Why the Fusion reaction takes place at high temperature among the nuclei, though these experience repulsion between them:

  1. A atoms get ionised at high temperatures
  2. B Molecule breakup at high temperate
  3. C Kinetic energy is high enough to overcome repulsion between nuclei
  4. D Nuclei break at high temperature and is independent of repulsion between nuclei at this is temperature
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) Kinetic energy is high enough to overcome repulsion between nuclei

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

High temperatures provide the nuclei with immense kinetic energy, enabling them to move fast enough to overcome the strong electrostatic repulsion (Coulomb barrier) between their positive charges. This allows them to get close enough for the strong nuclear force to pull them…
