Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The process described is nuclear energy, which involves the release of energy from the splitting or combining of atoms in nuclear reactions. Nuclear decay (A) refers to the spontaneous breakdown of a nucleus, while the half-life (B) is the time it takes for half of the atoms in a sample to decay. Nuclear fusion (C) refers to the process of combining two atomic nuclei to form a heavier element, also releasing energy in the process.
