Question

a fission reaction is one in which the weaker electrostatic repulsion force wins out over the ____________ nuclear force and, as a result, one large nucleus creates two smaller nuclei and releases energy. a electromagnetic b strong c subatomic d weak

Explanation:

In a fission reaction, the electrostatic repulsion (a relatively weaker force in the context of the nucleus) overcomes the strong nuclear force that holds the nucleus together, causing the large nucleus to split into smaller nuclei and release energy. The strong nuclear force is what binds protons and neutrons in the nucleus.
