Chemistry - Chemical Kinetics Question with Solution | TestHub

Anuclear reaction in which two lighter nuclei are fused together to form a heavier nuclei is called nuclear fusion. In such a process, more stable nuclei come into existence i.e., binding energy per nucleon increases. Fusionreactionsarehighlyexothermicbecause of loss of mass during fusion. e.g. $${}_1^2\mathrm{H}+{}_1^2\mathrm{H}\to {}_2^4\mathrm{He}+24.9\mathrm{MeV}$$
