Fission, fusion, and radioactive decay take different paths toward nuclear stability. Despite their differences, each process achieves nuclear stability while conserving both energy and mass. Use Figures 1, 2, and 3 to construct a multi-paragraph response that illustrates how protons, neutrons, and energy are conserved during fission, fusion, and radioactive decay. Cite specific examples from the figures to support your response, and choose only one model of radioactive decay as a reference.
