Source: Nuclear Fission vs Nuclear Fusion on Diffen
Nuclear Fission
Fission is the splitting of a
large atom into two or more
smaller ones.
Fission reaction does not
normally occur in nature.
Fission produces many highly
radioactive particles.
Critical mass of the substance
and high-speed neutrons are
required.
Takes little energy to split two
atoms in a fission reaction.
The energy released by fission
is a million times greater
than that released in
chemical reactions, but lower
than the energy released by
nuclear fusion.
One class of nuclear weapon
isa fission bomb, also known
as an atomic bomb or atom
bomb.
Nuclear Fusion
Fusion is the fusing of two or
more lighter atoms into a
larger one.
Fusion oceurs in stars, such
as the sun.
Few radioactive particles are
produced by fusion reaction,
but if a fission "trigger" is
used, radioactive particles will
tesult from that.
High density, high
temperature environment is
required.
Extremely high energy is
required to bring two or more
protons close enough that
nuclear forees overcome their
electrostatic repulsion.
The energy released by fusion
is three to four times greater
than the energy released by
fission.
One class of nuclear weapon
is the hydrogen bomb, which
uses a fission reaction to
“trigger” a fusion reaction.
Powered by DiffenThese effects are a combination of
RESONANCE and INDUCTIVE effects
The effects are also important in other
reactions and properties (e.g. acidity of the
substituted benzoic acids).
Here are some general pointers for recognising
the substituent effects:
The H atom is the standard and is
regarded as having no effect.
Activating groups increase the rate
Deactivating groups decrease the rate =
EDG = electron donating group
EDG can be recognised by lone pairs on
the atom adjacent to the m system, eg: -
OCH
except -R, -Ar or -vinyl (hyperconjugation,
Tt electrons)
EWG = electron withdrawing group
EWG can be recognised either by the atom
adjacent to the 1 system having several
bonds to more electronegative atoms, or,
having a formal +ve or 6 +ve charge, eg: -
COR, -NO2
EDG / activating groups direct ortho / para
EWG / deactivating groups direct meta
except halogens (-X) which are
deactivating BUT direct ortho / para
EDG add electron density to the m system
making it more nucleophilic
EWG remove electron density from the m
system making it less nucleophilic.These effects are a combination of

Reactions
A chemical reaction may be regarded as the process that occurs when matter
undergoes change in composition. To be able to understand chemical reactions,
‘one needs to recognize the key types of reactions. Reactions may be classified in
several different ways, namely:
‘Synthesis (Combination) Reactions; Decomposition Reactions; Substitution (single
replacement) Reactions; Precipitation (Double replacement) Reactions; Neutra
lisation (acid-base) Reactions; Redox (Reduction and Oxidation) Reactions.

If Object 1 is in thermal equilibrium with Object 2 and
Object 2 is in thermal equilibrium with Object 3, then
Object 1 is in thermal equilibrium with Object 3.

Well, duh (Thermometer)
When two objects are separately in thermodynamic equilibrium
with a third object, they are in equilibrium with each other.
Objects in thermodynamic equilibrium have the same temperature.Tiwe [Bespin [hnee? —_[Eamoie

atom. He atom is known
as an alpha particle
Nucleus releases an
electron and converts a
neutron to a proton
Nucleus goes from high
energy state to a low
energy state,
Positron Nucleus releases a
positively charged
electron and converts a
proton to a neutron
An electron from the
electron cloud converts
@ proton into a neutron

A Helium atom is
released. Remaining

Remaining atom has:
“Same mass

one less neutron
Nucleus remains
