Which statement best describes the process of nuclear fusion?

Chemistry
1 answer:
victus00 [196]4 years ago
4 0

Answer:

a. Smaller nuclei combine to make a larger nucleus.

Explanation:

Nuclear fusion is the process by which several atomic nuclei of similar charge bind and form a heavier nucleus.

In order for fusion to occur, an important energy barrier produced by electrostatic force must be overcome. Over long distances, two nuclei repel each other due to the electrostatic repulsion force between their protons, positively charged. However, if two nuclei can be approached sufficiently, due to the strong nuclear interaction, which is greater over short distances, electrostatic repulsion can be overcome, and fusion takes place.

Which element, if combined with chlorine, will have the greatest attraction for the chlorine electrons? N P As
Mumz [18]
Basically, the answer for this would be N or NITROGEN. If we combine nitrogen with chlorine, what happens is that, it can attract more chlorine electrons towards itself. The reason is that, nitrogen is considered more electronegative compared to chlorine. So best answer for this is the first option.
