Question

Suppose a scientist doing an experiment in nuclear fusion starts out with twelve atoms. How many atoms will most likely result from the experiment

Answer 1

six, because atoms combine during nuclear fusion

Answer 2

So we wan't to know what happens during nuclear fusion where we have 12 atoms. Nuclear fusion is a nuclear process where 2 or more nuclei will form 1 or more different nuclei with a release of energy. So if we start with 12 atoms, the most likely result will be 6 atoms.
