Fill in the blanks with appropriate items :
Consider the following reaction, `.^(2)H_(1)+.^(2)H_(1)=.^(4)He_(2)+Q`.
Mass of the deuterium atom= `2.0141 u ` , Mass of the helium atom = `4.0024 u`
This is a nuclear ________ reaction in which the energy Q is released is ______ MeV.

Answer

Fusion, 24

Explanation

`Delta m =2(2.0141)-4.00024 rArr 0.0258`
`Q=Deltam xx 931.5 rArr 24.032`
