Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The combining of 2 nuclei to form a larger nucleus is called ____
A
Fission
B
Fusion
C
Radioactive waste
D
Compounds
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Nuclear fusion is the process by which two light atomic nuclei combine to form a single heavier one while releasing massive amounts of energy.

Detailed explanation-2: -In nuclear fusion, two nuclei combine to form a single, larger nucleus. If the mass of the resultant nucleus is less than the original two particles, then energy is released in the process. By far, the most common fusion reaction in nature combines two hydrogen atoms to make a helium atom.

Detailed explanation-3: -Fusion is the joining of atomic nuclei and fission is the splitting of atomic nuclei.

Detailed explanation-4: -Fusion: A nuclear reaction in which nuclei combine to form more massive nuclei with the simultaneous release of energy.

Detailed explanation-5: -The main difference between these two processes is that fission is the splitting of an atom into two or more smaller ones while fusion is the fusing of two or more smaller atoms into a larger one. Nuclear Fission.
