Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The given nuclear fission equation needs to be completed.
Concept Introduction:
Both fusion and fission are the nuclear reactions which generate energy but it is to be noted that for both the applications are not equal. Fission is to split the unstable, heavy nucleus into two smaller nuclei. Fusion is the procedure where two of the nuclei combine with each other to release huge amount of energy.
