Fusion reaction is more energetic than fission reaction because
- A In the fusion reaction lighter nuclei combine to form a heavier nucleus
- B Uncontrolled chain reaction is taking place In the fusion reaction.
- C The energy released per unit mass of the fuel in fusion reaction is larger than the energy released per unit mass of the fuel in fission reaction.
- D Fusion reaction is taking place at very high temperature
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) The energy released per unit mass of the fuel in fusion reaction is larger than the energy released per unit mass of the fuel in fission reaction.
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
The energy released in a nuclear reaction is determined by the mass defect, which is the difference between the mass of the reactants and the mass of the products. This mass defect is converted into energy according to Einstein's mass-energy equivalence relation,…
