Which one of the following statements about fission and fusion is false?

▸ Fission occurs among the heaviest isotopes, whereas fusion occurs more readily for light isotopes.

▸ For a fission reaction the mass defect (Δm) is negative, whereas for fusion Δm is positive.

▸ In order for fusion reactions to occur, temperatures must be in the millions of degrees.

▸ Neutron-induced fission processes can occur at room temperature, rather than at millions of degrees.
