Question

Which of the following is not true? A) The energy of the sun comes from nuclear fusion. B) The fuel for nuclear fusion comes from sea water. C) The current nuclear power industry uses nuclear fission. D) When fusion occurs the final products have less mass than the initial products. E) Nuclear fission requires extremely high energy because positively charged particles must overcome their mutual repulsion.

Answer 1

Answer:

Option B) The fuel for nuclear fusion comes from sea water

Explanation:

Nuclear fusion can not be carried out by using any type of water as water is composed of stable water molecules ($H_{2}O$ which is quite difficult to be decayed by any simple method.

Moreover, fusion reactions demands the combination of nuclei of lighter elements for which it makes use of the heavy isotopes of Hydrogen that are Deuterium and Tritium as fuel to carry out the nuclear fusion.
