Multiple Choice QuestionWhich statement describes the process of nuclear fusion?Multiple choice question.Small nuclei join to form a larger nucleus.Large nuclei split into smaller nuclei.A nucleus emits alpha or beta particles, creating a new nucleus.Electrons from inner energy levels of the atom are captured by the nucleus.

In what way are nuclear fission and nuclear fusion similar?Group of answer choicesBoth processes involve the decay of nuclei of atoms.Both processes result in formation of one or more new elements.Both processes are currently used to generate electrical energy.Both processes occur naturally inside the core of a star.

What happens in nuclear fusion?A.Nuclei spontaneously break down.B.Two separate nuclei form one nucleus.C.Missing mass is added back to a nucleus.D.Isotopes are made from gamma rays.

Question 131 ptsWhich occurs in a fusion reaction between two atoms?Group of answer choicesEnergy is absorbed as a less stable element forms.A new element is formed and energy is released.Energy is converted into mass and forms a heavier element.The nuclei of the atoms are split apart and energy is released. Flag question: Question 14Question 141 ptsIn what way are nuclear fission and nuclear fusion similar?Group of answer choicesBoth processes involve the decay of nuclei of atoms.Both processes result in formation of one or more new elements.Both processes are currently used to generate electrical energy.Both processes occur naturally inside the core of a star.
