Nuclear fusion in the sun involves hydrogen (H) atoms combining to form helium (He). A student claims that since the atmosphere

contains hydrogen, any fusion reaction on Earth would result in an uncontrolled chain reaction. What is wrong with the student's reasoning?
The hydrogen in air is not densely packed enough for an uncontrolled chain reaction.
Uncontrolled chain reactions can only happen during nuclear fission.
It is impossible to cause a fusion reaction to happen anywhere outside of the sun.
We are safe because there is no radioactive hydrogen in the air.

Select the correct structure that
Leto [7]

Answer:

c) both

Explanation:

hey, could you check the question once because I suppose it's 2-hexyne when there's a triple bond and 2-hexene when there's a double bond between Carbon atoms. As of the question asked, it's c) both but it's 2-hexene due to presence of double bond between Carbon atoms.

do tell me as well. have a good day :-))
