Question
Nuclear fusion is possible in which of the following cases?
- Only between light nuclei
- Only between heavy nuclei
- Between both light and heavy nuclei
- Only between nuclei, which are stable against decay
Hint:
Nuclear fusion can be applied only to lighter nuclei.
The correct answer is: Only between light nuclei
- Nuclear fission splits a heavy unstable nucleus into lighter nuclei.
- The lighter nuclei can be got together by nuclear fusion.
- Heavy metals are not used for nuclear fusion.
