Fusion reactions constitute the fundamental energy source of stars, including the Sun. Hydrogen “burning” initiates the fusion e

nergy source of stars and leads to the formation of helium. Generation of fusion energy for practical use also relies on fusion reactions between the lightest elements that burn to form helium. In fact, the heavy isotopes of hydrogen—deuterium and tritium—react more efficiently with each other, and, when they do undergo fusion, they yield more energy per reaction than do two hydrogen nuclei. The hydrogen nucleus consists of a single proton. The deuterium nucleus has one proton and one neutron, while tritium has one proton and two neutrons.
What conclusion can be drawn from this information?

A)
Deuterium and tritium are required to burn hydrogen.


B)
The most efficient fusion reactors would use two hydrogen nuclei.


C)
The most efficient fusion reactors would use heavier forms of hydrogen.


D)
Helium occurs naturally. The burning of hydrogen is not required to get helium in nature.

Answer:

C)  The most efficient fusion reactors would use heavier forms of hydrogen.

Explanation:

From the information presented to us in the question, the third sentence reveals that heavier forms of hydrogen produces larger amount of energy and most importantly reacts more efficiently when fusion occurs.

<em>In fact, the </em><u><em>heavy isotopes of hydrogen—deuterium and tritium—react more efficiently</em></u><em> with each other, and, when they do undergo fusion, they yield more energy per reaction than do two hydrogen nuclei. </em>

Why is the melting point of a network solid so high? How is this related to what a network solid is?
Alexxandr [17]
I believe that the answer to the question provided above is that molecules in solid are compact and are connected. It requires huge energy to move it, thus requires high temperature.
Hope my answer would be a great help for you.    If you have more questions feel free to ask here at Brainly.
