1.	Out of two element A and B with mass number 2 and 235 respectively, Which one is suitable for making a) A nuclear reactor b) A hydrogen bomb Name the nuclear reaction involved in each case, write one difference between the two types of nuclear reactions.
Answer» Solution :a) For a NUCLEAR reactor-element .B. with mass number 235 is suitable as a FUEL in a nuclear reactor. b) For a hydrogen boomb- element ‘A’with mass number 2 is suitable for making the hydrogen bomb. The nuclear reaction involved in a) Nuclear reactor is nuclear fission reaction b) Nuclear bomb is nuclear fusion reaction. Difference between fission and fusion: Fusion reaction releases much greater energy with NON radioactive products than the energy released in fission reaction with radio-active products.
