Question

which statement about nuclear fission is false?

a: nuclear fission takes place in the core of the stars

b: the fuel for nuclear fission is often uranium

c: nuclear fission releases large amount of energy

d: nuclear fission is used to generate electricity at nuclear power plants

Answer 1

Answer:

d: nuclear fission is used to generate electricity at nuclear power plants

Explanation:

Nuclear fission is obtained by radioactive decay or nuclear reaction in which nucleus of an atom split into two or more nuclie.

Nuclear energy in nuclear power planst is result of nuclear fission process. In nuclear power plants, uranium atoms  undergo process of nuclear fission and split into several nuclie, which generates heat and produces steam. The steam is then used by the turbine to generate electricity.

Hence, the correct option is d.

Answer 2

The statement about nuclear fission which is false is it taking place in the

core of stars.

Nuclear fission is a type of reaction which involves the splitting of an atom

into different parts. This process involves a lot of energy and a common

fuel for it is Uranium. It has importance such as generation of electricity

and researches.

Nuclear fusion takes place in the core of stars and involve the fusion of two

hydrogen atoms  to become a helium atom.
