Which of the following are suitable for the fusion process
Which of the following are suitable for the fusion process
- Light nuclei
- heavy nuclei
- Element must be lying in the middle of the periodic table
- Middle elements, which are lying on binding energy curve
The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
The correct option is (A) : Light nuclei
As the atomic number of the reacting elements grows, so does the temperature needed to start the fusion process. Therefore, lighter nuclei are suited for the nuclear fusion process.

Nuclei
In the year 1911, Rutherford discovered the atomic nucleus along with his associates. It is already known that every atom is manufactured of positive charge and mass in the form of a nucleus that is concentrated at the center of the atom. More than 99.9% of the mass of an atom is located in the nucleus. Additionally, the size of the atom is of the order of 10-10 m and that of the nucleus is of the order of 10-15 m.
