Fission v. Fusion - 4a

Multiple Choice

In nuclear reactions--

a large amount of matter produces a small amount of energy.

a small amount of matter produces a large amount of energy.

Multiple Choice

In Alpha decay what particle is emitted?

Helium (He)

Electron (e^-)

Energy (Photon)

Dropdown

When a large nucleus (like Uranium) is split, causing a chain reaction that releases explosive force

Multiple Choice

In Beta decay what particle is emitted?

Helium (He)

Electron (e^-)

Energy (Photon)

Multiple Choice

When small nuclei are exposed to intense heat and pressure, they join to create a larger nucleus, releasing huge amounts of energy

Nuclear Fusion

Nuclear Fission

Multiple Choice

In Gamma decay what particle is emitted?
