Question

nuclear reactions can be written out in equation form with information about the nuclei that are produced. in one to two sentences, explain how you would identify the reaction as fusion, and give two different criteria.

Answer 1

Nuclear fusion involves the combination of two light nuclei to form a heavier nucleus with emission of energy.

A nuclear reaction equation is a representation of the change that takes place as one nucleus is converted to another. A nuclear transformation could be any of the following;

• Nuclear fission
• Nuclear fusion
• Transmutation

We can know that a nuclear fusion is taking place when two nuclei come together to form a larger nucleus and emit energy. I would identify a nuclear fusion when;

• Two light atom combine to give a larger nucleus
• Tremendous energy is produced
