Question

Nuclear fusion produces more energy than nuclear fission, but requires more initial energy. please select the best answer from the choices provided t f

Answer 1

The answer should be true

Answer 2

Answer: The given statement is True.

Nuclear fusion is a phenomenon that involves the formation of larger nucleus when two smaller nuclei fuse together. Large amount of energy is provided to form larger nucleus in order to overcome the electronic repulsion.

On the contrary, nuclear fission involves splitting of larger nucleus into two or more smaller nuclei. Energy is released in this process.

Therefore, more initial energy is required in nuclear fusion.
