Which of the following can undergo nuclear fusion reaction?(a) uranium (b) deuterium (c) barium (d) krypton
(b) deuterium
Explanation
Nuclear fusion is the process by which two nuclei of light elements such as hydrogen are combined to form a heavy nucleus. Hydrogen atoms with mass number 2 are known as Deuterium.
When deuterium atoms are heated to an extremely high temperature under extremely high pressure, two deuterium nuclei combine to form a heavy nucleus of helium, and a neutron is emitted. A tremendous amount of energy is liberated in this fusion reaction.
Reaction:
$_{1}^{2} \mathrm{H}+_{1}^{2} \mathbf{H} \stackrel{\text { fusion }}{\longrightarrow}\ _{2}^{3} \mathrm{He}+_{0}^{1} \mathrm{n}+ Tremendous\ amount\ of\ energy$
