If critical mass is reached, it can cause:
A: electrons to split
B: a chain reaction
C: a fusion of uranium nuclei
D: krypton atoms to split into strontium and xenon

Respuesta :

If critical mass is reached, it can cause (b.) a chain reaction.

The correct answer is:

B: a chain reaction

Explanation:

A chain reaction is a series of reactions where a reactive output or by-product produces additional reactions to earn a place. In a chain reaction, extremely feedback leads to a self-amplifying series of events.

Chain reactions are one way that systems which are not in thermodynamic stability can release energy or improve entropy in order to enter a state of greater entropy.
