Helium and a neutron:
D + T --> He + n + 17.59 MeV
What else can I help you with?
What particle is produced during thermonuclear fusion?
deuterium and tritium fuse producing helium and a neutronthe helium is fully ionized and thus could also be called an alpha particle
What is the most common typle of nuclear fusion in the sun?
The most common fusion in the sun is two hydrogen atoms fusing to produce helium. There are different ways this can happen. Two deuterium atoms may fuse, or a deuterium atom may fuse with a tritium atom, or two tritium atoms may fuse. Since the half life of tritium is rather short, the overwhelming majority of these atoms are deuterium atoms. The commonest form of hydrogen, known as protium, does not take part in the process.
How does hydrogen turn into helium in nuclear fusion?
The simplest and easiest reaction to do is deuterium tritium fusion, this makes helium-4 and a free neutron.The next simplest is deuterium deuterium fusion, this can make any of 3 products: helium-4, helium-3 and a free neutron, or tritium and hydrogen.The hardest is multistep, hydrogen hydrogen fusion, this makes helium-2 which instantly beta decays to deuterium, followed by deuterium deuterium or deuterium tritium fusion.There are various other pathways too.
What are the two gases associated with nuclear fusion?
The two gases associated with nuclear fusion are deuterium and tritium. When these two isotopes of hydrogen fuse together, they form helium and release a large amount of energy in the process.
What element do you get if you fuse two helium nuclei together?
Nuclear fusion occurs when two nuclei fuse together. This is frequently nuclei of deuterium and tritium (both hydrogen isotopes), which form a helium nucleus plus a neutron.
What is the resulting nucleus if a tritium and a deuterium nuclei fuse?
Helium and a neutron: D + T --> He + n + 17.59 MeV
What particle is produced during thermonuclear fusion?

What hydrogen isotope is used by a heavy water reactor?
hi, currently fusion reactors fuse the two lighter isotopes of hydrogen (protium and deuterium) into its heavier isotope tritium

What else apart from energy is released during nuclear fusion?
If you fuse deuterium (1p, 1n) with tritium (1p, 2n), you get helium (2p, 2n) plus a free neutron, plus the released energy
What is the difference between hydrogen fuel cells and hydrogen fussion?
In fuel cells the hydrogen is oxidised to water. In fusion 2 different isotopes of hydrogen (deuterium and tritium) fuse together to form helium.
What are the two gases associated with nuclear fusion?
The two gases associated with nuclear fusion are deuterium and tritium. When these two isotopes of hydrogen fuse together, they form helium and release a large amount of energy in the process.
Why does nuclear fusion work inside the sun but not in jupiter?
Jupiter is not massive enough to create the high temperature and high pressure required by even deuterium-tritium thermonuclear fusion, the lowest temperature and pressure type of fusion. The Sun is much more massive and can fuse ordinary hydrogen, deuterium, tritium, and helium 3; producing helium. When the sun begins to run out of hydrogen in 6 billion years, the core will collapse and eventually be able to fuse helium into carbon and become a red giant. The red giant will swallow Mercury, Venus and Earth before it stops expanding.
When different isotopes of hydrogen fuse in the sun nuclei of what are produced?
When different isotopes of hydrogen fuse in the sun, they produce helium nuclei. Specifically, the fusion process in the sun involves the conversion of hydrogen isotopes, such as deuterium and tritium, into helium-4 nuclei, along with the release of energy in the form of gamma rays and solar radiation.
What element do you get if you fuse two helium nuclei together?
Nuclear fusion occurs when two nuclei fuse together. This is frequently nuclei of deuterium and tritium (both hydrogen isotopes), which form a helium nucleus plus a neutron.
Fuel for a fusion reaction is?
Most water moderated reactors use yellowcake powder: a uranium oxide enriched to 3% uranium-235. A few reactors use metallic uranium, sometimes enriched past 20%. Some experimental reactors use plutonium or mixed uranium & plutonium.
