Nuclear reactions – change in the identity or characteristics of an atomic nucleus that results when it is bombarded with an energetic particle, as in fission, fusion, or radioactive decay Combustion products – end product when fuels, such as hydrocarbons, remain after the process of combustion.

Why humans need resources Natural resources – materials or substances such as minerals, forests, water, and fertile land that occur in nature and can be used for economic gain.
