Energy is released from stars due to nuclear fusion taking place in two cycles proton-proton cycle and carbon nitrogen cycle. In these cycles four hydrogen nuclei combine to from helium nucleus. In this fusion reaction in addition to energy how many number of nutrinous are released ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
2
In nuclear fusion 2 positrons and 2 nuetrinos are released
