Answer:
a. Smaller nuclei combine to make a larger nucleus.
Explanation:
Nuclear fusion is the process by which several atomic nuclei of similar charge bind and form a heavier nucleus.
In order for fusion to occur, an important energy barrier produced by electrostatic force must be overcome. Over long distances, two nuclei repel each other due to the electrostatic repulsion force between their protons, positively charged. However, if two nuclei can be approached sufficiently, due to the strong nuclear interaction, which is greater over short distances, electrostatic repulsion can be overcome, and fusion takes place.

Tc-99 is also a radioactive element. It's half-life is 2,11,000 years. Upon radioactive decay, it emits beta particles and gets converted into stable compound Ruthenium-99
This process of radioactive decay is shown below.
99 43Tc → 99 44Ru + 0 -1e

Answer:
D
Explanation:
According to IUPAC nomenclature, a negative polyatomic ion has its name ending in 'ate' or 'ite'
As in carbonate (CO3^2-)
Arsenite (AsO3-)
