MCQ
Fusion reaction take place at high temperature because:
  • A
    Atoms are ionized at high temperature.
  • B
    Molecules break up at high temperatures.
  • C
    Nuclei break up at high temperature.
  • Kinetic energy is high enough to overcome repulsion between nuclei.

Answer

Correct option: D.
Kinetic energy is high enough to overcome repulsion between nuclei.

Fusion reaction takes place at temperature about $10^7K.$
It requires this high temperature so that nucleus are moving rapidly, so that they have high kinetic energy and can come together by overcoming repulsion between them.
