1) This is a definition.
2) Protons are given by the bottom number (since atomic number = number of protons).
3) Neutrons = (mass number)-(atomic number), which are the top and bottom numbers, respectively.
4) Nuclear fusion involves combining two things together, which is only reflected by the last option.
5) This is a fact.
