Explanation

1. Ca (Calcium):

Calcium is an element with the atomic number of 20. It is an alkaline earth metal. The 99% of calcium is found in our bodies, in bones, teeth.

2. Proton:

Proton is a subatomic particle and it holds the positive charge. Proton is present in the nucleus of the atom.

3. H2O (water):

Water is a chemical compound and it's chemical formula is H2O. It's called compound as it contains 2 hydrogen and 1 oxygen atoms bonded together through the covalent bond.

4. Fission:

Fission is a process in which large massive unstable nucleus splits into the smaller, less heavier and stable nuclei. The energy is re;eased in the form of radiations during this process. It's called as the radioactive decay.

5. Fusion:

Fusion is opposite of the fission reaction. As in this case the two nuclei combines to form a single large nucleus. That's why it is a nuclear synthesis process.

6. η neutron:

Neutron is a subatomic particle and it is a neutral particle which is located inside the nucleus. n is a symbol used for the neutron.

7. e Electron:

The symbol for electron is e. It's a subatomic particle with negative charge. It is found in the orbits around the nucleus.

8.  Atomic Number:

Atomic number is defined as the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom. IT is represented by Z.
