Nuclear Physics Questions

REMEMBER to multiply both charges individually and not combine them:

13 × 1.6 × 10^-19 × 2 × 1.6 × 10 ^-19 IS NOT EQUAL TO

15 × 1.6 × 10^-19 !!!!

D

Dont forget the mass/moles x avo, mass is in grams!

B. WHY is A incorrect?

Scientists continue to try to produce a viable fusion reactor to generate energy on Earth using reactors like the Joint European Torus (JET). The method requires a plasma that has to be raised to a suitable temperature for fusion to take place.

(i) State two nuclei that are most likely to be used to form the plasma of a fusion reactor.

Hydrogen - 2

Hydrogen - 3

Nuclear fusion involves combining light nuclei, like hydrogen isotopes, to form a heavier nucleus.
