Options
- AA-P, Q; B-P, R; C-S; D-P
- BA-P; B-Q; C-R; D-S
- CA-Q; B-R; C-S; D-P
- DA-P, R; B-P, Q; C-S; D-P
Correct answer
A. A-P, Q; B-P, R; C-S; D-P
Step-by-step solution
- (A) Nuclear fusion: (Q) Generally occurs for nuclei with low atomic number, and (P) Converts some matter into energy. Fusion involves combining light nuclei. - (B) Nuclear fission: (R) Generally occurs for nuclei with higher atomic number, and (P) Converts some matter into energy. Fission involves splitting heavy nuclei. - (C) --decay: (S) Essentially proceeds by weak nuclear forces. Beta decay is a process governed by the weak nuclear force. - (D) Exothermic nuclear reaction: (P) Converts some matter into energy
