What is the particle X in the fusion reaction shown below ?
\({ }_1^2 H +{ }_1^2 H \rightarrow{ }_2^3 He + X +3.27 MeV\)
- A an electron
- B \(\alpha\)-particle
- C a neutron
- D a positron
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 (\({ }_0^1 n\)).

Bioactive molecule, cyclosporin A, that is used as an immunosuppressive agent in organ-transplant patients, is produced by the fungus Trichoderma polysporum. Statins produced by the yeast Monascus purpureus have been commercialised as blood-cholesterol lowering agents. It acts by competitively inhibiting the enzyme responsible for synthesis of cholesterol. Baculoviruses are pathogens that attack insects and other arthropods. The majority of baculoviruses used as biological control agents are in the genus Nucleopolyhedrovirus. These viruses are excellent candidates for species-specific, narrow spectrum insecticidal applications. They have been shown to have no negative impacts on plants, mammals, birds, fish or even on non-target insects. BOD refers to the amount of the oxygen that would be consumed if all the organic matter in one liter of water were oxidised by bacteria. The sewage water is treated till the BOD is reduced. Cheese, is one of the oldest food items in which microbes were used. Different varieties of cheese are known by their characteristic texture, flavour and taste. For example, the large holes in 'Swiss cheese' are due to production of a large amount of CO₂ by a bacterium named Propionibacterium sharmanii.
