match the following term with the correct definition
strong force
nuclear decay
nuclear fission
electric / electromagnetic force
nuclear fusion

Explanation:

• Strong force: It is the force that holds together particles of the same charge within the nucleus (like quarks, neutrons - neutrons, protons - protons, protons - neutrons).
• Nuclear Decay: Occurs when isotopes break into unequal parts or fragments and continue this process until a stable daughter product is reached.
• Nuclear Fission: Happens when an atom splits into several smaller fragments, usually caused by a neutron hitting the nucleus.
• Electric/Electromagnetic force: Holds together things of opposite charges. Protons are repelled by this force when far apart.
• Nuclear Fusion: Involves two or more atomic nuclei colliding to form a new type of atomic nuclei.

Answer:

• Strong force: holds together things of the same charge (quarks, neutrons to neutrons, protons to protons, and protons to neutrons)
• Nuclear Decay: When isotopes break into unequal parts or fragments, and continue doing so, until reaching a stable daughter product.
• Nuclear Fission: when an atom splits into several smaller fragments, normally caused by a neutron hitting the nuclei.
• Electric/Electromagnetic force: holds together things of opposite charges. Protons are repelled by this force when far apart.
• Nuclear Fusion: two or more atomic nuclei collide and make a new type of atomic nuclei
