Question

Which type of decay is a form of nuclear fission?(1 point)
Responses

gamma decay
gamma decay

beta-plus decay
beta-plus decay

beta-minus decay
beta-minus decay

alpha decay
alpha decay

Answer 1

None of the options provided (gamma decay, beta-plus decay, beta-minus decay, alpha decay) are forms of nuclear fission.

Nuclear fission specifically refers to the process in which a heavy atomic nucleus splits into two or more smaller nuclei, along with the release of energy and neutrons. This process is distinct from the types of decay listed, which are forms of radioactive decay rather than fission.
