Nuclear fusion occurs naturally in the hearts of stars. To a lesser extent, it can happen in very massive planets (more than, say, 13 times the mass of Jupiter), where temperatures and pressures in the core are sufficient to cause hydrogen and deuterium to fuse.

What is the type of nuclear reaction that results in the production of synthetic elements?

The type of nuclear reaction that results in the production of synthetic elements is nuclear fusion. This process involves combining atomic nuclei to create new, heavier elements. In a controlled environment such as a nuclear reactor, scientists can create synthetic elements that do not occur naturally on Earth.


Describe what takes place in a nuclear fusion reaction?

In nuclear fusion reaction two nuclei are combined by providing the energy.


What are the technical problems related to nuclear fusion?

Nuclear fusion requires very high temperatures and immense pressures to start and continue. The problems with a nuclear fusion reactor would be:- 1) the high temperatures would melt the container: therefore, the reaction would have to be stored in a vacuum suspended by a magnetic field and the reactor would have to be continually cooled. 2) nuclear fusion occurs naturally in stars such as our sun: unless the fusion reaction was limited in size in some way, it would be likely that our planet is vapourised by the reaction.
