Question
why would placing two very strong magnets in the middle of two separate balloons provide a good model for nuclear fusion?
A. the nucleus is very large compared to the rest of the atom, just like the balloon surrounding the magnet
B. some nuclei repel each other and some attract each other, just like two sides of a magnet
C. if the atoms combined, then it would destroy both of them, just like the balloons would be destroyed
D. the positive charges of the nuclei make it difficult for the nuclei to join, just like the balloons keep magnets apart

B. some nuclei repel each other and some attract each other, just like two sides of a magnet
Nuclear fusion involves bringing together two atomic nuclei to form a larger nucleus, similar to how the opposite poles of magnets attract each other. Just like how the magnets can either repel or attract each other, certain atomic nuclei repel each other while others are attracted to each other during the fusion process. This is why using strong magnets in balloons can provide a good model for understanding the principles of nuclear fusion.
