(a)
Interpretation:
The type of nuclear reaction in the sun has to be given.
Concept Introduction:
Nuclear fission:
Nuclear fission is the reaction that occurs when the nucleus of an atom splits into two smaller nuclides having similar masses during fission process energy is released.
Nuclear fusion:
Nuclear fusion is the process of making a single heavy nucleus from two lighter nuclei. It releases a large amount of energy. This energy powers the heat and lights the stars. Fusion happens in the middle of stars.
(b)
Interpretation:
The type of nuclear reaction that takes place when a neutron is used to bombarded nucleus has to be given.
Concept Introduction:
Refer to part (a).
(c)
Interpretation:
The type of nuclear reaction in which large amount of energy is released has to be given.
Concept Introduction:
Refer to part (a).
(d)
Interpretation:
