Question

Which description of energy changes in nuclear reactions is correct?A. Fission and fusion have opposite consequences in terms of bothnuclear stability and mass-energy conversion.B. Fission and fusion have similar consequences in terms of mass-energy conversion, but opposite consequences in terms of nuclearstability.C. Fission and fusion have similar consequences in terms of bothnuclear stability and mass-energy conversion.D. Fission and fusion have opposite consequences in terms of mass-energy conversion, but similar consequences in terms of nuclearstability.

Answer 1

In both fission and fusion reactions, a huge amount of energy is released. (Energy released in a fusion reaction is more than that in fission). In both, the reaction final product will have greater nuclear stability.

Therefore, the correct answer is option C.
