Answers:
- neutrons striking nuclei
- a single large nucleus breaking apart
- two small nuclei forming
Explanation: In fission a heavy nucleus is struck by a neutron and splits into two smaller nuclei (plus neutrons), releasing energy. Fusion is the joining of two small nuclei, so the “joining” options and the general energy release are not unique to fission.
