release radioactive waste.
involve the splitting of atoms.
are utilized in nuclear power plants.
release large amounts of energy.

Respuesta :

Answer: Both the nuclear reactions releases large amounts of energy.

Explanation: There are two types of nuclear reactions.

  1. Nuclear fission: In this nuclear reaction, the heavy nucleus splits instantly or on impact of any other particle,releasing some energy.
  2. Nuclear fusion: In this nuclear reaction, the nucleus of low atomic number fuse or combine together to form a heavier nuclei, releasing some energy.

Option 1: Between these two reactions, only nuclear fusion reactions produce radioactive products. Nuclear fission reactions also produce radioactive products but they are short lived and decay accordingly.

Option 2: Only nuclear fission reactions involve the splitting of atoms, nuclear fusion involves the combining of two atoms.

Option 3: In power plants, nuclear fission reactions takes place predominantly.

Option 4: Both the reactions release large amounts of heat as explained in the definition.
