Question
Fusion reaction takes place at high temperature because
Options
A.nuclei break up at high temperature
B.atoms get ionised at high temperature
C.kinetic energy is high enough to overcome the coulomb repulsion between nuclei
D.molecules break up at high temperature
Solution
Extremely high temperature nedded for fusion make kinetic energy large enough overcome coulomb repulsion between nuclei.
