What is the particle X in the fusion reaction shown below ?
\({ }_1^2 H +{ }_1^2 H \rightarrow{ }_2^3 He + X +3.27 MeV\)

  1. A an electron
  2. B \(\alpha\)-particle
  3. C a neutron
  4. D a positron
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) a neutron

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

A conservation: \(2+2 = 3+A_X \Rightarrow A_X=1\) Z conservation: \(1+1 = 2+Z_X \Rightarrow Z_X=0\) Particle X is a neutron (\({ }_0^1 n\)).
