Nuclear fusion and nuclear fission are two different types of energy-releasing reactions that occur in the nuclei of an atom.
Here are the major differences between the two:
1. To differentiate the two, fission is the splitting of an atom into two or more smaller atoms while fusion is the conjoining or fusion of two or smaller atoms into larger one.
2. Fission does not normally occur in nature while fusion occurs mostly in heavenly bodies such as the stars.
3.Fission produces highly radioactive particles that can be hazardous to both the living things and its habitat or environment while fusion is "clean energy" and "environmental friendly" meaning there are fewer radioactive particles are produced. But if a fission "trigger" is being used, there will be radioactive particles produced.
Among the two nuclear changes, fission is widely used because this reaction produces heat in nuclear reactor. This heat is used to generate steam which operates the turbines to eventually produce electricity.

Explanation:
<span>lithium and fluoride ions are arranged in an alternating three-dimensional crystal lattice. It's not possible to really isolate a single Li-F pair in the solid state. The many positive-negative electrical attractions hold the solid together. Ionic compounds are usually solids at room temperature since these electrical attractions are quite strong.</span>
Answer:
NaCl.
Explanation:
In the solution, ZnSe ionizes to 
and 
. Following reaction represents the ionization of ZnSe in solution -
⇄ 
As we want to increase the solubility of ZnSe, we must decrease the concentration of dissociated ions so that the reaction continues to forward direction.
If we add NaCl to this solution, then we have 
and 
in the solution which will be formed by the ionization of NaCl.
Now, in the solution will react with two ions to form 
as follows -
⇄
Due to this reaction the concentration of will decrease in the solution and more ZnSe can be soluble in the solution.
Answer:
The result is 3.859 in which we use four significant figures.
Explanation:
We start by solving the mathematical operation :
The result for the operation is 3.859438 but the numbers in the operation are given with four significant figures and that is why we are going to use four significant figures to express the result
To express 3.859438 with four significant figures we use the first four digits that appear from left to right starting by the first digit that is different to zero
In this case : 3.859 will be the result with four significant figures.
We also use a rule that says : To decide if the last significant figure remains the same we look for the value of the digit at its right.
If that number is greater than or equal to 5 ⇒ we sum one to the last significant figure
For example 3.859738 = 3.860 with four significant figures because the ''7'' is greater that 5
If that number is less than 5 ⇒ the last significant figure remains the same
In our case : 3.859438 = 3.859 because ''4'' is less than ''5''
