Question

Fusion reaction takes place at high temperature because

• A. KE is high enough to overcome repulsion between nuclei
• B. Nuclei are most stable at this temperature
• C. Nuclei are unstable at this temperature
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is A KE is high enough to overcome repulsion between nuclei

A

As the temperature increases the kinetic energy of the nuclei also increases thus we can overcome the repulsion between nuclei. Thus the fusion reaction can easily take place.
