The isotope Bi-214 decays from 60.00 g to 7.50 g in 1 hour.  What is the amount of time for one half-life?

20 min

What percent of the original sample remains after 4 hours?

40%

10,000 years

In fission reactions, which particle is responsible for the continuation of the chain reaction?

neutrons

A group of students proposed four different models to show the fusion of hydrogen to form helium. which model shows the process of nuclear fusion.

B

Fusion is?

Natural

what do you need for fusion

Hydrogen

Problem with fusion

costs alot of money and we are using more energy to create it then we are getting out of it

Fusion equation
