Answer:
D. Nuclei with small masses combine to form nuclei with larger masses.
B. A small amount of mass in the nuclei that combine is converted to energy
Explanation:
A nuclear fusion, in contrary to fission, is the process by which the nuclei of two atoms combine to form a much larger atom with a large nuclei. Likewise, during a fusion reaction, a large amount of energy is released from the small amount of mass in the nuclei (two) that combines.
According to this question, the following are true of a fusion reaction:
- Nuclei with small masses combine to form nuclei with larger masses.
- A small amount of mass in the nuclei that combine is converted to enormous energy.
