Q 2.2 a. A 12
b.
because nuclei with lower binding energy breaks to form products having higher binding energy
the energy released is the difference in the binding energies of the products and reactants
(iii) why high temperature is required for fusion to occur. [2]
to overcome the electrostatic force of repulsion between the nuclie
