Alkali metals have an ns 2 outer electron structure.
 
  Indicate whether the statement is true or false

Question 2

Uranium-238 can capture a neutron inside a nuclear reactor (a so-called breeder reactor), producing an isotope of plutonium and two beta particles. The plutonium can then itself be used as a nuclear fuel.
 
  Write a balanced equation for the breeder reactor's production of plutonium (include isotope number) from uranium-238.
