Question
A nuclear reaction is represented by the equation:$^{2}_{1}\text{H}+{^{2}_{1}\text{H}}\rightarrow{^{3}_{2}\text{He}}+\text{xc}+\text{E}$
  1. Name the process represented by this equation and describe what happens during this reaction.
  2. Identify the particle c and the number x of such particles produced in the reaction.
  3. What does E represent?
  4. State two conditions under which such a reaction takes place.
  5. What type of nuclear bomb is based on similar reactions?
✓

Answer

  1. Nuclear fusion; two smaller nuclei combine to form a bigger nucleus with the release of energy, brought about under the conditions of high temperature and pressure.
  2. Particle c is neutron; x= 1
  3. Energy liberated.
  4. Millions of degree of temperature and millions of pascals of pressure.
  5. Hydrogen bomb.

An organism A which cannot move from one place to another, makes a simple food B from the substances C and D available in the environment. This food is made in the presence of a green coloured substance E present in organs F in the presence of light energy in a process called G. Some of the simple food B also gets converted into a complex food H for storage purposes. The food H gives a blue-black colour with dilute iodine solution.

Some hunters are roaming in the plush green forest of Africa. They spot a deer and kill it. They decide to roast the deer there and then and eat it. When the hunters had just finished enjoying the feast of roasted deer, a lion attacks them. The lion kills one of the hunters and eats his flesh.
  1. Write a food chain which provides food to lion in this case.
  2. Which animal (other than deer) the lion could look for food if he did not get the hunter as prey?
