Question

what is one way in which fission differs from fusion? a fission splits nuclei, fusion combines nuclei. b fission releases energy, fusion absorbs energy. c fission is not a radioactive process, fusion is radioactive. d fission deals with the nucleus, fusion pertains to the electrons.

Explanation:

Fission is the splitting of a heavy nucleus into smaller nuclei, while fusion is the combining of light - weight nuclei into a heavier one. Both fission and fusion release energy. Both are nuclear processes and involve the nucleus, not electrons. And both can be part of radioactive processes.

Answer:

A. Fission splits nuclei, fusion combines nuclei.
