FUSION COMPARISON case: light nuclei produces evidence from mass defect. Which option best answers the objective "Calculate mass defect from nuclear masses." for Mass and energy, while reaching the conclusion about energy release?.
- A.nuc-108-fusion-comparison: Link light nuclei to mass defect and conclude energy release for Mass and energy.
- B.nuc-108-fusion-comparison: Ignore mass defect and answer with an unrelated Radioactivity recall phrase.
- C.nuc-108-fusion-comparison: Swap the required nuclear distinction and claim energy release without evidence.
- D.nuc-108-fusion-comparison: Use a calculation label only, without applying calculate mass defect from nuclear masses..
Model answer
What a good answer should say
- The correct option is nuc-108-fusion-comparison: Link light nuclei to mass defect and conclude energy release for Mass and energy.
Explanation
Why this works
It is correct because the fusion comparison context uses mass defect to support calculate mass defect from nuclear masses. in Mass and energy.
The distractors fail because they either ignore the evidence, swap a nuclear concept boundary, or give a label without the required A-Level Physics reasoning.
