Question

Inside stars in space, the nuclei of hydrogen atoms fuse together to form helium atoms. This represents which form of energy?

Answer 1

Explanation:

When two small nuclei combine together to form a large nuclei then it is known as nuclear fusion.

When nuclei of two hydrogen atoms fuse together then it results in the formation of a helium atom along with the release of lot of energy. This energy is nuclear energy.

This nuclear reaction is as follows.

      $^{2}_{1}H + ^{3}_{1}H \rightarrow ^{4}_{2}He + ^{1}_{0}n + Energy$

Thus, we can conclude that nuclear fusion represents nuclear energy.

Answer 2

This is nuclear energy by fusion !!
