Asked by a

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.

Fission and fusion convert nuclear energy to both radiant and thermal energy.

Explanation: both reactions release energy as kinetic/thermal energy (heat) and as electromagnetic radiation (including gamma rays). The chart incorrectly assigns only thermal to fission and only radiant to fusion.
