The process by which protons are converted into helium atom with a tremendous release of energy is called____________
A. themionic emission B. nuclear fission C. thermonuclear fission D. photoelectric emission
Correct Answer: B
Explanation
The nuclear fusion between deuterium \(\left({ }_1^2 \mathrm{H}\right)\) and tritium \(\left({ }_1^3 \mathrm{H}\right)\) produces helium and neutron with a release of tremendous amount of energy \({ }_1^3 \mathrm{H}+{ }_1^2 \mathrm{H} \rightarrow\) \({ }_2^4 \mathrm{He}+{ }_0^1 \mathrm{n}+\) Energy
