NUCLEAR FISSION AND ITS RELATIONSHIP TO ATOMIC BOMB

● The protons are inside the nucleus.
● Arrow in chemistry means converted to.
● If an element has no electron, they are prone to nuclear fission– inverse opposite of nuclear fusion.
● Before the decay process, nuclear fission happens in which the nucleus splits apart.
● Hydrogen atoms act like the moon, it is the shield of the nucleus while in the moon, it is the shield of earth.
It is the reason why the moon has craters which are the collision sites. It protects earth from the asteroids.
● Light is made from a very tiny particle which is called a photon.
● The one who interacts first when forming bonds is an electron. That's why if an element has no electron
who will defend the nucleus, those tiny particles including neutrons will collide with the nucleus.
● The nucleus will be converted to hydrogen ion (H+) because no one will protect it and it becomes prone. A
particular atom will undergo an ionization process if it has no electron. It happens before the nuclear
fission.
● Since it was ionized, it became prone to light particles, neutrons, and photons so it will collide to the
nucleus creating nuclear fission– nucleus splits into two and protons will be released and will be converted
to energy.
● Nonetheless, hydrogen ions can also be converted to hydrogen atom because they don’t exist for what it is
because elements are unstable.
● Hydrogen atom that we have in the atmosphere is not permanent for what it is.
● When you give electrons, you lose and if you lose, it’s regardless if some elements receive it or not because
it will still be converted to positive particle.
● Free neutrons exist in space and/or in surroundings.
● Photons and free neutrons are intervening particles because they disrupt elements.
● If a free neutron collides with the target nucleus, it will have a fission product.
● In one atom, the numbers of electrons are equal to the number of protons.
● Between the collision of free neutrons and nucleus, the protons inside will segregate into distinct products.
● In fusion, they are creating heavy elements while in fission; you split the heavy elements into lighter ones.
● Free neutrons came from fission reactions of other elements– they are the particles that are very small and
cannot create another element. It has a charge of zero and they are stable.
● Isotopes are variants. It happens when humans try to create elements which are artificial things.
● Those who have many bumps with other particles become the heaviest.
● In order for them to avoid being broken by the neutrons, they need to be stable by forming bonds.
● Nuclear fission happens first before nuclear fusion.
● Singularity is the first ever nucleus in the universe and it is called the Big Bang.
● Organic elements are usually air stable while inorganic all possibilities concerning stability with air or water.
● Organic releases scent and odor, while inorganic releases fumes.
● Resonating structure or resonance means similar.
● Glacial acetic acid is anhydrous acetic acid and it does not contain water. It also freezes at a temperature
slightly cooler than room temperature.
● The vinegar that we usually use are not pure, it contains H2O or water with 85% and 15% vinegar.
● Aqua Regia is a mixture of Ammonia (NH3) or Nitric Acid (HN03), or Hydrochloric Acid, optimally in a molar
ratio of 1:3.
● The greater number is called solvent while the least number is solute.
● A fuming liquid is colorless, but it turns yellow, orange, or red within seconds due to the formation of
Nitrosyl Chloride and Nitrogen Dioxide.
