Question

Assertion: The reaction; ${}_1{H}^2+{}_0{n}^1\to {}_{2}H{e}^4+{}_0{n}^1$ will not happen.

Reason: The equation given is not balanced.

• A. Both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion
  
• B. Both Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion
  
• C. Assertion is true but Reason is false
  
• D. Assertion is false but Reason is true
• E. Both Assertion and Reason are false

Answer 1

The correct option is A Both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion

${}_1{H}^2$ is deuteron particle. The fusion reaction of three deuteron particles into an $\alpha$ particle(${}_{2}H{e}^4$) takes place by release of one neutron(${}_0{n}^1$) and one proton (${}_1{H}^1$). The correct reaction is

${}_1{H}^2{+}_1{H}^2{+}_1{H}^2{\to }_{2}H{e}^4{+}_0{n}^1{+}_1{H}^1$
