Question

Which is a product of nuclear fusion?

a nucleus that has a greater mass number than the starting materials
two nuclei that are roughly half the mass of the starting materials
a nucleus that has the same atomic number as the starting materials
two nuclei that have greater atomic numbers than the starting materials

The Answer is: A

Answer 1

The product of nuclear fusion is a nucleus that has a greater mass number than the starting materials.

What is nuclear fusion?

Nuclear fusion occurs when two or more atomic nuclei unite to generate one or more new atomic nuclei and subatomic particles.

The release or absorption of energy is caused by the mass differential between the reactants and products.

• If absorption of energy takes place then the formed nuclei will have the higher mass than reactant nuclei.
• If release of energy takes place then the formed nuclei will have the lighter mass than reactant nuclei.

Hence a nucleus that has a greater mass number than the starting materials is the product of the nuclear fusion is .
