1. What describes Nuclear Fusion?
(starts when two atoms slam together to form one, heavier atom)
2. What does the evidence supporting the Big Bang theory assume about the universe when it began? Select the two correct answers. (1 point)
(it was very tiny - it was extremely hot)
3. What describes Nuclear Fission?
(starts when a neutron slams into an atom, causing the larger atom to split into two smaller atoms)
100% right. Make sure you pay attention for f(i)ssion and f(u)sion. Fission is when something breaks apart, fusion is when something combines. B)
