Question

this is a timed test. you will get to use your chemistry ref. tables, a scientific calculator, a pen/pencil, & scratch paper. question 21 1 pts the following is an example of fission. (^{216}_{84}po
ightarrow^{203}_{77}ir + ^{13}_{7}n) true false

Explanation:

Step1: Recall fission definition

Nuclear fission is the splitting of a heavy - nucleus into two or more smaller nuclei.

Step2: Analyze given reaction

In the reaction $^{216}_{84}Po
ightarrow^{203}_{77}Ir + ^{13}_{7}N$, a single nucleus of polonium ($^{216}_{84}Po$) splits into an iridium nucleus ($^{203}_{77}Ir$) and a nitrogen nucleus ($^{13}_{7}N$). This is consistent with the definition of nuclear fission.

Answer:

True
