In nuclear fission process, energy is released because [2001]

(1) mass of products is more than mass of nucleus.

(2) total binding energy of products formed due to nuclear fission is more than that the parent fissionable material.

(3) total binding energy of products formed due to nuclear fission is less than parent fissionable material.

(4) mass of some particles is converted into energy.

Fusion reaction takes place at a higher temperature because:

1. atoms get ionized at high temperatures.
2. kinetic energy is high enough to overcome the Coulomb repulsion between nuclei.
3. molecules break up at a high temperature.
4. nuclei break up at a high temperature.
