Question 3: The process that occurs when two nuclei come together to form one bigger nucleus is called b) fusion.

Question 4: The process that occurs when one nucleus splits to form two smaller nuclei is called a) fission.

Question 5: Scientists have been able to develop a nuclear fusion plant to generate energy. False. (As of my last knowledge update in October 2023, while there have been significant advancements in nuclear fusion research, a commercially viable nuclear fusion power plant has not yet been developed.)
