Which of the following are lost or gained during a nuclear reaction? (5 points)
a Electrons and nucleus
b Electrons and neutrons
c Protons and electrons
d Protons and neutrons

Respuesta :

D

Nuclear reaction involves the nuclei of atoms. The nucleus can either split (as is the case with fission) of fuse as is the case with nuclear fusion. Remember the main particles in the nucleus are protons and neutrons.

Explanation:

In nuclear fission, atomic nuclei split into lighter atoms through loss of protons and neutrons (such as through loos of a beta particles - 2 protons and 2 neutrons). In the case of fusion, two atomic nuclei fuse under pressure (hence adding neutrons and protons) to create heavier atoms (2 hydrogens can fuse to form a helium). Electrons are not involved in nuclear reactions. Electrons are mainly involved in chemical reactions.
