Both nuclear fusion and nuclear fission reactions release large amounts of energy (answer D)

Further Explanation

Fusion and fission reactions are reactions involving atomic nucleus reactions

Fission reaction is a nucleation division reaction by firing a particle usually neutron so that it gets smaller particles of atomic nuclei.

Example:

Uranium nuclei division reaction

$_{92}U^{235}\:+\:_0n^1\:------\:_{54}Xe^{236}\:+_{38}Sr^{94}$

In this reaction, Uranium splits into Xe and Sr isotopes and releases energy and gamma radiation

Energy is generated based on the isotope mass from the beginning of the reaction and after division

A fusion reaction is a combining reaction of 2 atomic nuclei. Usually what is often used is a reaction between the hydrogen isotope that will form Helium

Ti + D -> He + n

Isotopes of Hydrogen Tritium and Deuterium form Helium

Let's look at the answer choices

a.release radioactive waste.

fusion nuclear reactions do not produce dangerous gamma radioactive waste as in fission nuclear reactions.

So wrong statement

b. involve the splitting of atoms.

This reaction only occurs in fission reactions, whereas fusion reactions are the merging of atomic nuclei

So wrong statement

c. are utilized in nuclear power plants.

In this plant only the fission reaction process is applied which produces heat energy to drive an electricity-generating generator

So wrong statement

d. large amounts of energy release.

Both fusion and fission reactions produce large energy due to the presence of atomic nucleus reactions

So this statement is true related to both fusion and fission reactions

Listen base your answer to the question on the information below.propane is a fuel that is sold in rigid, pressurized cylinders. most of the propane in a cylinder is liquid, with gas in the space above the liquid level. when propane is released from the cylinder, the propane leaves the cylinder as a gas. propane gas is used as a fuel by mixing it with oxygen in the air and igniting the mixture, as represented by the balanced equation below.c3h8(g) + 5o2(g) → 3co2(g) + 4h2o() + 2219.2 kja small amount of methanethiol, which has a distinct odor, is added to the propane to consumers detect a propane leak. in methanethiol, the odor is caused by the thiol functional group (–sh). methanethiol, ch3sh, has a structure that is very similar to the structure of methanol.what is the correct structural formula for a molecule of methanethiol
