Answer: The author used the word "conversely" because the first statement he made is in CONTRAST to the second statement he made.
Explanation:
Matter is made up of atoms or molecules that are in constant motion. The motion of these tiny particles ( molecules) gives the object energy. The movement of these molecules depends on the state of matter which includes
--> GASEOUS STATE: Here, the particles are completely free to move and are always in motion.
--> LIQUID STATE: particles in this state slide by one another and are always in motion.
--> SOLID STATE: particles in this state are held tightly together but are always in motion.
Also, the molecules in motion are greatly affected by temperature changes. Increase in temperature will cause the particles in the liquid to move faster. Such is seen when soup is heated, the molecules travel faster than before. But the OPPOSITE is seen in an ice cube. This is because the ice cube is in solid state and of a lower temperature.
Oxygen is a chemical element with symbol O and atomic number 8. Classified as a nonmetal, Oxygen is a gas at room temperature.
Answer: The correct option is 2.
Explanation: There are two types of nuclear reactions:
1) Nuclear fission: These reactions are defined as the reactions in which a heavier unstable nuclei breaks into two or more smaller stable nuclei.
2) Nuclear fusion: These reactions are the ones where two smaller nuclei fuse together or combine together to form a larger nuclei.
In the question, we need to find the fusion reaction which forms elements heavier than helium.
Option 1: In this fusion reaction occurs but the nuclei is Helium itself.
Option 2: In this also fusion reaction occurs and the nuclei is heavier than Helium which is Neon.

Option 3 and Option 4: These two reactions are nuclear fission reactions of Uranium-235 because one heavier element is breaking into more than 2 products.
Hence, the correct option is 2.
Answer:
with the proton inside the nucleus
