The mass difference in nuclear fission is referred to as the mass defect, which is converted into energy according to Einstein's equation E=mc².

The mass difference in nuclear fission is converted into kinetic energy of the fission fragments, according to Einstein's equation E=mc².

Nuclear fission releases a significant amount of energy and additional neutrons, which can induce further fission reactions.

Nuclear fission releases a significant amount of energy and additional neutrons, which can induce further fission reactions.

A neutron has no charge; it is electrically neutral.

A proton carries a positive charge of +1 elementary charge.

The energy released in nuclear fusion is primarily due to the mass defect, where the mass of the resulting nucleus is less than the sum of the masses of the individual nucleons.

The main consequence of nuclear fusion is the release of a significant amount of energy as lighter nuclei combine to form heavier nuclei.

Isotopes of an element differ in the number of neutrons while having the same number of protons.

The strong nuclear force is the primary force that holds the nucleons (protons and neutrons) together in the nucleus.

The fusion of hydrogen nuclei primarily produces helium, along with a release of energy.

The mass defect is the difference between the mass of the nucleus and the sum of the masses of its individual nucleons, which accounts for the binding energy.

Nuclear fusion is primarily applied in hydrogen bombs, where fusion reactions release immense energy.

The primary product of nuclear fission is energy, along with neutrons and smaller nuclei.

The fission of Uranium-235 primarily produces Barium and Krypton along with additional neutrons.

The primary product of hydrogen fusion in stars is helium, which occurs through the proton-proton chain reaction.

The primary product of the fusion of hydrogen nuclei (protons) is helium, along with the release of energy.

The stability of a nucleus is primarily determined by the ratio of neutrons to protons, which affects the balance of forces within the nucleus.

The emission of an alpha particle from a nucleus is known as alpha decay.

Beta decay is the process in which a neutron is converted into a proton, emitting an electron and an antineutrino.

Moderators are used in nuclear reactors to slow down fast neutrons, making them more likely to induce fission in the fuel.

The mass defect is the difference between the mass of the nucleus and the sum of the masses of its individual nucleons, indicating the stability and binding energy of the nucleus.

Beta decay involves the conversion of a neutron into a proton, emitting a beta particle (electron).

Beta plus decay involves the conversion of a proton into a neutron, emitting a positron.

Uranium-235 is commonly used as fuel in nuclear reactors due to its ability to sustain a chain reaction.

The strong nuclear force is responsible for holding the protons and neutrons together in the nucleus.

The strong nuclear force is responsible for holding the protons and neutrons together in the nucleus.

Nuclear fusion releases energy, requires high temperatures, and occurs in stars, making all options correct.

Nuclear reactions involve large energy changes due to the conversion of mass into energy, unlike chemical reactions.

Radioactive decay is a random process, meaning that it cannot be predicted when a particular nucleus will decay.
