Choose all of the following that are true about fusion: Occurs in stars like our Sun. O Nuclear fusion is the common reaction in today's nuclear power plants O small nuclei combine to form a larger one. O It is the reaction in which two atoms of hydrogen combine together, or fuse, to form an atom of helium. O the splitting of an atomic nucleus into two or more lighter nuclei accompanied by energy release O It uses Uranium as its fucel. O Joins Hydrogen to make Helium while releasing energy
1) This statement is true. Fusion do occurs in our stars like sun.
2) This statement is false. Nuclear fusion is not the common reaction in today's nuclear power plants. The common reaction used in nuclear power plants is nuclear fission.
3) This statement is true. Smaller nuclei do combine or fuse to form a larger nuclei.
4) This statement is true. The two atoms of hydrogen do combine to form one atom of helium.
5) This statement is false. The splitting of atomic nucleus into two or more lighter nuclei with release of energy is known as nuclear fission, not nuclear fusion.
6) This statement is false. It uses hydrogen as fuel whereas nuclear fission uses uranium as a fuel.
7) This statement is true. Nuclear fusion do includes the joining of two hydrogen atom to form a Helium atom and releasing energy.
