Which statement is true about nuclear fusion?
A
It is caused by the same process that causes nuclear fission.B
It does not occur naturally in the solar system.C
It has very low activation energy.D
It produces nearly all the elements that are heavier than helium.4
Why is it important for scientists to replicate each other’s experiments?
A
to determine if important scientific results are repeatableB
to help the research of other scientistsC
to determine if slight alterations in the experiment can affect the resultD
to further their own research5

argon, which has an approximate mass of 39D
silicon, which has an approximate mass of 286
How does critical mass play a role in nuclear reactions?

It is the minimum amount of material needed to start a fission reaction.B
It is the minimum amount of material needed to start a fusion reaction.C
It is the minimum amount of material needed to sustain a fission reaction.D
It is the minimum amount of material needed to sustain a fusion reaction.7
Which type of reaction does this diagram represent?
A
nuclear fusion because nuclei combine to form a heavy nucleusB
nuclear fission because an atom is splitting into two large fragments of comparable massC
nuclear fusion because a large amount of energy is being releasedD
nuclear fission because the resulting products are not radioactive8
