Choose the statement about nuclear fusion that is always correct? A) Very little energy is released in fusion processes. B) Due
to its instability, 56Fe readily undergoes fusion. C) Nuclear fusion is an energetically favorable process for lighter atoms. D) In fusion reactions, a proton and an electron combine to create a neutron.
Nuclear fusion is an energetically favorable process for lighter atoms.
Explanation:
Fusion is the process that takes lighter nuclei and combines them to create heavier nuclei. All fusion and fission process tend to lead toward the nuclei 56Fe.
