Question

(i) Why is a nuclear fusion reaction called a thermo nuclear reaction ?
(ii) Complete the reaction :

`""^3He_2 +""^2H_1 → "^4 He_2 + ......................+` Energy

Answer 1

(i) During fusion, large amount of energy is produced and fusion reaction requires very large temperature.
Therefore fusion reaction is called as thermo nuclear reaction.

`""^3He_2 +""^2H_1 → ""^4 He_2 + ""_1^1H` Energy
