Question

fission and fusion are two types of reaction.
a nuclear
b chemical
in the sun, mass is converted to.
a particles
b energy
what new atom is created in the solar nuclear fusion?
a hydrogen
b helium

Explanation:

Brief Explanations
  1. Fission and fusion involve changes in the nucleus of atoms, so they are nuclear reactions. Chemical reactions involve only the electrons outside the nucleus.
  2. According to Einstein's mass - energy equivalence (E = mc²), in the sun's nuclear reactions, mass is converted into energy.
  3. In solar nuclear fusion, hydrogen atoms combine to form helium atoms through a series of reactions.

Answer:

  1. A. nuclear
  2. B. energy
  3. B. Helium
