Answer:
Fusion
Fission
Step-by-step explanation:
The first problem describes a nuclear fusion process. In this process;
- small atomic nuclei combines to form a larger one.
- it is accompanied by a large release of energy
- this energy provides the needed temperature to set up another light nuclei to fuse.
The second problem describes nuclear fission,
- a heavy nuclide is bombarded with a neutron.
- the product formed becomes unstable and subsequently breaks down.
- This leads to a series of chain reactions until stability is attained.
