MCQ
Fusion reaction takes place at very high temperature because:
  • A
    Atoms are ionised at high temperatures
  • B
    Molecules breakup at high temperature
  • 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 reactions takes place at temperature about $10^7\ K$ it requires this high temperature so that nucleus are moving at very high speed, so that they have high kinetic energy and can overcome the repulsion between nuclei and come together.
