(copied from last question and fixed) (there's three question so triple points) q 1 what is the difference between a pressurized water reactor and a boiling water reactor? a boiling water reactor does not boil the water. a pressurized water reactor boils the water faster. a pressurized water reactor indirectly heat water from the core. or a pressurized water reactor does not use fission. q 2what is true of the waste generated by nuclear power? creates acid rain causes air pollution increases greenhouse effect or remains hazardous for a long time q 3 what can cause further fission reactions? protons neutrons electrons or radioactivity

Q1)The primary difference between the Boiling Water Reactor (BWR) and the Pressurized Water Reactor (PWR) is in how the steam that spins the main turbine generator is created. The BWR generates high pressure steam that leaves the reactor and goes directly to the turbine through the main steam piping.

Q2)This is generally buried underground, so it does not cause significant air pollution, greenhouse effect, or acid rain. These three are mostly caused by particulate matter or greenhouse gases that are emitted into the atmosphere

Q3)Neutrons

answer: - 3.) the oxidation state of nitrogen in no changes from +2 to 0, and the oxidation state of carbon in co changes from +2 to +4 as the reaction proceeds.

solution: - as per the rules, oxidation number of oxygen in its compounds is -2. the sum of oxidation numbers of all the elements of a molecule or compound is zero.

also, the oxidation number in elemental form is zero.

in no, the oxidation number of o is -2 so the oxidation number of n is +2 so that the sum is zero.

similarly, the oxidation number of c in co is +2 and o is -2.

on product side the oxidation number of n is 0 as it is in the elemental form() .

oxidation number of c in carbon dioxide is +4 as there are two oxygen in it and we know that each oxygen is -2.

so, oxidation number of n is changing from +2 to 0 and the oxidation number of c is changing from +2 to +4.

since nitrogen is reduced and hence no is acting as an oxidizing agent. carbon is oxidized and so co is acting as a reducing agent.

so, the right choice is number 3.)the oxidation state of nitrogen in no changes from +2 to 0, and the oxidation state of carbon in co changes from +2 to +4 as the reaction proceeds.

alkaline metals are lithium, sodium, rubidium, potassium, cesium and francium.

alkali metals have electronegativity from 0.7 to 1, lowest in periodic table of elements, which means that alkali metals (i group in periodic table) has positive oxidation number in compounds.

electronegativity is a chemical property that describes the tendency of an atom to attract a shared pair of electrons towards itself.

alkaline metals (far left in main group) have lowest ionizations energy and easy remove valence electrons,

for example, potassium is the alkali metal and has a single valence electron in the outer electron shell.

electron configuration of potassium is: ₁₉k 1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁶4s¹.

they can not exist alone in nature, because they are very reactive.
