Question
Hedea made a study chart about nuclear energy.
A 3-column table with 2 rows titled Nuclear Energy. The first column labeled Reaction has entries fission, fusion. The second column labeled Change to Nucleus has entries nuclei of atoms are split, nuclei of atoms are joined. The third column has entries Energy Conversion has entries converts nuclear to thermal, converts nuclear to radiant.
Which best describes the error in Hedea’s chart?
The nuclei of atoms are split apart in both fission and fusion.
The nuclei of atoms are joined together in both fission and fusion.
Fission converts nuclear energy to electrical energy, not thermal energy.
Fission and fusion convert nuclear energy to both radiant and thermal energy.

The best description of the error in Hedea’s chart is:
**The nuclei of atoms are split apart in both fission and fusion.**
This statement is incorrect because fission involves splitting the nuclei of atoms, while fusion involves joining nuclei together.
**The nuclei of atoms are split apart in both fission and fusion.**
This statement is incorrect because fission involves splitting the nuclei of atoms, while fusion involves joining nuclei together.
