Multiple Select QuestionSelect all that applyWhich statements about controlled and uncontrolled chain reactions are true?Multiple select question.A nuclear fission bomb is an example of an uncontrolled chain reaction.In an uncontrolled chain reaction, an enormous amount of energy is released in an instant.Chain reactions cannot be controlled.The chain reactions that take place in a nuclear power plant are uncontrolled.A chain reaction can be controlled by adding materials that absorb neutrons.
Solution
The correct answers are:
- A nuclear fission bomb is an example of an uncontrolled chain reaction.
- In an uncontrolled chain reaction, an enormous amount of energy is released in an instant.
- A chain reaction can be controlled by adding materials that absorb neutrons.
The statements "Chain reactions cannot be controlled" and "The chain reactions that take place in a nuclear power plant are uncontrolled" are false. Chain reactions can indeed be controlled, and the ones in a nuclear power plant are controlled to prevent a meltdown.
