The answer is a. fusion. The reaction formed a different element, so this is not a chemical reaction. Then c and d are not correct. Two atoms form one atom, so it is fusion.

What relationship exists between the mass number of an element and the isotopes of that element?
labwork [276]
The mass number plays an important role for elements and their isotopes. Mass number comes from the addition of protons and neutrons (their weight). Isotopes are the elements, but with a different number of neutrons. So in turn, by subtracting the number of protons (atomic number) from the mass, you can find the number of neutrons.

Describe the intermolecular forces that must be overcome to convert these substances from a liquid to a gas: (a) SO2, (b) CH3COO
Andre45 [30]
You need to find which intermolecular forces are between the molecules
dipole-dipole,h bonds, etc.
I'm not very good at explaining but this is what my prof said to help us

Identify the class of the molecule or molecules you are given. Are they nonpolar species, ions or
do they have permanent dipoles? Is there only one species or are there two?
In the case of ONE species (i.e., a pure substance), the intermolecular forces will be between
molecules of the same type. So if you are dealing with ions, the intermolecular forces will be ION-
ION or IONIC. If you are dealing with dipoles, then the intermolecular forces will be DIPOLE-
DIPOLE. If you are dealing with nonpolar species, the intermolecular forces will be DISPERSION
or VAN DER WAALS or INDUCED DIPOLE-INDUCED DIPOLE (the last three are desciptions
of the same interaction; regrettably we cannot call them nonpolar-nonpolar!).
In the case of TWO species (i.e., a mixture), the intermolecular forces will be between molecules of
one type with molecules of the second type. For example, ION-DIPOLE interactions exist between
ions dissolved in a dipolar fluid such as water.
