<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is false.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Atomic fission reactions are defined as reactions in which nucleus of an atom splits into two or more smaller nuclei. These reactions are carried out in nuclear reactors. The temperature range for the reactors are around 300°C.

Atomic fusion reactions are the reactions in which nucleus of two or more atoms fuse together to form one large nuclei. These reactions require a huge amount of energy to occur. The temperature required by these reactions are about one million kelvins.

Hence, the given statement is False.

Answer:

Option A and D are correct.

Unstable species react rapidly.

Stable species do not react rapidly.

Explanation:

The complete question is attached to this solution.

The more stable a reactant is, the less reactive it will be. A stable reactant has a very stable structure in which it will avoid any perturbations. And for a reaction to occur, the bonds in the reactant must break down to form the products. A stable reactant has very strong bonds that aren't easy to break down, hence, reactions involving very stable reactants do not proceed rapidly.

And the more unstable a reactant specie is, the more rapidly it reacts. This is why the reaction involving the less stable isotope of carbon; Carbon-14 is very rapid. It is the same reason as explained above that is responsible for this. The bond between unstable species are not strong and are easily breakable, thereby leading to a quick reaction.
