B:  Fission reactors generate huge amounts of heat.

C:  Fission breaks down unstable elements such as uranium in a breeder                         reactor which is broken down in the process of fusion which is literally breaking down of elements.

E: fission is used in nuclear weapons as it is easier to accomplish then fusion  bombs

Explanation:

A: as a zero-waste energy source

B: for generating large amounts of heat

C: for creating stable elements from unstable ones

D: for creating new, heavier elements

E: as the energy source in nuclear weapons

for generating large amounts of heat

as the energy source in nuclear weapons

Explanation:

it is to be noted that an alpha particle is an helium nucleus. so it contains 2 protons 2 neutrons and has a mass number of 4. when alpha decay particles are ejected from the nucleus it gets transformed into an atom which has atomic number less than 2 and a mass number less than 4.

an equation that could represent alpha decay is radium 226 decay of alpha particle forms radon 222.
