Homework Statement
Which of the following reactions will release large amount of energy
(1) Nuclear fusion
(2) alpha - decay
(3) Nuclear fission
(4) gamma - decay
two of the options are:
B (1) and (3) only
D (1), (2), (3), (4)
none
I tried D but the solution says it should be B.
I don't understand why alpha - decay and gamma - decay do not give large amount of energy.
