In a fission nuclear reaction , a heavy nucleus breaks up into smaller nuclei whereas in another nuclear reaction two or more than two possibly nuclei are fused to form a heavy nucleus This nuclear reaction is called ?
Correct answer: D. Fusion nuclear reaction
- A. Chemical Reaction
- B. Nuclear reaction
- C. Fission nuclear reaction
- D. Fusion nuclear reaction
- E. None of these
Explanation
Nuclear fusion joins two or more light nuclei to form a heavier nucleus and releases energy. Fission is the opposite process, in which a heavy nucleus splits into smaller nuclei.
