When two deuterium nuclei fuse together to form a tritium nuclei, we get a

Options

A. `alpha` particle
B. Deuteron
C. Proton
D. Neutron

Answer

C

Explanation

Deuterium ` ""_1H^2, " proton " - ""_1H^1 " and Tritium " - ""_1H^3`
`therefore ""_1H^2 + ""_1H^2 to ""_1H^3 + X`
(where X is the particle produced)
`therefore` For X, Z = 1 + 1 - 1 = 1 and A = 2 + 2 - 3 = 1
Thus the particle is `""_1X^1` or proton `""_1H^1`
