Question

Nuclear fusion is the process during which a heavy nucleus splits into two intermediate-sized nuclei after being struck by a neutron.

A fusion reaction proceeds because the binding energy of the resulting nucleus is less than the binding energy of the original nuclei.

The mass of the products of a nuclear fusion reaction is greater than the mass of the original elements.

Nuclear fusion is the process during which small nuclei combine to form a larger one.

The mass of the products of a nuclear fusion reaction is less than the mass of the original elements.

A fusion reaction proceeds because the binding energy of the resulting nucleus is greater than the binding energy of the original nuclei.
