Four hydrogen atoms combine to form an \( ^4_2He \) atom with a release of 26.7 MeV of energy. This is:
Show Hint
- fission reaction
- \( \beta^+ \) emission
- \( \beta^- \) emission
- \( \gamma \) emission
- fusion reaction
The Correct Option is
Solution and Explanation
Step 1: The process described in the question is the fusion of hydrogen nuclei to form a helium nucleus, which is a typical example of nuclear fusion.
Step 2: In nuclear fusion, multiple light nuclei (in this case, hydrogen atoms) combine to form a heavier nucleus (helium), releasing a large amount of energy. The energy released here is 26.7 MeV, which is characteristic of fusion reactions.
Step 3: Therefore, the process described is a fusion reaction.
