Question 22
Which process occurs when two nuclei come together to form one bigger nucleus?

a
fusion
b
fission
c
both
d
neither

When we write nuclear reactions, you use the A-Z-X formatting. Match the symbols to the terms they represent.

Answer 1

The process that occurs when two nuclei come together to form one bigger nucleus is called:

**a) fusion**

Regarding the A-Z-X formatting for nuclear reactions, here's a breakdown of the symbols:

- **A** represents the mass number (the total number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus).
- **Z** represents the atomic number (the number of protons in the nucleus).
- **X** represents the chemical symbol of the element.

If you have specific nuclear reaction symbols you'd like to match or need further details, please provide them!
