Indicate whether each of the following is characteristic of the fission or fusion process, or both:b. The nuclear process occurs in the Sun.

How does ionizing radiation lead to cell damage?

How does a chain reaction occur in nuclear fission?

How does nuclear fission differ from normal radioactive decay?

In another fission reaction, uranium-235 bombarded with a neutron produces strontium-94, another small nucleus, and three neutrons. Write the balanced nuclear equation for the fission reaction.

Identify the starting radioisotopes needed to balance each of these nuclear reactions:a.

b.

Bismuth-212 attaches readily to monoclonal antibodies and is used in the treatment of various cancers. This bismuth-212 is formed after the parent isotope undergoes a decay series consisting of four α decays and one β decay (the decays could be in any order). What is the parent isotope for this decay series?
