates force by nuclear reactions instead of chemical reactions. Nuclear reactions include atomic fission and nuclear fusion. Atomic bombs are a class of weapons that use fission reactions from either Uranium-235 or Plutonium-239. The reaction is caused by creating a critical mass of the radioactive element, which then undergoes a chain reaction causing its atoms to fission, or break apart, releasing energy in the form of heat and radiation. The byproducts of the reaction are strongly radioactive, causing further damage as "radioactive fallout". Thermonuclear fusion bombs are a class of weapons that use heavy hydrogen isotopes (deuterium and tritium) as the primary energy source. When heated to extreme temperatures by an igniter atomic bomb, the hydrogen undergoes nuclear fusion, where the atoms fuse together to form the element lithium, release energy as heat and radiation. The quantity of energy released from a hydrogen fusion reaction is much higher than that from a fission reaction, resulting in more destruction from a relatively similar physical package
How are fission and fission similar?
Fusion and fission are similar in that they both reduce mass and thereby release binding energy.
Are all fission events in a chain reaction identical?
Nuclear event in a chain reaction could be said to be similar, but not identical. We need to look a bit more closely at a fission event to understand why. In a fission event in a chain reaction, a neutron is absorbed by a fissile nucleus, and the resulting instability causes that nucleus to fission, or split. When the nucleus splits, it splits into two approximately parts (called fission fragments), but not the same two parts will appear in every fission event. And one, two or three neutrons might appear, depending on exactly which two fission fragments appear. The total energies in the events will vary from event to event as well, and this has something to do with the energy the absorbed neutron brings when it is absorbed. We know fission events are similar, but there are variations that preclude them being identical.
How can endothermic and exothermic reactions work alike?
Endothermic and exothermic reactions are similar in that both have reactants and products. They are different in that exothermic reactions release energy through reacting and endothermic reactions absorb it.
How are exothermic and exothermic reaction are different and how are they the same?
Endothermic and exothermic reactions are similar in that both have reactants and products. They are different in that exothermic reactions release energy through reacting and endothermic reactions absorb it.
Why does cooking in pressure cookers take less time give a little detailed answer but not very long 4-5 lines?
Cooking involve chemical reactions; but the reaction rate depends on the pressure: increasing the pressure the reaction rate is increasing. Also dissolution of some components of foods depends on the pressure, in a similar relation.
How are catabolic reactions similar to anabolic reactions?
Both catabolic and anabolic reactions classify into the Subjects Biochemistry and Cellular Genetics. They both involve reactants and products. An example of biochemical substances that carry out both catabolic and anabolic Biochemical Reactions are 'the Enzymes in our [Cellularly Composed] Bodies'.
How are nuclear fission and nuclear fusion are the same?
They are similar only in that they are nuclear reactions. In nuclear fission involves the splitting of an atomic nucleus, whereas nuclear fusion involves the joining together of atomic nuclei.
How are nuclear fission and nuclear fusion are similar?
They are both nuclear reactions. That's just about it. Other than that they are completely different. Fission is the nuclear reaction when two atoms smash the living soul out of each other and split apart, releasing nuclear energy. The other, fusion, involves the same things as fission, expect that extreme heat and pressure is required for it to happen. Instead of splitting each other apart nuclear fusion fuses atoms together into another compound/element, while releasing about 10 times as much energy as nuclear fission.
