1. 01

   What are the primary products of nuclear fusion?

   A heavier atomic nucleus and a large amount of energy.

2. 02

   What conditions are required for nuclear fusion to occur?

   Extremely high temperatures and pressures, such as those found in stars.

3. 03

   What is a key challenge in achieving controlled nuclear fusion on Earth?

   Sustaining the extremely high temperatures and pressures required for the reaction.

4. 04

   What is a key advantage of nuclear fusion as an energy source?

   It produces significantly less long-lived radioactive waste compared to nuclear fission.

5. 05

   What is a key advantage of nuclear fission as an energy source?

   It is a well-established technology capable of generating large amounts of electricity.

6. 06

   What is a key disadvantage of nuclear fission as an energy source?

   It produces long-lived radioactive waste that requires secure storage.

7. 07

   What is a key disadvantage of nuclear fusion as an energy source?

   The technology is still in the experimental stages and is not yet commercially viable.

8. 08

   What is nuclear fission?

   A nuclear reaction where the nucleus of an atom splits into smaller parts, releasing a large amount of energy.

9. 09

   What is nuclear fusion?

   A nuclear reaction where two or more atomic nuclei collide at very high speeds and join to form a new type of atomic nucleus, releasing a large amount of energy.

10. 10

    What are the primary products of nuclear fission?

    Smaller atomic nuclei (fission products), neutrons, and a large amount of energy.
