Interpretation:
To fill in the blanks.
Combining to small nuclei to form a larger nuclei is referred to as the process of nuclear……….
Concept Introduction:
The radioactive decay is the conversion of the unstable nuclei to the stable nuclei with some other by-product like alpha, beta and gamma. When they are formed by combination, they are known as fusion and when they are formed by decomposition, they are known as fission. The beta particles increase the atomic number of an atom by 1 and there is no change in the mass of an atom. While alpha particles decreases the mass number by 4 and atomic number by 2.
The two types of nuclear processes that occur that are nuclear fission and nuclear fusion. Nuclear fusion is the reaction of the formation of bigger nuclei by combining two smaller nuclei. The deuterium source is the most important fuel for the nuclear fusion process.
The nuclear fusion reaction is follows:
