Question

Which net change occurs in a nuclear fusion

reaction?
(1) Ionic bonds are broken.
(2) Ionic bonds are formed.
(3) Energy is converted to mass.
(4) Mass is converted to energy.

Answer 1

The correct answer would be option 4. Fusion reaction is a type of nuclear reaction where two or more nuclei combine or collide to form an element with a higher atomic number. This happens when the collision is in a very high speed. In this process, some of the matter of the fusing nuclei is converted to energy.
