Question:
The correct statement is:
A. The nucleus ⁶³Li can emit an alpha particle
B. The nucleus ²¹⁰₈₄Po can emit a proton.
C. Deuteron and alpha particle can undergo complete fusion.
D. The nuclei ⁷⁰₃₀Zn and ⁸²₃₄Se can undergo complete fusion.
The nucleus63Lican emit an alpha particle
The nucleus21084Pocan emit a proton.
Deuteron and alpha particle can undergo complete fusion.
The nuclei7030Znand8234Secan undergo complete fusion.
Solution:
For fusion reaction to take place, the sum of masses of lighter nuclei must be greater than the mass of the heavy nucleus formed.
For fusion reaction : ²₁H + ⁴₂He → ⁶₃Li
Sum of mass of lighter nuclei Mₗ = 2.014102 + 4.002603 = 6.016705 u
Mass of ⁶₃Li Mₕ = 6.015123 u
As Mₗ > Mₕ, thus the above reaction is possible.
