Question

Hich of the following would be an example of nuclear fusion?

A Bombarding uranium nuclei with beta particles to produce two lighter atomic nuclei.
B Colliding hydrogen atoms to produce heavier helium atoms.
C An unstable nucleus decays over a period of time.
D Cobalt releasing gamma rays during decay to be used for a medical imaging.

Answer 1

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

The answer is B. Colliding hydrogen atoms to produce heavier helium atoms.

Nuclear fusion is a process where light atoms smash together which produces energy. The energy released creates a binding force that will fuse the nuclei of lighter atoms to create a heavier element.
