Column A
1.
A:
A
2.
Z:
Z
3.
X:

Column B
a.Atomic Number
b.Atomic Symbol
c.Atomic Mass

Answer 1

**Question 22:**
The process that occurs when two nuclei come together to form one bigger nucleus is called:

**a - fusion**

---

**Question 23:**
In the A/Z X formatting for nuclear reactions, the symbols represent the following:

- **A (Atomic Mass)**: 1. c
- **Z (Atomic Number)**: 2. a
- **X (Atomic Symbol)**: 3. b

So, the matches are:
- 1. A: c (Atomic Mass)
- 2. Z: a (Atomic Number)
- 3. X: b (Atomic Symbol)
