Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsA
Nuclear fusion is the process of making a single heavy nucleus from two lighter nuclei. It releases a large amount of energy.
Nuclear fission an unstable atom splits into two or more smaller pieces that are more stable, and releases energy in the process.
- decay occurs when, in a nucleus with too many .protons or too many neutrons, one of the protons or neutrons is transformed into the other.
Exothermic reactions or processes are that release energy, usually in the form of heat or light.
