Which one of the following statements about fission and fusion is false?



A) fission occurs among the heaviest isotopes, whereas fusion occurs more readily for light isotopes.

B) For a fission reaction the mass defect (deltaM) is negative, whereas for fusion deltaM is positive.

C) In order for fusion reactions to occur, temperatures must be in the millions of degrees

D)The fission of Pu-239 atoms produces a great number of isotopes of a large number of elements

E) Neutron induced fission processes can occur at room temperature, rather than at millions of degrees

Respuesta :

Answer:

b

Explanation fission reaction the mass defect is negative

The statement i.e. false regarding the fission and fusion is option b. For a fission reaction, the mass defect (deltaM) is negative, whereas for fusion deltaM is positive.

Fission and fusion:

Fission should arise when there are the heaviest isotopes while on the other hand, fusion arises when there are light isotopes. In the case of the fusion reactions, the temperature should be in degrees. The fission of Pu-239 atoms generated the highest no of isotopes. Also, the neutron-induced could arise at room temperature.
